AFS Bios LA-A996P

BIOS .bin 4.00 MB Shared

Firmware image for the Compal-designed laptop board LA-A996P, a numbering pattern that also turns up on notebooks from several big brands. The file is 4 MB, suited to a 32 Mbit SPI flash chip. Technicians use it to fix a no-power or no-display fault caused by corrupted BIOS by writing the chip directly with a programmer. The name gives no revision or version, so verify the board number on the PCB, check the chip size and keep a backup of the original contents.
