Description

BIOS dump, revision 3.3, for an 8 MB SPI flash chip, supplied as a RAR archive of about 3.4 MB. The original file name is x555ld REV 3.3 n15v-gm-s-a2_8M.rar, which suggests an ASUS X555 series laptop, though the facts do not name the brand or model outright. A dump like this is used to reprogram the flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm that the board number and revision on your machine match the 3.3 revision, and save a backup of the original chip contents first.
