    Alienware m16 R2 bios Dump needed

    I received an Alienware m16 R2 computer with the cursed "Legacy manageability interface" enabled.

    I tried to downgrade the version to the oldest possible one, as I mentioned in another topic > Inspiron 15 3530 bios

    However, the machine wouldn't turn on! So I reverted to the original version 1.15.0, which I had already backed up.

    I decided to try reverting the versions manually, using the .rcv file from the Dell website, and I only managed to do it with version 1.14.0.

    The next day I thought about flashing a clean ME version of version 1.0.0, which is the first version of this machine,
    but the machine wouldn't turn on either! So I tried reverting to the original version I had backed up, 1.15.0, but the machine won't turn on!

    I hadn't backed up version 1.14.0 before, and now I have a dead machine on my workbench! I need to rebuild the BIOS in this version 1.14.0, can anyone help me with this please? I thank you in advance.

      Thanks for the feedback, bro! I was able to solve it earlier today, the problem was in my WSON tweezers that was not writing correctly. You can notice this after activating the verification on my ch341.

        Alienware Aurora R8/9 Bios .bin file needed
        by kamkam336
        Hello,

        I got a new mobo from Aliexpress for my Aurora r9 and everything was working fine until i did a bios update. It did not work and now i get 3x, 7x, 3x, 6x blinking code. Dell says that is a corrupt bios. So i have the ch341 and software required, i just don't have the bios.bin file.

        Since the board is from Aliexpress it doesn't have a service tag, I have a copy of the .exe bios and a copy of my corrupted bios attached. Hopefully this is enough, if anyone is able to help me and requires any more information please let me know.

        Thanks ...

        Janome DC3050 Sewing Machine Pedal Resistance
        by CG2
        OK, this is a long shot. I got this sewing machine cheap because it's end of line, ex-display, and had no pedal. The genuine pedal costs £60, while Ebay knock-offs go for around £15. So I went for the knock-off, it doesn't work, and I'm not sure whether it's the pedal or the sewing machine that has the problem.

        Now this is an electronic machine, unlike the old fashioned sort where the pedal was a big resistor in series with the power to the motor. Here, the pedal is just (I think) a variable resistor fed with a 5 volt supply, and limited to a current of 5 milliamps. Assuming that...
