Description

From the original post:
AAPA0 LA-C541P REV 1.0(A00) 2016-01-21 CLEAR ME TESTED OK

BIOS dump for the Compal LA-C541P laptop board, revision 1.0, platform AAPA0. The archive is a RAR file of about 8.3 MB, with the Intel ME region cleaned and the uploader's note that it was tested. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your own board before flashing, and back up the original chip contents first, since the tested mark comes from the uploader and is not verified here.

The catalog also lists 2 schematics, 2 boardview files, and 5 BIOS dumps for board LA-C541P.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: AAPA0 LA-C541P. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
