BIOS firmware archive for the Acer Aspire 4736 laptop built on the Compal LA-4494P motherboard. The name gives no flash chip type, version or ME details, so open the 727 KB RAR and inspect the image before use. LA-xxxxP numbering is Compal's ODM pattern, and the board code printed on the PCB should match LA-4494P. Technicians use such dumps to recover a dead or corrupted board by writing the SPI chip with a programmer such as a CH341A; always read and save the original contents first and confirm the image size equals the chip capacity.
The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.

Compressed archive — the usual wrapper for a schematic + boardview pair or a BIOS + EC set.
Back up your own chip before writing any dump, and match the full board number and revision. Flashing guide →
