Working BIOS for the Dell Latitude E5440 on Compal motherboard LA-9832P, with VAW30 listed as the platform code and =8= suggesting an 8 MB flash image, packed in a zip. The working label means it was reported functional on a real board. Use it to recover a bricked or no-POST unit by writing the SPI chip with an external programmer. Confirm the LA-9832P number on the PCB, save a full backup of the original chip, and check the chip capacity so the image matches before programming.
