HP ZBook 15 G3 LA-C381P is a laptop motherboard designed by Compal and used in the HP ZBook 15 G3 and HP ZBook 17 G3.

The catalog has 2 boardview files and 13 BIOS files for it, posted between 2020 and 2025 across 2 Telegram channels. Each download button opens the original Telegram post.

File names mention 4 board revisions (Rev 0.4, Rev 1.0, Rev 1A and Rev 1B). 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 .CAD and .BDV format. .CAD files usually need FlexBV or the viewer they were exported for; OpenBoardView handles .BRD, .BDV and .FZ. See How to Open .PCB and .CAD Boardview Files.

BIOS notes: file names mention 1 MB, 8 MB and 16 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 APW50.

Frequently asked questions

Which laptops use the LA-C381P motherboard?
File names in the catalog tie LA-C381P to the HP ZBook 15 G3 and HP ZBook 17 G3. Laptops sold under one model name can use different boards, so confirm by the code printed on the motherboard.
Which revision of LA-C381P do I have?
Files for this board mention Rev 0.4, Rev 1.0, Rev 1A and Rev 1B. The revision is printed on the PCB silkscreen, usually next to the board code. Pick files with the same revision when you can; if yours is not listed, the closest revision is usually fine for the schematic but check part positions in the boardview carefully.
How do I open the LA-C381P boardview file?
The boardview for LA-C381P is available as .CAD and .BDV. .BDV usually opens in OpenBoardView (free) or FlexBV. .CAD usually needs FlexBV or the matching viewer. See What Is a Boardview File and Why You Need One.
What should I check before flashing the LA-C381P BIOS?
Read the original chip with a programmer and save two copies before writing anything. File names for this board mention 1 MB, 8 MB and 16 MB images; the dump size must match your chip. Some archives include EC/KBC firmware, which may need to be written to a separate chip. A dump from another board carries that board's serial number and MAC address, so restore yours from the backup.
