BIOS .bin 1.00 MB Shared

Acer Aspire 4740 BIOS dump taken from a Macronix MX25L8005 flash chip. The 1.00 MB size corresponds to the 8 Mbit capacity of that part, so it suits boards carrying that chip. A technician writes this image with an SPI programmer when the laptop will not boot or shows a black screen after a corrupted update. Check the chip marking on your board, since the 4740 may also use larger flash, and save a backup of the original contents before erasing and programming.
