Description

This is a BIOS dump with the Intel ME region cleaned, packed as a RAR archive of about 3 MB, originally named "x550lc clearme ok test.rar". The facts don't name the brand, board number or revision, so the file's exact match to a machine is not confirmed here. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm the model and board number against your own board, and back up the original chip contents first.

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: x550lc clearme test. 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.
