Description

From the original post:
gPU N14M-GL-S-A2_SLJ8E_IT8517E

The file is a BIOS dump, revision 2.0, delivered as a ZIP archive of about 3.6 MB under the original name "x550cl REV 2.0.zip". The facts do not name the brand, model or board number, so I cannot confirm which machine it belongs to; the original file name suggests an ASUS X550CL, but check that against your own board before use. A BIOS dump is typically 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: x550cl REV 2.0. 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.
