    Dell Latitude E6430 bios dumps v.A24 (bios upgrade problem)

    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

              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, 😅😅😅...

              Dell Latitude E7270 - Requesting BIOS clean/corrupt? service tag CB00KC2
              by TripTop
              Hi

              i have dell latitude E7270 with following symptoms:
              - takes long time to restart.
              - sometimes powers on and then off
              - sometimes while working it just dies,

              From googling online bios clean could possible resolve this?

              i was able to save bios and was going to try bios clean myself but get an below error when i drop it in ME analyzer.(unsure whether this sometimes occurs or could be due to bad/corrupt bios)

              As ME analyzer gave me an error i just decided to write bios with a cleaned bios from E7270 bios post.
              I reinstall...

              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...
