I think there is another way to download that bios, but the bios will not be a full image. So we need your Original Backup and your Device Service Tag.

The extracted exe only contains a 12MB update,not a full bios image.

Wrong one. It will be sop8,sop16 or a WSON8 chip and the size of the chip 16,384Kb - 16MB.What programmer and software version are you using,are you using the auto-detect setting or manual.Are you using a clip or have you desoldered the chip.What is the part number on top of the chip.

Ive built a bios for you.Made a copy of your bios backup,merged the update using a hex editor,copied the service tag and win key ,and cleaned the ME firmware.Let me know if it works ok.

With this bios no cpu power. with stock bios it has.

Re: Alienware Aurora R12 BIOS Request

I have an alienware laptop, and the BIOS update is an exe file. I really don’t want to disassemble the entire laptop to do an external flashing, so is there anyway I can download their BIOS update file and apply intel ME cleaner, then repack it to use Dell’s internal flashing tool?

Off-topic,post in the laptop forum.

I want to know how to merge the original 32m bios and the 12M version and need a Device Service Card,,,to get the new 32m bios,,, I wonder if it's too complicated to understand?

Not exactly sure what can be done here, I have a Alienware Aurora R12 that was rebooted mid bios update and the original owner tried to buy a chip off of Ebay and fix it. That went about as well as you can imagine.
I'm trying to rewrite the bios to recover the computer but I think I'm a bit over my head here. I bought a 341a programmer and have been able to dump what ever is left off the original chip into a file but this is where I'm hosed.

I'm trying to expand my knowledge but I'm also interested in just getting this working first.

What assistance can you offer me here?

Post bios backup even if it is corrupted.

SMDFlea Apologies for creating a new post, I was concerned about thread hijacking. Greatly appreciate you correcting this and the information.

As requested, here is a dump from the original bios chip. The service tag is in the file name.

[SMDFlea]

Please type as text the service tag. It does say in the rules not to post the SN/Service tag as part of the file name

[fuller]

As requested Service Tag: BBCHNK3

I have also re-attached the file as to maintain a link between the service tag and the file. Thank you for correcting my mistake.
