Firmware image for the VITU5 project on Compal board LA-8972P, revision 1.0, intended for a 4 MB flash chip. Packaged in a RAR archive of 3.46 MB, it is meant for recovering a board with corrupted BIOS by writing the SPI chip with an external programmer. LA-xxxxP is the Compal ODM numbering scheme, used across many laptop brands, so verify the code and revision printed on the PCB. Back up the existing chip before erasing, and confirm the chip capacity really is 4 MB, because an image of the wrong size will not fit.

Compressed archive — the usual wrapper for a schematic + boardview pair or a BIOS + EC set.
Back up your own chip before writing any dump, and match the full board number and revision. Flashing guide →
