Description

BIOS dump for a board at revision 2.1 with an 8 MB flash chip, supplied as a RAR archive of about 3.5 MB under the original file name X55VD REV 2.1 25Q64FV OK.rar. The file name points to an X55VD board, but no brand or board number is given in the facts, so confirm the model 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. Check that the revision matches your board and back up the original chip contents before writing anything.

Will this BIOS work on my board?
