Compaq CQ41-208TU i3

BIOS .bin 4.00 MB Shared

Alternative copy of a BIOS dump for the HP Compaq CQ41-208TU Core i3 laptop, marked as a second version in the file name and sized at 4.00 MB. It may be a separate read from another board or a slightly different firmware state, so comparing it to the first copy in a hex editor is worthwhile. Use it to reprogram the 32 Mbit SPI flash with a programmer such as a CH341A. Save the board's original contents beforehand and confirm the PCB number matches before relying on either image.

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 @bios_laptop. Enginerys does not host this file.
