Firmware dump for the HP Compaq 2230s laptop (spelled CPMPAQ in the name), packed in a small 1.11 MB RAR archive. The name lists no motherboard number, revision or flash chip, so check the archive contents and the chip on your board before writing anything. A dump of this size usually suits a small SPI flash, which is common on older notebooks of that era. Read the original chip first and keep that backup, then confirm the image size matches the chip capacity exactly, or the programmer will reject or misplace the data.
