Firmware archive for the HP-associated Compal motherboard LA-A996P, revision 4.0, packed as a 2.91 MB RAR. The name lists no laptop model or chip details, so open the archive to see whether it holds a full BIOS image, an EC file or several parts. Compal LA numbers identify the board design, which may be shared across several HP notebook models. Before programming, confirm the LA code and revision on the PCB, read and save the existing flash contents, and check that the image size corresponds to the chip fitted on your board.
