Hello.
I have a big problem with xps 15 9550.
The laptop turned on, but after installing the system (each), when trying to install anything, it displayed a message that the system administrator does not allow installation. The worst thing is that no system saw wifi, despite the fact that wifi was visible in the bios. When trying to install the drivers, of course, a message was displayed that the system administrator does not allow ...
I tried ways with the system to get around this problem - nothing helped.
My service came to the conclusion that the previous owner had somehow secured the laptop and decided to program the bios from the beginning - all 3 pieces.
Unfortunately, they did not remove the bios battery while working with the bios readout. In addition, it is not known whether they correctly saved the original 16mb bios. And of course 4mb and 1mb.
At the moment, the laptop turns on, does not go through POST and turns off after 5 seconds.
I've already tried with a dozen bios - none of them worked. It's always the same - Post doesn't pass and turns off after 5 seconds. Programs each of the 3 bios. Also with the original one, it is not known whether it is correctly written.
Can anyone, anyone, help me? I've already lost hope that the laptop will come back to life.
Hello everyone,
I have XPS15 9550 and after I came back from vacation it suddenly won't turn on anymore. LCD diagnostics test passed. Upon power button, fans don't start and power light dies shortly after. After reading posts online, looks like my BIOS needs to be updated/ upgraded. How can I do with a USB (FAT 32) if my computer doesn't even turn on? Any help is much appreciated!
Mine is also dell xps 15 9550 but with different problem:
D + power goes screen test
sometimes is gives me dell logo for few seconds than screen goes off.
if i power it off then on, no logo will appear..i must wait many minutes to get the logo again, i cannot enter bios.
I tried bios posted by SMDFlea post #23 , but all i got is black screen with fans spin for few seconds only, i waited half an hour with no success...
this is my bios file:
service tag(S/N):FKVMJ2
express service code: 33914177966
Does anyone have the BIOS of this machine? AAM00 LA-C361P Rev 1.0 (a00)
Today a colleague asked me for help because he was "repairing" his laptop because it wouldn't turn on (it wouldn't turn on because it had some short capacitors and well that's another story). He confessed to me that he was following some tutorials and started to move to three integrated that brings this machine thinking it was the bios.
- IC1 (Bios): MX25L12873F
- IC2 : 25Q80DVSIG
-IC3 : 25Q32
The truth is that I don't know what he did to them but the laptop actually turns on but it seems that it doesn't have a bios. (it turns on the power light but turns off almost instantly and that's it)
I tried to load a Bios that I found here in the forum but it still does not work, so I do not know if he delete or damage the information of the 3 IC....
You MUST
Post under a related thread if it exists
Provide the full machine model number, serial number (or Service tag, SNID) and the board model number (see https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=88758 )
Provide a BIOS/EC dump if possible
I am trying to fix my old xps 9550, there are 3 SPI chips, how am I supposed to know which one is the bios?
I ve already erased the UH8 chip (see boardview in attachment)...
