Description
BIOS dump for a laptop built on Compal board LA-8221P, platform QCL40, PCB revision 1.0. The uploader marks it as tested and says it includes EC/KBC firmware, so the EC image is part of the same archive. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision match your board, and back up the original chip contents first. The "tested" note comes from the uploader and has not been independently checked.
For board LA-8221P the catalog also has 2 schematics and 6 BIOS dumps.

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: QCL40 LA-8221P. 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.
