BIOS .bin 8.00 MB Shared

BIOS image for a Dell 2520 laptop on the DV15 MLK mainboard, Wistron board number 11280-1. The dump is a raw 8 MB binary, sized for an 8 MB (64 Mbit) SPI flash chip, and is meant to be written with an external programmer when the machine will not POST or the BIOS is corrupted. The five-digit number with a dash revision is the typical Wistron pattern, so check that 11280-1 is printed on the PCB. Back up the original chip first, since it carries the service tag and other system data.
