Put PFS extract and the update in the same folder,drag the update onto the PFS extract exe it will extract into a new folder in the same directory.

Re: Dell Vostro 5501 bios

Just tried original 8mb backup + official dell update 16mb bin combination, it didn't work either

[tomodachi]

Re: Dell Vostro 5501 bios

So I used 16mb bin file from post above and kept my original 8mb bin file, now everything works.
Service tag remained original.

Thanks everyone for support.
