    DELL Optiplex 740 - Need bios please no original

    Greetings,

    i have a damaged Dell Optiplex 740 which crashed during bios update and needs now to program the chip.
    I downloaded bios from Dell but it is compressed in exe file and did not manage how to extract according to some methods that i found here......
    Does anyone have a bin file or know how i can find it?
    My model is Dell Optiplex 740 and M/B CN-OPY127-70821-6AR-90QX REV A02

    Thanks in advance

      Try this file, there are two BIOS inside 4Mbit and 8Mbit
      Depends on what BIOS chip / version you have.
      This is extracted from O740-222.exe using HEX editor.

              You are welcome, was it the 4Mbit or 8Mbit file you used? (To know which one is tested good now)
              Also when you have the ability can you check if it is SLIC 2.1 or SLIC 2.0 using SLIC Toolkit from mydigitallife?

                          [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                          by zenius
                          Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                          Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                          Dell Latitude 5431 issues with dumping bios
                          by Sathsul
                          So, i kinda spend significant ammount of the last couple of days trying to flash a new bios, and or unlocking the current bios password with little to no results.
                          The whole thing started with it being the 8fc8 bios, i found the tools to unlock that but i needed a bios dump. So i pursued that, im at a point where i dessoudered the chip, and succesfully soudered it to the ch341, dumped whatever was on it.
                          However, the tools supposed to unlock the 8fc8 say that there is no 8fc8 hex inside. And when i followed diffrent tutorials to just flash a new bios onto the chip i got stuck on the...

                          Dell Latitude 5400 Chromebook UEFI bios
                          by jhanra
                          Hi there masters, recently i got a dell 5400 chromebook and wanted to install windows, i searched the internet and i found out other people also wanting a UEFI bios for this model, i searched there is a R/W legacy, but there are bugs like keyboard/trackpad not working, and hard to install.

                          so i decided to try to port one, this bios is based on dell 5400 windows version, i am testing this bios for a week now an found only a little to no bug at all in windows 10, or only a minor issue
                          in windows 11 sound driver compatibility, but overall its ok, for me i can deal with it, 😅😅😅...

                          BIOS file for a Dell Latitude 3340
                          by Clawed07
                          I've been trying to reset the bios password on this god-forsaken laptop, and due to it being a 8FC8, i've had little to no success with online password generators like https://bios-pw.org , not to mention how I don't want to burn a hole in my wallet by paying like 80 bucks on a weird sketchy website. Im using a local bios tool, except it requires a BIOS file, and I'm not entirely sure how to retrieve it.

                          Forgot to mention the motherboard is a Dell Inc. 004WC7, VER. A01
