acer 725 (LA-485)

BIOS .bin 1.00 MB Shared

BIOS binary labelled for the Acer 725, with LA-485 in the name, which looks like a shortened or partial Compal-style board number, so verify the full code on the PCB. The image is 1.00 MB, suiting an 8 Mbit SPI flash chip. Repair technicians program this kind of file into the BIOS chip with a CH341A or similar programmer when the system fails to POST because of corrupted firmware. Always back up the current chip first and make sure the chip capacity matches the image size.
