Description

From the original post:
VIUU3 NM-A074 REV 1.0 2013-8-2 ME REGION 8mb WORKING BIOS 100%

BIOS dump for a Compal laptop board NM-A074, revision 1.0, platform VIUU3, supplied for an 8 MB flash chip with the Intel ME region cleaned. The uploader marked it as tested, though that is their own claim and not verified here. A technician would use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your board, and back up the original chip contents before writing anything.

For board NM-A074 the catalog also has 3 schematics, 1 boardview file, and 6 BIOS dumps.

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: VIUU3 NM-A074. 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.
