BIOS HP DV4-1220US PCB LA-4111P REV1.0

BIOS .rar 816 KB Shared

BIOS dump from an HP Pavilion dv4-1220us laptop built on Compal motherboard LA-4111P, revision 1.0, in an 816 KB RAR. LA-xxxxP is the Compal numbering format, and this board also turns up in Compaq CQ40 AMD machines. Technicians write such an image to the SPI chip with a programmer when the unit powers on without display due to bad firmware. Check that the PCB reads LA-4111P rev 1.0, keep a backup of the original chip, and verify the size before writing.
