BIOS dump for a laptop built on the Compal LA-C381P board, platform APW50, PCB revision 1.0. The archive is supplied for both 16 MB and 8 MB flash chips and is marked as tested by the uploader, though that claim is not independently verified here. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision match your board and back up the original chip contents.

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: APW50 LA-C381P. 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.
