Tested 16 MB BIOS dump for the CDP80 LA-E152P REV1.0 motherboard, a Compal design used in Dell laptops. The RAR archive is 8.35 MB compressed, and the image inside should be exactly 16 MB, matching a 128 Mbit SPI flash chip. Repairers program it with a CH341A, RT809 or similar tool to recover boards that are bricked or stuck before POST. Save the original chip contents before erasing, since they hold serial and service data. Confirm the board number and revision on the PCB.

Compressed archive — the usual wrapper for a schematic + boardview pair or a BIOS + EC set.
Back up your own chip before writing any dump, and match the full board number and revision. Flashing guide →
