Description

BIOS dump for a laptop built on the Compal LA-4981P board, supplied for a 2 MB flash chip. The original file name, L500-11V-LA-4981P-KSWAAUMA-MX25L1605AM2C.rar, points to an MX25L1605A chip, which is a detail to confirm against the chip on your own board. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Check that the board number and revision match yours before flashing, and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if needed.

The catalog also lists 1 schematic and 3 BIOS dumps for board LA-4981P.

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: LA-4981P. 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.
