BIOS .bin 2.00 MB Shared

A 2 MB raw SPI flash dump read from a Winbond W25Q16 chip, with the file name holding only the chip model and a read timestamp from September 2018. No laptop model, board number or firmware version is given, so the source device is unknown. Such auto-named files are typical of programmer software saving a chip read. The 2 MB size matches the 16 Mbit capacity of a W25Q16, so it fits that chip exactly. Open it in a hex editor and look for vendor or BIOS strings to identify the board before flashing, and keep a backup of the original chip contents.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosfilebins. Enginerys does not host this file.
