ASUS Z96F-UNLOCKED

BIOS .rar 670 KB Shared

BIOS for the ASUS Z96F laptop marked unlocked, distributed as a 670 KB RAR archive. The name does not explain the unlocking, so look inside for a readme or check the image before programming. A dump of this type is written to the board's SPI flash with a programmer to revive a unit stuck on a black screen after a failed update or to clear a lock. Read the original chip and keep that copy safe before writing, and check that the file size equals the flash chip capacity, otherwise it will not fit.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @IT_SERVICE_WORLD. Enginerys does not host this file.
