Acer Aspire E5-511 LA-B981P is a laptop motherboard designed by Compal and used in the Acer Aspire E5-511 and Acer Aspire 15.

The catalog has 1 schematic, 1 boardview file and 3 BIOS files for it, posted between 2017 and 2024 across 3 Telegram channels. Each download button opens the original Telegram post.

File names mention 2 board revisions (Rev 0.1 and Rev 1.0). Check the revision printed on your PCB before relying on a boardview or flashing a BIOS dump — How to Open .FZ Boardview Files explains why it matters.

The boardview comes in .BDV format. OpenBoardView (free) usually opens these files; FlexBV works too. See OpenBoardView: Installation and First Steps.

With both a schematic and a boardview you can find a net on the diagram and then locate the same part on the board by its reference designator. No Boardview for Your Board? How to Work Without One shows the workflow.

BIOS notes: file names mention 8 MB chip sizes; some archives also hold EC/KBC firmware. Read and save the original chip contents before you write anything to it — Keeping the Windows Product Key (MSDM) When Reflashing a BIOS.

Also listed under platform A5WAM.

Read the original chip with a programmer and save two copies before writing anything. File names for this board mention 8 MB images; the dump size must match your chip.

A dump from another board carries that board's serial number and MAC address, so restore yours from the backup.
