Description

BIOS dump for a laptop built on the Compal LA-7988P board, supplied as a ZIP archive of about 2.7 MB under the original file name G580_LA-7988P_EN25Q32.zip. The file is listed for a 4 MB flash chip, and the EN25Q32 name in the file name points to the chip it was taken from. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your machine before flashing, and save a backup of the original chip contents first.

For board LA-7988P the catalog also has 1 schematic and 9 BIOS dumps.
