Description
This is a BIOS dump, distributed as a ZIP archive of about 8.7 MB, with the original file name "Precision 3520 ME_CLEAN TESTED OK.zip". The name suggests a Dell Precision 3520 image with the Intel ME region cleaned, and the uploader marks it as tested, though that claim has not been verified here. The catalog does not list a board number, revision or chip size, so confirm those yourself before use. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after BIOS corruption or a failed update.

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: Precision 3520 ME CLEAN. 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.
