BIOS archive for the Compaq CQ58-100SX notebook, an HP model, packed as a 3.04 MB RAR file. The name gives no motherboard number, revision or firmware version, so look inside the archive and compare it with the board you are repairing. Technicians use such dumps to recover an SPI flash chip after a failed update or corruption, writing it with an external programmer. Read and save the original chip first, confirm the board matches, and check that the image size equals the capacity of the installed chip.

Compressed archive — the usual wrapper for a schematic + boardview pair or a BIOS + EC set.
Back up your own chip before writing any dump, and match the full board number and revision. Flashing guide →
