Dell optiplex 3000 micro bios

[redcapangler]

I will try to do this myself and report back. First time performing an "ME" clean.

Hi - so i've verified soldering is not the issue (have successfully reflashed many times on this board now). I did remove the CMOS battery before soldering, no issues there. Chip is working.

On a similar board (Optiplex 7010 micro) I required both the 16mb and 32mb chips to be updated in order for it work. hoaca388 helped with that one. I'm wondering if edits need to be made to the 16mb file as well?

well, 1st time when you wrote the file I sent you, you said it wasn't work. 2nd time when you wrote it in bios chipset it worked ... so, where was the problem? 32Mb chipset contain Bios_Region so Computrace is in it, no need to modify 16Mb chipset usually but you seem to have also problems with ME firmware. So you need to do a clean ME to your full bios.

so it was about poor soldering... did you remove CMOS battery before soldering bios chipset? Try applying defaults and see if works.

Ok, I reflashed original bios again, confirmed the machine can still boot (success) cleared the settings - then reflashed the updated file you provided.

The video came online (good, I wasn't waiting long enough for the reboots), i went into bios but the Absolute is still grayed out. Any thoughts?

I only invalidated Absolute entry, has nothing to do with video output. you have to wait for 2-3 minutes, machine will restart several times with no image. I just did a 5440 making same modifications and it worked.

volinakis - For some reason i'm no longer receiving video output (can't get back to bios). Tried both the HDMI and Display port. Any idea? I confirmed it was written correctly to the chip already (verified hex readback).

check soldering

volinakis - I was able to flash the original bios back and boot up. I'm trying to factory reset, then reflash to see if it helps it boot up.

Hello,

I have a Dell Optiplex 3000 micro form factor that has Absolute/Computrace enabled. I'm looking for assistance to disable this. I acquired this unit used.

Service Tag: JXHJ5S3

I've attached both the 16mb Bios Dump and the 32mb Bios dump.

Thank you,

write only 32Mb chipset. At 1st boot go into bios settings, security and permanently disable absolute. Pay attention, it will ask if you want to cancel operation and click No.
