Firmware package for the Dell Inspiron 3521 on Compal mainboard LA-9104P, delivered as a 3.27 MB RAR archive. Compal is the ODM, as the LA-xxxxP number shows. The contained BIOS image is used to reprogram the SPI flash on boards that fail to start or were bricked by an interrupted update, typically with a CH341A or similar tool. Before writing, verify the LA number printed on the board, save the current chip contents, and make sure the image size fits the installed flash chip.
