BIOS firmware archive for the ASUS K45VJ notebook built on the Compal LA-8221P mainboard, with QCL40 noted in the name as the Compal project code. The ZIP, about 4 MB, should hold a dump intended for the SPI flash on this board. LA-xxxxP numbers follow Compal's ODM pattern, so check that the PCB silkscreen reads LA-8221P before using it. Unpack the image and read the original chip with a programmer such as a CH341A first. Keep that backup, then write and verify the new image to recover a dead or corrupted BIOS.
