BIOS firmware for a laptop using the DA240 board project, Compal motherboard LA-F322P revision 1.0, delivered as an 8.09 MB RAR archive. The LA-xxxxP format is the standard Compal board numbering, so Compal is the board manufacturer regardless of the brand on the lid. A dump like this is used to recover a bricked machine by reprogramming the SPI BIOS chip with a programmer clip or after desoldering. Match the LA number and revision on the PCB, back up the existing chip, and make sure the image size equals the flash capacity.
