BIOS for the Acer Aspire E5-521-265V on the Compal LA-B232P V1.0 board, supplied as a 2.74 MB RAR. LA-prefixed numbers are Compal designs, and the V1.0 revision should be checked against the PCB marking. A dump like this is used to recover a board with corrupted firmware that powers on with no image, by writing it straight to the SPI flash with a programmer. Read and save the original chip contents first, and make sure the file 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.
