Modified BIOS for the ASUS X451CA, board revision 2.1, prepared to disable the soldered onboard RAM. Such images are used when a memory chip on the motherboard fails, letting the laptop boot from the SO-DIMM slot alone instead of replacing BGA memory. The file is written to the SPI flash with a programmer, after which a working module must be fitted in the slot. Check that the board revision on the PCB is 2.1 and keep a full backup of the original chip in case the mod needs reverting.
