Description

BIOS dump for a laptop built on the Compal LA-A996P board (platform ZSO51), supplied for a 4 MB SPI flash chip. The archive is a RAR file of about 2.4 MB, and its original name points to a Winbond 25Q32FVS1G chip in an SOIC-8 package. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm that your board number and revision match LA-A996P, and back up the original chip contents so you can restore them if needed.

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: ZSO51 LA-A996P. 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.
