MS-16GA1

BIOS .zip 2.73 MB Shared

Firmware for an MSI notebook mainboard MS-16GA1, compressed as a 2.73 MB ZIP. MSI marks its own laptop boards with the MS-xxxxx pattern, where the number identifies the platform independent of the retail model name. The archive is used for recovering a board with corrupted BIOS by reading and rewriting the SPI flash chip through a programmer. The name does not state revision or version, so check the PCB marking, create a full backup of the original chip first, and confirm the image size matches the chip capacity.
