5741G

BIOS .rar 1.69 MB Shared

Firmware labelled 5741G, probably the Acer Aspire 5741G, in a 1.69 MB RAR. The name gives no board number, revision or BIOS version. Extract it and match the contents against the motherboard code printed on the PCB, since this model line used more than one board. Dumps like this are written to the SPI flash with a programmer to recover from a corrupted BIOS or a no-boot fault. Check that the file size matches the chip capacity, and save the existing contents before erasing.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
