    [NOT A RESCUE BIOS] Dell Latitude E6530 Rare Factory BIOS (Revision A86)

    ⚠️ Not a Rescue BIOS. Flash at Your Own Risk. ⚠️

    This is not A17.

    This is not listed on Dell's support site.

    This is an unreleased internal firmware revision recovered from a university loaner Latitude E6530... and it possibly bricked the system it came from.

    It is from the 8 MB Winbond W25Q64 chip. Could be nothing burger but given the anomalies this is a very interesting firmware dump.

    Firmware collectors and reverse engineers might find this useful, It contains certs, modules, and DXE drivers not present in A17. This is likely a factory or QA BIOS image used during Dell provisioning.

    Note: Posting this here and not in BIOS Requests. Because this is not meant to be fixed.... It is not meant to be a fix. It is simply for documentation, experimentation, and archival.

      if it's from an educational place it may contain some evil spyware/telemetry stuff.

          🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
          by macabook
          Hello everyone,

          I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
          🧩 Initial Issue
          • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
          • External display (HDMI) shows
          ...

          [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
          by cr4zychriss
          Hello everyone,
          I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
          I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details
          • Barebone / Chassis: TongFang GK7MRFR
          • MB: MB: GK5MP5X V1.0 Prod :GK5MRFV10T04201310281

          Latitude E6530 - Trouble Extracting BIOS Image From EXE
          by grimacelord
          Hi folks,

          I'm having a hard time extracting this Dell BIOS. I have a Dell Latitude E6530 that has BIOS corruption and I need to reflash with CH341A programmer. I have already taken dumps of both the 4MB and 8MB chips on the motherboard.

          Service tag number for this model is: "JYDWYW1".
          Link to latest BIOS for this Service Tag: https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER05371360M/1/E6530A22.exe

          I have tried:
          • Simply extracting with 7zip
          • PFSExtractor
          • Using "/writeromfile, /writehdrfile, and /writehexfile" commands
          • Check Temp folder
          ...

          ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
          by pirati
          Hello everyone,

          I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

          When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

          I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...
