    Need BIOS rom file for Dell 7720

    Hi,

    Could someone please extract me the rom file from this .exe
    (https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER030.../1/7720A17.exe) as I cannot get it to extract on my other laptop as it is not a Dell laptop?

    My Dell 7720 requires the bios to be rewritten as it is corrupt.
    I can get it to look at the usb stick to load the rom file but as Dell only supply it as an exe file I cannot extract it.

    I have tried using '7720A17.exe -WriteRomFile' and it says it is going to do it but then stops without extracting the file (needs to run as administrator but even then it won't let me extract it).

    I would be most grateful if anyone with a 7720 could extract me the rom file.

    Thanks.

      Can anyone help before I give up on it and use it as a doorstop?

                      Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e 2H1703-27220F Rev. A Marked as U2501 on the motherboard.

                      Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

                      Hello everyone,

                      I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

                      This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

                      I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

                      [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,...

                      Unable to extract bios file from Lenovo bios exectuable
                      by survivalbloke
                      I'm trying to extract a flashable bios file(ch341a) from the lenovo bios executable download. I have tried the instructions from this site https://starkeblog.com/lenovo/uefi/2...pdate-exe.html, which are not working. According to those instructions, after issuing the command
                      Code:
                      "innoextract 7wcn38ww.exe"
                      it should create an \app folder, inside which, I should find a newly created "7wcn38ww.exe" file. I should then be able to extract that using 7zip and find my .FD file.

                      The trouble I'm having is that I'm not getting the newly...

                      Unable to extract Lenovo BIOS file from installer
                      by survivalbloke
                      I'm working on a Lenovo LOQ 15APH8, Serial# MP2L9MAV. I want to flash a new BIOS onto it, but I'm also trying to learn this process for my own enrichment and professional development.

                      I was watching some tutorials, copying the serial info blocks from the old bios to a new bios. Before that though, they use innoextract on the Lenovo .exe. I downloaded Innoextract v1.9 but it tells me my .exe is not a supported inno setup installer(see screenshot). So if I unpack this using 7zip, I do get a .ROM file, but according to my tutorials, I'm looking for a .FD file.

                      How can...

                      Dell Latitude 5431 issues with dumping bios
                      by Sathsul
                      So, i kinda spend significant ammount of the last couple of days trying to flash a new bios, and or unlocking the current bios password with little to no results.
                      The whole thing started with it being the 8fc8 bios, i found the tools to unlock that but i needed a bios dump. So i pursued that, im at a point where i dessoudered the chip, and succesfully soudered it to the ch341, dumped whatever was on it.
                      However, the tools supposed to unlock the 8fc8 say that there is no 8fc8 hex inside. And when i followed diffrent tutorials to just flash a new bios onto the chip i got stuck on the...
