BIOS .rar 1.72 MB Shared

Acer Aspire 5741 firmware compressed into a 1.72 MB RAR, the name giving no board number, revision or BIOS version. The 5741 family was built on different motherboards, so identify the board code on the PCB and check it against the contents of the archive. BIOS dumps like this are written to the SPI flash with a programmer to restore a laptop with corrupted firmware. Extract the files, confirm the image size equals the chip capacity, and read the original chip before erasing it.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
