Hi,
I have noticed with Dell Laptops, that once the bios is corrupted, then reflashing the chips with other versions from other machines (ec/main) will work fine in the sense, the machine can then boot again normally, but there is always one issue remaining: The bios can no longer be updated. There are posts all over the internet complaining about Dell bios updates failing. They go through the update procedure and everything looks fine, but as soon as the machine restarts, it just boots normally without actually performing the upgrade.
I have an E6430 (LA-7781P) which I have recovered with files off this forum, but it is stuck at A14. Does anybody have the ec/main dumps for version A24 as that is my only hope of upgrading it (unless anybody knows a trick how to make this work).
I have tried windows/dos forceit options, everything imaginable to get it to upgrade, but absolutely nothing works.
Your help appreciated!
Thanks
