Description

The file is a BIOS dump for a desktop motherboard, PCB revision 2.1, packed as a RAR archive of about 5.5 MB. The original file name is "x541 X541nc REV 2.1 .rar", which suggests an ASUS X541-series board, but the brand and exact model are not confirmed in the file data, so check the board markings before use. The uploader marked it as tested, which is their own claim and not a verification. A BIOS dump like this is used 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: x541 X541nc REV 2.1. 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.
