GPL51 LA-J498P REV 1.0 16MB

BIOS .rar 6.92 MB Shared

BIOS archive for Compal board LA-J498P, revision 1.0, with GPL51 as the platform code. The name states a 16MB image, which corresponds to a 128 Mbit SPI flash chip. Compal laptop boards follow the LA-xxxxP numbering printed on the PCB, and several brands use them. Write the image with a hardware programmer to recover a board left dead by a failed update. Back up the original chip before flashing, because it may hold serial or ME data, and make sure the revision and chip capacity match.
