BIOS image for the Compal LA-A993P board, platform ZS040, specifically noted for the HP 240 G3 with an Intel processor. Compal uses the LA-xxxxP pattern, and this board appears in budget HP notebooks. The 3.95 MB rar contains the dump for the system flash, used to fix a laptop that powers on without display or has a damaged firmware region. Check the PCB revision and that your unit is the Intel version, read and save the original chip, and verify after programming with your SPI tool.
