Description
This page holds a BIOS dump, supplied as a TXT file named "read me first.txt". The facts do not name a brand, model, board number or revision, so the board this dump belongs to cannot be confirmed from this page. Before doing anything with it, open the file and check its contents against the board you are working on. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or a failed update. Save the original chip contents first, and confirm that the board number and revision match yours before flashing.

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: read me first. 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.
