    Dell Optiplex 760 USFF BIOS Mod Request for QuadCore CPUs

    Hi guys!
    I have a Dell Optiplex 760 USFF (Ultra-Small Form-Factor).
    It currently only supports Dual-Core CPUs and will halt with an error message, when a QuadCore is installed.

    I have seen people running QuadCores in these machines, but the BIOS needs to be modded.
    Since I have not found the modded BIOS to download anywhere, I am asking you guys for help:

    Could you please add support for QuadCore CPUs (in my case the Core2Quad Q9550) to the BIOS?

    I have attached the Dump of my machine.

    S/N: SRW2K4J
    Reg Model: DCTR
    Reg Type: 08054

    Thanks in advance for looking into this!

    Kind regards

    Nebukadnezar

      Dell Optiplex 7010 micro bad BIOS flash?
      by mrrubik
      Hi folks,

      I got a Dell Optiplex 7010 micro PC (Exact Model) with 8FC8 BIOS and locked out admin password. I attempted to remove the password by patching the BIOS via info from this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ssword-patcher
      After flashing the patched the BIOS, the PC is unresponsive with a solid AMBER power LED (not documented in manual anywhere)

      Steps I took:
      1. Read BIOS with CH341a, verified hash twice
      2. Patched

      🛠️ 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

      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...
