820-2530-A

BIOS .rar 1.28 MB Shared

Firmware dump for an Apple logic board numbered 820-2530-A, with no model name stated, packed as a 1.28 MB RAR. Apple prints these 820- numbers on the logic board, and the number identifies the exact board family, so check it before use. Such a dump is written to the boot ROM with an SPI programmer to recover a machine with corrupted EFI firmware. Read the existing chip first because it holds serial and configuration data, and confirm the image fits the chip size.
