LENOVO CIH55C V1.0 8MB BIOS

BIOS .rar 2.86 MB Shared

BIOS image for a Lenovo desktop board marked CIH55C version 1.0, sized for an 8 MB flash chip, packed in a 2.86 MB RAR archive. CIH55C indicates an Intel H55-based board. A technician writes such a dump to the SPI chip with a programmer like CH341A when the original firmware is corrupted. Read and keep a backup of the existing chip first, confirm the board version printed on the PCB, and check that the chip on the board really is 8 MB, since a mismatched image will not fit.
