Dell Inspiron 3521 with AMD

[RethoricalCheese]

Fixed a 3521 broken bios with a dump I found here. It worked well but I discovered that it did not recognize AMD graphics.

So if anybody happens to own a working dump for AMD graphics version, please do send me the file.

try this one.

Thank you very much!

Did not work straight out of the box (got BSOD-s while installing graphics driver) but after I updated BIOS to latest version using Dell Support tool, everything worked fine, it allowed me to finally install the driver.

Re: Dell Inspiron 3521 with AMD

have you programmed both the 2Mbyte and 4Mbyte files or just the main 4Mbyte one?

Both of them, ofcourse.

Might have just been some compatibility issue with outdated bios and windows 10 and updating bios might have fixed that.

The dump you provided had either A05 or A04 version. Newest is A14.

that is right. Windows 10 probably needed the latest version of the laptop's Bios. version A05 is probably compatible to Win7.
