Description
BIOS dump, revision 3.1, packed as a 7Z archive of about 3.5 MB. The original file name, X556UV Rev3.1 CelanME.7z, points to an ASUS X556UV build, but the facts do not give a board number or chip size, so confirm the model against your laptop before using it. The name also indicates a cleaned Intel ME region, which some technicians look for when recovering a flash. A BIOS dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption 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: X556UV Rev3.1 CelanME. 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.
