Firmware archive for an HP Pavilion 14 whose mainboard carries the Compal number LA-A997P, supplied as a 2.98 MB zip. Compal LA- codes identify the board design rather than the retail model, so the same Pavilion name can ship on different boards. The contents are intended for writing to the BIOS flash chip with an external programmer to recover a corrupted or locked firmware. Before writing, compare the LA number on the PCB, back up the existing chip and make sure the dump size matches the chip capacity, or it will not fit.
