Description

From the original post:
APW50 LA-C381P (REV 1A) BIOS & EC

BIOS dump for the Compal LA-C381P laptop motherboard, platform APW50, PCB revision 1A. The package also includes the EC/KBC firmware, so both the BIOS and embedded controller images are supplied together. 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 on your board match before writing anything, and back up the original chip contents first. The archive is a ZIP file of about 13.4 MB.

The catalog also lists 2 boardview files and 13 BIOS dumps for board LA-C381P.

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.
