dv5ci

BIOS .bin 1.00 MB Shared

Binary firmware dump of 1.00 MB named dv5ci, apparently for a dv5-series laptop; the ci suffix is not explained and no board number or revision is given. The file fits an 8 Mbit SPI flash chip. Technicians program such images with a hardware programmer to restore corrupted BIOS firmware. Before writing, dump the existing chip and keep the backup, check that chip capacity equals 1 MB, and compare the board number printed on the PCB with the source machine to avoid an incompatible flash.

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.
