BIOS .rom 2.00 MB Shared

BIOS for the Gateway NV53 AMD platform, version V1.04, a 2 MB ROM; Gateway belongs to Acer. The AMD tag matters because the NV53 was offered with different processor platforms, and firmware for one will not run on the other. A 2 MB image matches a 16 Mbit SPI chip and can be programmed directly to revive a laptop with corrupt firmware. Verify the motherboard number on your PCB, read and keep the original chip, and double-check the chip size before writing.
