MACBOOK PRO A1278 820-2936-B

BIOS .rar 3.88 MB Shared

Firmware archive for the MacBook Pro A1278 with Apple logic board 820-2936 revision B, stored as a 3.88 MB RAR. Apple's 820 numbering identifies the logic board, and the revision letter should match the board being repaired. This kind of image is used to rewrite the SPI boot ROM when corrupted firmware prevents the machine from starting. Keep a copy of the original ROM before flashing, because it carries machine-specific information such as the serial number, and confirm the dump size equals the flash chip capacity.
