Lenovo BIOS backup for a board marked MTQ45NK, packed as a 2.08 MB RAR. The name indicates the dump was read from a working unit, which makes it useful for recovering a board with corrupted firmware. It is written to the SPI flash chip with an external programmer. Board identifiers should be compared with the PCB before flashing, and the image size checked against the chip capacity. Read and keep your own chip contents first, since serial and system data from the donor machine will be copied over.
