Frequently asked questions

Which laptops use the LA-8131P motherboard?
File names in the catalog tie LA-8131P to the Lenovo E430, Lenovo E430C, Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E430 and Lenovo ThinkPad E530. Laptops sold under one model name can use different boards, so confirm by the code printed on the motherboard.
Which revision of LA-8131P do I have?
Files for this board mention Rev 1.0. 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.
What should I check before flashing the LA-8131P BIOS?
Read the original chip with a programmer and save two copies before writing anything. File names for this board mention 4 MB and 8 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.
