Description

BIOS dump for a Toshiba laptop, file named PORTEGE R500 (2), about 2.0 MB in size. The facts do not give a board number, revision, or flash chip model, so confirm that the model and board match your machine before using it. A BIOS dump like this is typically used with an SPI programmer to reprogram the flash chip after BIOS corruption or a failed update. Before writing anything, read and save the original chip contents as a backup so you can recover if the new image does not behave as expected.
