Description

This BIOS dump is supplied in ZIP format at about 2.1 MB and is marked as revision 3.0, based on the original file name "X540YA rev 3.0 .zip". The facts give no brand or board number, so the X540YA name is the only model reference, and it should be checked against the board in your hands. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm that the board and revision match and save a backup of the original chip contents.

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: X540YA rev 3.0. 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.
