    Dell Latitude 5340 corrupt bios - clean bios needed

    Working on a Dell 5340 new Intel 13th gen with a corrupt bios flash.
    Worked good before failed flash now won't power at all.
    May have been a bad connection.

    Want to get a clean rebuild bios like new motherboard so can input Service Tag on bootup.

    32mb chip - 25Q256JVEN
    Attach Dell Bios Update file v1.14 - original Dell update

                                          by Tesla
                                          I have a Dell XPS-15 (9520) with the LA-L402P motherboard. It seems to have bricked itself after a common BIOS-Firmware upgrade. Now, it just shows BIOS screen for a few seconds before turning-itself back Off (and doesn't seem to be fully Posting). I've done these many times before with no problems.

                                          I was hoping to please have my own-thread to work-through this (hopefully successful) repair as a whole. Apart from the possible need to have a BIOS-dump fixed-up, I have a feeling I'm going to have other questions. This includes using my new XGecu-T76 for the first time (should be here...

                                          [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,...

                                          Hi

                                          i have dell latitude E7270 with following symptoms:
                                          - takes long time to restart.
                                          - sometimes powers on and then off
                                          - sometimes while working it just dies,

                                          From googling online bios clean could possible resolve this?

                                          i was able to save bios and was going to try bios clean myself but get an below error when i drop it in ME analyzer.(unsure whether this sometimes occurs or could be due to bad/corrupt bios)

                                          As ME analyzer gave me an error i just decided to write bios with a cleaned bios from E7270 bios post.
                                          I reinstall...

                                          Dell Latitude 5530 BIOS Password Removal Attempted but I Broke the Laptop
                                          by TopPop
                                          Sorry for the long story. I have a Dell Latitude 5530 (i7) laptop (South Peak 15 MLK MB DDR4 203102-1 FK8VG$JA) with an admin BIOS password that I want to remove. Service Tag: HYKFPT3. Other than that the laptop worked OK.

                                          I found a CH341A Black and went looking for the BIOS chip on the motherboard. After trying to read one chip that was a firmware chip but not the BIOS I think I found the BIOS chip labeled Winbond 25Q256JVEN. Altogether I think I found 4 different firmware chips in the laptop. The BIOS chip is a WSON8 6x8. I used the CH341A, NeoProgrammer, and a cheap pogo pin clip...

                                          Dell OptiPlex 3090 Micro – Clean SPI BIOS dump needed (password locked)
                                          by Swatou
                                          Hi everyone,

                                          I bought a used Dell OptiPlex 3090 Micro with a BIOS administrator password that I cannot remove. Dell support refuses to help without the original proof of purchase, and the seller is unreachable.

                                          I would like to try flashing the BIOS chip with a CH341A programmer, but I need a clean SPI BIOS dump for this exact model.

                                          Here are my machine details:

                                          Service Tag: 50P1BB3

                                          Express Service Code: 10925963391

                                          Form factor: Micro

                                          I can share my current BIOS dump (read with CH341A) for comparison if needed....
