CQ56AMD

BIOS .bin 2.00 MB Shared

Duplicate copy of the CQ56AMD BIOS dump, a 2.00 MB binary for what the name suggests is an AMD-platform Compaq CQ56 laptop. Two reads of the same chip are often kept so they can be compared with a hex tool to rule out a bad read before programming. Use it with an SPI programmer to restore a board that will not post, but save the existing chip contents first and confirm the motherboard version matches, since the name carries no board number, revision or firmware version to verify against.

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 @biosfilebins. Enginerys does not host this file.
