BIOS .rar 2.13 MB Shared

BIOS firmware for the Samsung NP355E5C and NP355E5X notebooks on Compal board LA-8868P, with the board codes VBLE4 and VBLE5 listed in the name. Compal numbers its boards as LA plus four digits and a letter, and the project codes help confirm the exact version. Use the image to reflash the SPI chip with a programmer when the machine fails to start. Match the board label, keep a backup of the original chip, and check that the dump size fits the installed flash part.
