Description
BMWC1 BMWC2 NM-A471 REV 2.0 2015-07-10 BIOS & KBEC IT8886HE BIOS dump for the Compal NM-A471 laptop board, revision 2.0, built on the BMWC2 platform. The archive also includes the EC/KBC firmware, which the file name identifies as an IT8886HE keyboard controller. 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 NM-A471 and revision 2.0 match your motherboard before flashing, and save the original chip contents first so you can recover if the write goes wrong.
For board NM-A471 the catalog also has 3 schematics and 13 BIOS dumps.

Will this BIOS work on my board?
