BIOS .rar 5.51 MB Shared

BIOS for the HP 242 G2 laptop on mainboard 6050A2593401-MB-A02, where A02 indicates the board revision. The 6050Axxxxxxx numbering is used by Inventec for boards it builds for HP and others. The 5.51 MB RAR holds the firmware for reprogramming the SPI flash when the notebook fails to post. Match the full number and revision on the PCB, keep a backup read of the current chip, and confirm the image size matches the flash capacity before using your programmer.
