Hello, I have a DELL XPS 9550 which powers on and does nothing. I am suspecting the bios to be corrupted. I noticed that this laptop has 3 flash IC's. Can somebody please provide me a working dump of all 3 ic's UH8 16MB, UT5 4MB, UT2 1MB? Thank you in advance!

Re: DELL XPS 9550 bios dumps
Do you have your original dump? I've extracted bios file from Dell bios update exe-s on newer models and merged them with original dump. Thus far I have only needed to program the 16MB EEPROMs.Comment

Re: DELL XPS 9550 bios dumps
Worked like a charm. Thank you for sharing.
I had to switch back to UEFI in the settings to boot Windows.
Just FYI so you won't go around and desolder all 3 bioses to figure out which 0ne it is.
It is the one closest to the PCH - W25Q128BVLast edited by ZixuTech; 05-30-2020, 09:49 PM.Comment

Re: DELL XPS 9550 bios dumps
Hello,
I am facing a similar, probably worst, issue with a XPS 15 9550 that is almost dead :
- first push on power button = lights on
- second push = nothing, no fan spin, no screen back-light.
- power led goes off after 10 sec
- LCD auto-test (d+power) never fires
- battery side indicator lights up, but i suspect it always display full battery, although that may be wrong.
- Battery charging led lights up when connected to PSU.
I tried to flash the main bios with the bin that you guys had success with, but with no luck. I also flashed the to other W25Q chips with bins i got from a working identical model. No better.
Its probably worthless, but i want to give it a final try using three bins extracted from a model that was saved by flashing the clean_me rom provided here. I dont't now, maybe those i have don't match and fail when calling each other on incorrect physical addresses.
Can anyone who successfully flashed the main clean_ME be kind enough to dump the bin of the two other W25Q and deposit them here?
Thanks in advanceComment

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,... -
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 -
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, 😅😅😅... -

Hi folks,
I got a Dell Optiplex 7010 micro PC (Exact Model) with 8FC8 BIOS and locked out admin password. I attempted to remove the password by patching the BIOS via info from this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ssword-patcher
After flashing the patched the BIOS, the PC is unresponsive with a solid AMBER power LED (not documented in manual anywhere)
Steps I took:- Read BIOS with CH341a, verified hash twice
