BIOS .bin 8.00 MB Shared

A BIOS binary for the Dell Inspiron 3493, with no version, board number or cleaning status stated in the name. It is an 8 MB image, which corresponds to a 64 Mbit SPI flash chip. Technicians program a dump like this onto the chip with a CH341A or a comparable tool when the laptop is dead, loops on power-up, or fails after an update. Read the factory chip and keep that copy before writing. Check that the board's flash really is 8 MB so the image fits correctly.
