    Dell Alienware 15R2 Bios recovery.

    Hello all! I'm new here but looking to get help with my Dell Alienware 15 R2. I have dumped the bios and have already tried another bios online and it worked but i would like to have all my info in the new bios but i also don't know my service tag as it was worn off the bottom so I'm hoping someone could help get it from the old bios image and get me a working image for my machine that has all the correct info!


    I have provided my original corrupted bios and the bios i used to get the machine working.
    Thank you!

                  sorry about that. And the service tag label is not readable on the back cover unfortunately.

                              I flashed the new.bin and it looks like it’s booting up correctly with the service tag you found. Thank you so much! Is there anything else that needs to be done to it? Also a way to tip you if that’s allowed.

                                      Dell 9010 MT BIOS Update Always Fails
                                      by mikeybass
                                      Hi, I hope some one has some advice for me. I searched the forums but didn't see anything relevant. I acquired two identical Dell 9010 Mid Tower computers from a business office upgrade (they were going to throw them out). Both of them have the same motherboard (00F82W). One of them works flawlessly. The other one had a corrupted BIOS. I tried flashing numerous main BIOS and EC files from the internet, but none of them worked. I decided to copy the main BIOS and EC from the working 9010 computer and successfully flashed the corrupted BIOS. This got the computer able to boot again and run norm...

                                      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, 😅😅😅...

                                      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
                                      ...

                                      Dell Precision T7910 no bios, no post after applying SAS/RAID setup
                                      by bmxlovah
                                      Hi,

                                      My Dell Precision T7910 died after enabling onboard SAS controller and applying RAID settings. There were no hardware changes between working and not working state, only setup (via bios -> controller settings). After applying settings and reboot PC turns on, flash leds (normally) but there's no further action, it just stays on with no graphics and no keyboard led's on. There's no Dell logo, nothing. I've tried resetting bios by jumper, replacing cpu's, replacing ram, removed/replaced cmos battery, disconnecting all drives etc. I've also dumped .bins from mobo chips SLI1 (16...

                                      I have a Dell Precision T1650 MT workstation (of the following spec.) that was bricked yesterday when attempting to update the BIOS from A27 to A28 per:
                                      - https://www.dell.com/support/home/en...-t1650/drivers > Dell Precision T1650 System BIOS

                                      - Dell Precision T1650 mid tower Workstation
                                      - Xeon E3-1225 V2
                                      - 32Gb PC3-12800E RAM
                                      - 4Tb SATA HDD
                                      - motherboard: Dell part: 0C3YXR CN-0C3YXR-72200-39C-01GR-A02

                                      I see now that others have experienced like issues e.g.:
