Tested BIOS for the ASUS X542BP laptop motherboard, revision 2.0, stored in a 5.02 MB rar archive. A dump like this is used to recover a notebook stuck with no display, boot loops or a corrupted firmware region by reprogramming the SPI flash chip with an external programmer and clip. Verify that the mainboard is marked revision 2.0, read out and archive the original chip contents first, and compare the image size to the chip capacity, since a mismatched file will not fit or will not boot correctly.
