Description

A BIOS dump in BIN format, 6.0 MB in size, originally saved as "BIOS Region.bin". The facts do not name a brand, model or board number, so check the file contents and the source post against your own board before flashing anything. A dump like this is used with a programmer to rewrite the SPI flash chip after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Back up the original chip contents first, and confirm that the board number and revision match yours before writing.

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: Region. 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.
