    Hi,

    I have a clevo p170em which have the bios completely corrupted after trying to upgrade the firmware, the other problem is I lost the HD were I had the backup so I'm looking for a dump bios to re-program the bios chip, I found two in this forum, 3 in fact but one is 4mb and the other 2 are 2mb which technically should work, but analyzing them with ME Analyzer the output is with and error: Detected incomplete firmware size 0.2§00000, expected 0x600000 so not sure is this is correct and if I will flash this to the bios will work, someone have any idea what will be the best procedure to flash the bios?

    Thanks

    I don't have a backup, I lost it due a hard drive failure, I'm looking for a dump to flash that's my problem.

    This ones are the one I tried to use, one is 2mb and as you can see in the first screenshot is detected as incomplete and the other one is 4mb which doesn't fit in the chip
