Description
This is a BIOS dump with a 16 MB flash chip size, saved under the original file name "opt 3046 new". The facts do not name the brand, model, board number or revision, so check the file and the Telegram post for those details before flashing. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your motherboard, and read and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if something goes wrong.

Questions about this file
How do I flash this BIOS dump?
Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.
Will this BIOS work on my board?
Only if the board number and revision match: opt 3046. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.
What does “clean ME” mean?
The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
