Description

The file is supplied as a RAR archive of about 5.4 MB and is named for two flash chip positions, U113 and U49, so check which one matches your board before writing. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision on your motherboard match the file, and back up the original chip contents before flashing anything.

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: VILT2 NM-A131. 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.
