MACBOOK PRO A1286 MLB 820-2850-A OK CLEAR ME

BIOS .zip 2.02 MB Shared

Firmware image for the Apple MacBook Pro A1286 logic board 820-2850-A, supplied as a 2.02 MB ZIP. The name says the dump is confirmed working and has a cleaned ME region, which helps when a corrupted boot ROM leaves the machine without chime or video. Apple uses the 820-xxxx pattern for its own logic board numbers, with the letter suffix as revision. Verify the number silkscreened on the board, dump the existing SPI chip as a backup, and make sure the image size matches the flash part before programming.
