BIOS .bin 1.00 MB Shared

BIOS image for the Acer Aspire 4730 laptop, supplied as a 1.00 MB binary. The name adds the tokens ibm and gl40; GL40 most likely refers to the Intel GL40 chipset variant of the board, while the meaning of ibm is not stated. Technicians write a dump like this to the SPI flash with a hardware programmer such as a CH341A when the machine powers on with no display or the firmware is corrupted. Read and save the original chip contents first, and confirm the chip capacity is 8 Mbit so the image fits exactly.
