BIOS .bin 8.00 MB Shared

Firmware image for the Apple A1707 MacBook Pro, EMC 3162, logic board 820-00281, in an 8 MB binary marked outimage, usually meaning a complete chip dump ready to program. Apple 820- numbers identify the logic board and should be checked on the PCB. Technicians use this to recover boards stuck without boot after firmware damage, writing the SPI chip with a programmer. Read and archive the original contents beforehand, because machine-specific data such as serial number and Wi-Fi identifiers live in that chip.
