Firmware archive for ASUS A45A, K45VM and K45A laptops built on the Compal LA-8221P board, 3.72 MB in RAR format. Compal uses the LA-xxxxP numbering on boards it designs for ASUS and other brands. Such BIOS dumps are flashed to the SPI chip with a programmer to fix boot failures or a corrupted firmware region. The models listed can differ in graphics options, so confirm LA-8221P on the PCB, back up the original chip, and check that the file size fits the flash.
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.
