Description

BIOS dump, revision 2.0, packaged as a RAR archive of about 3.5 MB. The original file name, VA70HW MAIN_BD GDDR5 Rev 2.0 BIOS & EC.rar, indicates a main board image for the VA70HW platform, with the BIOS and EC firmware included together. The archive also carries embedded EC/KBC firmware, which is useful when the keyboard controller needs reflashing alongside the BIOS. A technician would use a dump like this to reprogram the 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: VA70HW MAIN BD GDDR5 Rev 2.0 & EC. 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.
