Frequently asked questions

Which laptops use the DANL8MB18B0 motherboard?
File names in the catalog tie DANL8MB18B0 to the Monster Abra A5. Laptops sold under one model name can use different boards, so confirm by the code printed on the motherboard.
Which revision of DANL8MB18B0 do I have?
Files for this board mention Rev 1.1, Rev B and Rev D. The revision is printed on the PCB silkscreen, usually next to the board code. Pick files with the same revision when you can; if yours is not listed, the closest revision is usually fine for the schematic but check part positions in the boardview carefully.
What should I check before flashing the DANL8MB18B0 BIOS?
Read the original chip with a programmer and save two copies before writing anything. File names for this board mention 1 MB and 8 MB images; the dump size must match your chip.

A dump from another board carries that board's serial number and MAC address, so restore yours from the backup.
