BIOS .rar 3.81 MB Shared

Firmware dump for the Apple MacBook Air A1465 with logic board 820-00164, archived as RAR at 3.81 MB. Apple uses 820-xxxxx numbers for its logic boards, and the number silkscreened on the PCB must match this image. Technicians write such dumps to the boot ROM SPI chip with a programmer to fix boards that do not chime, loop on boot or are firmware locked. Keep a copy of the original chip contents, since it holds serial and system identifiers, and confirm the dump size fits the installed flash chip.
