ACER E1 422 E1 522 EA40 KB 12247

BIOS .rar 1.95 MB Shared

BIOS package for the Acer Aspire E1-422 and E1-522 notebooks on the EA40-KB board, with 12247 indicating the matching main board number. Five-digit codes of this type are typical of Wistron-designed Acer boards. Packed as a 1.95 MB rar, it serves for rewriting the SPI flash with a programmer when the laptop will not post or the BIOS is corrupted. Since two models share the file, confirm the board marking, save a backup of the original chip, and make sure the image fits the chip size.

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.
