Firmware archive for the Inventec motherboard 6050A2493101-MB-A02, labelled for the CQ45, HP 1000 and HP 450 models, stored as a 3.18 MB RAR. HP used this Inventec board design under several model names, so the board number on the PCB is a more reliable match than the model sticker. The image is meant for direct SPI flashing with a hardware programmer when a machine will not boot, shows no display or has a corrupted BIOS. Before writing, read and save the original chip, check the A02 revision, and ensure the image size fits the flash.
