Description

BIOS dump for the HP ZBook 15 G3 mobile workstation, board LA-C401P (platform APW5U, Compal design), supplied for both 16 MB and 8 MB flash chips in a RAR archive of about 11.6 MB. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision on your laptop match the file, and read and save the original chip contents as a backup. Check the chip size too, since the two versions are for different flash parts.

The catalog also lists 1 schematic and 12 BIOS dumps for board LA-C401P.

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: HP ZBook 15 G3 APW5U LA-C401P. 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.
