    Dell Latitude 5520 refusing Bios Update, Black screen no matter what I do


    Hi, if this needs to go in different category please let me know

    I have Dell Latitude 5520, however it refusing a Bios Update, the current Bios version 1.30. Its 11th gen with with an 1135 G7 CPU.

    I have tried everything under the sun to try and get this Laptop to update the Bios, Latest version 1.47, however It wont do the Bios Update, via Windows, Via USB, Via Network, same issue, in Windows it does the checks and says its restarting the laptop, however all I get is black screen, nothing after that, 15/20/30 minutes, even 1 hour after.

    I tried using the Bios recovery RCV file, after pressing CTRL+ESC and inserting the power, keyboard lights up and nothing, no Bios recovery Page. Just a black screen.

    I tried version 1.36 (next one up) same thing

    Checked all setting in Bios, should work, even deleted the Stored firmware updates in Windows.

    Short of pulling the Motherboard out and removing and reprogramming the Bios with Fresh Bios, I am out of ideas. Can be done but its long.

    Anyone experience a similar issue with Dell Laptop like this??? Let me know, could it be partition issue or windows issue or just a corrupt bios?

    Kind Regards,
