Dell inspiron 15 (3531) LA-B461P KB9012

BIOS .rar 2.75 MB Shared

Firmware set for the Dell Inspiron 15 3531 on Compal board LA-B461P, mentioning the KB9012 embedded controller, in a 2.75 MB RAR. The ENE KB9012 holds the keyboard and power management code, so a corrupted EC can cause no power, no charge or dead keyboard faults. It is commonly reflashed with a dedicated EC programmer or adapter. Confirm the board number on the PCB, read and save the existing EC and BIOS contents before writing, and check each image matches its target chip.
