BIOS firmware package for the ASUS X401A laptop, with the name pointing to mainboard revision 3.0. The ZIP archive weighs 3.45 MB and most likely holds a dump intended for the SPI flash chip on the board. Technicians use such an image to recover a unit that powers on with no display or loops after a failed update, writing it with a hardware programmer such as a CH341A. Before flashing, confirm the revision silkscreened on the PCB, read and save the original chip contents, and check that the image size equals the chip capacity.
