BIOS archive for the Dell Alienware m15 R5 built on Compal board LA-K453P revision 1.0, packed as a 9.66 MB RAR. Compal uses the LA-XXXXP numbering for the boards it makes for Dell, so check the label on the PCB before flashing. The image is meant for reprogramming the SPI BIOS chip with an external programmer when the laptop fails to POST or hangs after a failed update. Save the original chip content first, since it holds the service tag and unit-specific data, and confirm the size fits the chip.
