So had a Alienware 17 R3 come in, would briefly turn keyboard back-light on then off, rarly it would turn on to a black screen and beep 7 times. Trying to use the hold esc and ctrl, plug in, power on recovery wouldn't do anything. Opend found 4 rom chips 3 1m and 1 16m chips.
uh4 had the bios and uefi stuff on it. grabed the bios from dell and extracted it using Alienware_15R2_17R3_1.2.8.EXE /writehdr. Using UEFITool, extracted the uefi image as is from the .hdr file it made and opend my dump, to replace the bios region as is. After re uploading it seams to boot agen. Beeped 5 times but after powering down and back up whent away aprintly its to hard to make a cmos battery error text screen beter to make the system beep and have no screen thanks dell.

So found out it wouldn't boot internal drive but a usb cdrom with Super Grub Disk would let me still load an os.
Downgrading bios to 1.2.8 and loaded each update to 1.6.1 seams to have cleared that problem.
Bios would take forever to load / get to boot, disabling tpm fixed this.
System would also not shut-down would just go black screen and stay on forever.
System would beep 2 short beeps randomly on reset / power on, would boot normal after bitching about ram changing.
Re-dumped bios and ran me_cleaner, System boots faster, shut-downs properly and no more beeping.
I tryed updating the me but meinfo wouldn't work and the drivers didnt recognise. I now have a reason to hate intel a little more.

@hardware 1
I flashed the bios with the one you posted and the machine turns on fans spins and immediately turn off. When I remove the ram and turn the machine on, the laptop beep 2 for ram failure.
Thanks 🙏
