BIOS archive for the Dell Latitude E6540 on Compal board VALA1, number LA-9412P, marked ok in the name, which suggests the image was tested as working. Compal numbers its boards with LA-xxxxP codes that should match the label on the PCB. Extract the RAR and program the BIOS chip with an SPI programmer to recover a board stuck on no display or a corrupted update. Check the file size against the chip capacity and save the original read before writing.
