    Problems extracting from Dell Bios Update.Inspiron 3793

    I am trying to repair a Dell Inspiron 3793 which has problems with start up, no battery charging and fan not running. I believe the Bios (probably the EC Region) is corrupted.
    The board is FDI45-LAJ091P REV 1.0 A00
    Processor i7 1065G7 with GPU
    This MB has 2 Bios Chips (one 8MB and one 16MB chip).
    I am trying to reload a new Bios with clean ME region, new main region and new EC region.
    I attach the dumps of the 2 chips.
    I successfully used ME analyzer to identify ME, PCH and PMC versions and used Flash Image Tool to install ME, PCH and PMC cleaned regions.

    I am having problems in extracting with DellPfsExtract the Main Bios region and EC region from the Dell update EXE file downloaded from Dell's site.
    I tried different versions of DellPfsExtract.exe (from 3.6 to 5.1) but with all of them it says "Done! " but no folder is created. Python is installed and working fine also with ME Analyzer.
    Can somebody help or try to extract files from update executable? Thanks

      Thanks for your help! I spent hours trying to extract the files, but could not make it. I launched Dell_PFS_extract.exe, a new windows opened asking to enter the path of the exe file, dragged and dropped the file, pressed enter, Done!, but no new folder was created.

      Any idea what could be the problem?
