BIOS .bin 8.00 MB Shared

EFI firmware image for an Apple MacBook Pro A1278, and the name mentions the HM65 chipset, which places it on a Sandy Bridge era board. The wd in the name is not explained. At 8 MB it matches a full SPI flash dump suitable for writing with an external programmer. Technicians use it when a MacBook will not chime or boot due to corrupted firmware. Check the logic board 820 number, back up the original chip, and restore the machine serial and related data if needed.
