BIOS .bin 1.00 MB Shared

Original BIOS dump, marked org, for a machine named CQ40, pointing to the Compaq Presario CQ40 series; no model suffix or board number is given. The 1 MB file matches an 8 Mbit SPI flash chip. Original dumps help recover boards bricked by failed updates, but board variants differ, so check the PCB number and the strings inside the image first. Save your own chip contents before writing with an external programmer, then verify the result.

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 @bios_laptop. Enginerys does not host this file.
