BIOS .rar 6.66 MB Shared

BIOS firmware archive for the Apple A1312 iMac logic board 820-2828, revision A, packed as a RAR of about 6.66 MB. It is meant for restoring the boot ROM when the machine shows no chime, a black screen or a corrupted firmware after a failed update. Extract the image and write it to the SPI flash with a programmer such as a CH341A or RT809H. Before writing, read and save the original chip contents, confirm the 820-2828 number silkscreened on the board, and check that the image size equals the chip capacity.
