acer 725 (LA-485)

BIOS .bin 1.00 MB Shared

Acer 725 BIOS dump tagged LA-485, apparently a shortened Compal-style board number, though the full code is not given. The file is a 1.00 MB binary, sized for an 8 Mbit SPI flash chip. Such dumps are used to restore a corrupted BIOS by writing the chip with a programmer such as a CH341A or RT809. Because the board reference is incomplete, compare the full LA number on the PCB before relying on it, verify the chip capacity, and back up the original contents first.
