Description

BIOS dump for the Dell E5430 laptop, board LA-7901P, platform QXW00, built by Compal and listed as revision 1.0. The uploader marked it as tested, though that is their claim and not something the catalog has checked.

Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision on your motherboard match, and read out and save the original chip contents as a backup. The archive is a RAR file of about 5.5 MB.
