EC and BIOS firmware for the Acer 4230 on the Compal LA-4221P board, revision 1.0, in an 815 KB RAR archive. The name refers to chip location U17 and carries an IBM tag, most likely naming the flash or controller variant used on that position. Technicians use such files to recover a dead board or a corrupted keyboard controller by reprogramming the chip directly. Compal's LA-xxxxP numbering identifies the mainboard design, so match both the number and the revision on the PCB. Save a dump of the original chip before writing anything.
