Description
This is a BIOS dump in ZIP format, about 3.2 MB, with the original file name X553MA.zip. The facts do not name the brand, board number or revision, so confirm those against your own board before using it. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Back up the original chip contents first, and make sure the model and board revision match your machine before writing anything to the chip.

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: X553MA. 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.
