Description

BIOS dump stored as a BIN file, sized for a 16 MB flash chip. The facts do not name a brand, model or board number, so confirm the source board before using it. The original file name, u68 bkp.BIN, suggests a backup taken from a chip labeled U68, though that label is not verified here. A technician uses a BIOS dump like this to reprogram an SPI flash chip with a programmer after 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: u68 bkp. 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.
