Re: Dell E6430 Dump of A18 Bios
Unfortunately it does not. It just does a normal reboot, instead rebooting and starting the flash process.
I guess A18 will be the last Update for this model. If someone with a E6430 can send me a dump (should be possible with the software I attached) I can solve this with ease.Comment

Re: Dell E6430 Dump of A18 Bios
It is not possible to deactivate signed firmware update on the E6430 and newer models.
Anyway I solved my problems. I bought another E6430 updated it to A18, made a dump and flashed it on the one I had problems with. Worked as expected.
I attached the Bios Dump of both eeproms (U52+U53) if anybody else needs it.
It recent Version A18 and does not contain a password.
It is from a Dell Latitude E6430 with integrated Intel Graphics. I don't know if this works with E6430 with Nvidia or AMD Graphics.Comment

Good solution there!
Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.
My computer doubles as a space heater.

Re: Dell E6430 Dump of A18 Bios
Thank you GrafZahl for the A18 dump. I have a second hand E6430 with A11 BIOS and have the same issue as you have described here and could not find a solution for that, at Dell support forum they did not have answers and there seems to be no-one else with this issue. Me I also thought it could be the Signed Update Firmware variable setting, however, as it cannot be reversed back to off once it has been set to on, I don't see how it can be verified.
The zip file you posted contains two files. I was expecting a single file to flash using fpt. Please can you tell me how can I use the two files to flash the BIOS?

Re: Dell E6430 Dump of A18 Bios
You need to write it directly to the 2 EEPROM chips using an eeprom programmer (you can also use an raspberry pi with the software "flashrom" for this). Either desolder the chips and put them in the programmer, or use a test clip without desoldering the chips.Comment

Re: Please help!! Bios dump Dell Latitude E6430
Hi there,
I got this (like new condition) Dell E6430 and power up with a blank screen. after a few minutes CPU fan is cycling at normal speed.
I have removed the battery and held power button 30 sec, removed CMOS, reseated RAM, rebooted without CD drive, HD, or battery connected... nothing has resolved the issue. I have the diagram (Model LA7781P)...how can I find if the BIOS is causing this problem? In the past I did reprogram a BIOS chip...this time there are two....!!!
ThanksComment

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, 😅😅😅... -

- 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.

Hi all,
This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.
I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

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...04-23-2025, 04:30 PM
