What do you do with a downloaded BIOS dump?

[brew99]

As an example, I want to flash a BIOS dump that was obtained here, or elsewhere, onto a mobo to see if it fixes an issue. Do you guys normally go through the process of clearing the ME region before flashing, or just flash it straight away? Or do you go a step further, and update the bump with the correct DMI info on the board you are working on, then ME clean and finally flash?

I imagine that a straight flash would atleast give you the idea if it fixes the issue, but then you would normally need to insure all the DMI info is correct and clear the ME region also before giving back to customer/friend, etc.

What is your normal process?

flashing straight away to see if it changes something, or repair the failure

after that u can clenning, injecting product keys ordo other stuff that needs to be done to work normally.
