BIOS and EC firmware package for the Dell Alienware M14X, built on the Compal QBLB0 platform with motherboard LA-8381P. The RAR archive should hold both the main system BIOS image and the embedded controller firmware, which matters because a corrupted EC can cause no-power or charging faults even when the BIOS is fine. LA-xxxxP is Compal's board numbering pattern. Before flashing with an SPI programmer, read and save the original chip contents, confirm the PCB print reads LA-8381P, and check that each image size matches its target chip.
