Description

BIOS dump for the Compal LA-7981P laptop board, supplied as a ZIP archive of about 3.1 MB under the original file name "g580 LA-7981P.zip". Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. The facts do not list a chip size or a revision, so confirm that the board number LA-7981P and the revision printed on your board match before flashing. Read and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if the new image does not behave as expected.

The catalog also lists 5 schematics and 7 BIOS dumps for board LA-7981P.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: LA-7981P. 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.
