Re: Help with Dell PFS extractor
It isn`t a PFS image. When you have a bios update with the blue dell icon try the older command line options to extract.
XPS8920_1.0.23.exe /writeromfile will extract a 12MB file,only the first 8MB is the update so further editing is needed, with a hex editorComment

Is it possible to extract BIOS (or BIOS modules) with Dell PFS extractor for Dell Alienware X17 R2?
It splashes me
Error: This is not a Dell PFS BIOS image!

It won`t extract using Dell PFS extractor until the first exe is extracted, its an AFUDELL app.

But it opens and closes, it doesn't work.
Do I need to edit something for it to work? Could you share a link to the exe file?

GUIDE TO USE DELL PFS EXTRACTOR or other extractors from BiosUtilities (my way)
1. Download BIOSUtilities (thanks to platomav) and move folder "BiosUtilities" to Desktop
https://github.com/platomav/BIOSUtilities
2. Install python 3.11.0 or higher (both versions for 32bit and 64bit)
3. Download Dell bios update from Dell site (in my example bios update for Dell Latitude 3420) and move it to "BiosUtilities" from Desktop.
4. RENAME update exe WHITOUT SPACES AND DOTS! In my example "Latitude_3420_Latitude_3520_1.37.0.exe" to "Latitude_3420_Latitude_3520_1_37_0.exe"
5. Open cmd as admin and go to folder "BiosUtilities" from Desktop. For win10 win11 drag&drop "Dell_PFS_Extract.py" [space] "Latitude_3420_Latitude_3520_1_37_0.exe" and hit Enter. (for win7 use copy/paste)
6. For ALIENWARE use "Insyde_IFD_Extract.py", is not AMI bios but Insyde!

My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?
My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell... -

Hi All,
I just bought an old Dell Inspiron 1764 to put Linux on, but
before doing that I thought I'd update the BIOS from windows using
DELL's suggested file FLASHME_v103_Win_1194_4M_1764A13.exe.
(https://www.dell.com/support/home/en...n-1764/drivers)
This failed and bricked my laptop and this model doesn't seem to have any usb boot type recovery options.
So now I'm trying to flash it myself using a CH341A BIOS USB Programmer
but can't find any way to get the BIOS image out of the exe file.... -

I would like to share my experience about charging issues with Dell power supplies with the tech community. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 5590, Mainboard 18778-1 with charging problems. The device can be switched on and works so far, only the message appears at startup:
Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and Type cannot be determined. The battery may not change. The System will adjust the performace to match the power available.
The power supply unit is not recognized in the Bios and the charging process is set to "idle". I use original Dell battery, type...
