Description

BIOS dump, revision 2.1, delivered as a ZIP archive of about 5.4 MB, with the original file name X430FA Rev 2.1 X430FN.308.bin.zip. The name points to an ASUS X430 series laptop, but the facts do not list a board number, chip size or other platform details, so confirm the target model before use. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS 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: X430FA Rev 2.1 X430FN.308. 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.
