BIOS .rar 3.48 MB Shared

BIOS image for the Dell Inspiron 5537 on the Compal board LA-9982P, with VBW01 the Compal project code for the platform. The 3.48 MB RAR archive is for reprogramming the SPI flash with an external programmer to fix no-boot, black-screen or bricked-update cases. LA-numbered boards are Compal designs used widely by Dell. Check the board label against the file first, back up the original contents, and make sure the size of the extracted image matches the capacity of the chip on the board.
