Greetings, hoaca, everyone. I see that many people seem to have recovered their BIOS in the posts above, but I have been unable after many days of flashing BIOS files from this forum post and elsewhere. Would it be possible for you or someone to provide a BIOS for my Optiplex 3010 (042p49):
Board code MIH61R MB 10097-1 48.3EQ01.011
Service Tag is CYQKHX1
BIOS chip is mx25l6406e
I blew up my BIOS using internal software programming and sadly had only dumped the "BIOS Region" of the BIOS. That file is attached and was created with fptw64.exe -bios -d 3010bios.bin, which resulted in only 6MB of the total 8MB needed. I have a ch341a (black) programmer that I would use to restore the BIOS.
Thank you for your consideration.
P.S. The symptom I always see after every flash is that my display (a TV) is blank. The TV indicates via on-screen display that there is some kind of signal coming over the HDMI cable, but nothing ever displays on the screen.
Can confirm that BIOS posted by foulou0238 on page 1 is working for me. Ended up using a Raspberry Pi 3, the ch341a (black) programmer, and flashrom built into Raspberry Pi OS to flash the ROM. I can't say for certain that flashrom/Linux was the fix in my case because I changed too many variables at once. Note: My rPi4 didn't work; the light on ch341a kept flashing weirdly just by being plugged in to the rPi4. Upon first successful boot after flash, Dell BIOS prompted me to enter the Dell Service Tag which I luckily was able to recover from previous BIOS dumps. Upon installing Windows 11 (thanks to Rufus) and providing my Microsoft account/password, Windows showed as activated.
This is the second time members on this site have helped me. The first time was with an actual bad cap on a Samsung TV. Many thanks!
I tried to program the official A22 bios(downloaded from official site) through the windows method. It completed successfuly at 100% and after that computer stayed black.
I tried to program every 8mb bios i found in this thread with my CH341A but none worked.
My service tag is 63DWG5J.
i have attached the bios i managed to read after the update to A22. Can someone please help me to fix my bios i will be grateful.
I dont care about windows serials and other stuff i just wont it to work.
Thanks in advance.

First of all thank you very much for you reply and you effort trying to help! I really appreciate it from the deep of my heart.
I tried the bios and it doesnt work.. It doesnt make any sense!
The only thing i did was run the official a22 update from dells site and it finished 100% without any problems! After that motherboard powers on and black screen. Is there any possibility that bios update corupted something else except for bios? I used AsProgrammer to flash the chip. Should i use other program?
This is insane...bios flashes, reads and verifies with CH341A without any problems.
What else can it be??
