BIOS dump for the ASUS X45U, board revision 2.1, AMD platform, packed in a 2.08 MB RAR. It is aimed at technicians who need to reflash the SPI BIOS chip with a programmer when the laptop powers on without display or after a failed update. ASUS normally prints the model and revision on the mainboard silkscreen, so compare that marking with 2.1 before use. Keep a backup of the original contents, and check that the extracted image size matches the capacity of the installed flash chip.
