Description

BIOS dump for an unnamed laptop model, revision 2.2, supplied as a RAR archive of about 3.6 MB under the original file name x551ca rev 2.2.rar. The file name suggests an ASUS X551CA, but the brand and model are not confirmed in the listing data, so check the board markings before use. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your machine, and save a backup of the original chip contents before writing anything.

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: x551ca rev 2.2. 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.
