Description

From the original post:
LENOVO_E430_E430C_LA-8131P_N13M-GE1-B-A1_4VRAM_one_U5_NEW_OK

BIOS dump for the Lenovo E430 laptop, board number LA-8131P from Compal, supplied as a RAR archive of about 3.5 MB. The original file name references E430 and E430C variants and the N13M-GE1-B-A1 graphics designation, but the facts do not confirm chip size, revision or whether the Intel ME region is cleaned, so check these yourself. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update.

For board LA-8131P the catalog also has 2 schematics and 8 BIOS dumps.
