Description

BIOS dump for a Compal laptop board LA-9101P, platform VAW01, revision 1.0, supplied for both 4 MB and 2 MB flash chips and including EC/KBC firmware. The uploader marked it as tested, though that is their claim and not something we have checked. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your board before flashing, and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if needed.

The catalog also lists 2 schematics and 5 BIOS dumps for board LA-9101P.

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: VAW01 LA-9101P. 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.
