Verified BIOS image, marked OK, for the Dell Inspiron 5537 on the Compal LA-9981P mainboard, packed as a 3.40 MB zip containing a bin file. It is meant for writing directly to the SPI flash with a programmer when the laptop fails to post or shows a corrupted BIOS. Compal prints its LA-xxxxP numbers on the PCB, so check it and the revision. Read and keep the original chip contents first, and confirm that the dump size matches the flash chip capacity before writing.
