IMACK 820-2542-A 4MB BIOS

BIOS .rar 1.29 MB Shared

Firmware for an Apple iMac logic board 820-2542, revision A in the name, provided as a 4MB BIOS image inside a 1.29 MB RAR. Apple marks its logic boards with 820- part numbers, and this boot ROM is written to the SPI flash when a Mac shows no chime or will not start. Use a programmer that supports the fitted chip, save the original contents first since they hold serial data, and confirm the 820 number on the board matches.
