Description

The facts here are thin: this is a BIOS dump packed as a RAR archive, original file name VGA_xfx7870bak.rar. The name suggests a video card BIOS backup for an XFX 7870 graphics card, but no board number, revision, chip size or platform is given, so the match to a specific card should be checked by the technician. A BIOS dump of this kind is used to reprogram the 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: VGA xfx7870bak. 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.
