    Now I understand that the 25Q80DVSIG is not the BIOS chip, as SMDFlea mentioned. However, I now have two problems:
    1. I accidentally erased the 25Q80DVSIG 1 Mbit chip, and I'm not sure how to recover it. πŸ˜₯
    2. I'm still trying to identify the correct BIOS chip and find the appropriate bin file to program it. I have a feeling it should be designated as UH4 and the chip is (25B128CSIG) please correct me if I am wrong

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        Does anyone have the bin file for the 25Q80DVSIG chip? I accidentally erased that chip instead of the BIOS chip.πŸ˜₯

        Additionally, I programmed the 25B128CSIG (BIOS chip) with the file provided on the forum for the Alienware 17 R4, (Alienware 17 R4 Service Tag GWKWLH2.bin). However, after powering on the laptop, the fans spin briefly, and then nothing happens. If I leave the laptop on, this process repeats.

              [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,...

              Dell 9010 MT BIOS Update Always Fails
              by mikeybass
              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...

              Dell Pro 13 Plus PB13250 Bios Unlock
              by Akhlz001
              Hi,

              Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate...

              Dell Latitude 5400 Chromebook UEFI bios
              by jhanra
              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, πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…...

              Dell Alienware 15R2 Bios recovery.
              by fiveOfox
              Hello all! I'm new here but looking to get help with my Dell Alienware 15 R2. I have dumped the bios and have already tried another bios online and it worked but i would like to have all my info in the new bios but i also don't know my service tag as it was worn off the bottom so I'm hoping someone could help get it from the old bios image and get me a working image for my machine that has all the correct info!


              I have provided my original corrupted bios and the bios i used to get the machine working.
              Thank you!...
