This laptop hangs on Dell logo and gives 2 amber, 4 white blink code (service manual suggest RAM failure). I tried another bios from "bios archives" and got a solid white light which blinks when the charger is plugged in. Processor gets hot enough to turn on the fans and the fans spin constantly even though the lid is closed. All voltages seem to be present and no low resistance on any of the inductors. Thanks in advance.

Re: Dell XPS 9310 GDA30 LA-J143P bios repair please
Hello guys! not sure if I should reply to this thread. I have a Dell XPS 13 9310 with 3 amber and 6 white flashes (which normally means corrupt bios or incomplete flash). Is there any way to recover from this? Is someone able to repair this somehow if I post the bios dump? Also, I can see 2 chips: 1 winbond and 1 XMC next to the CPU, which one should I read? Thank you in advance!Comment

Re: Dell XPS 9310 GDA30 LA-J143P bios repair please
Top man! I was still on version 7.51. I have managed to read the XMC but not sure if the Winbond 25Q80DV1G read is fine as flash detect gives me 26 possible selections. Also, second chip looks mostly empty after reading.
Thank you guys for taking your time with a newb!Comment

Re: Dell XPS 9310 GDA30 LA-J143P bios repair please
The winbond chip is only 1MB and its not the bios chip , its only 8 Mega Bits . The XM25QH256B is 256 Mega bits ,divide 256 by 8 = 32 ,so 32MB.
Both files posted by hoaca388 are 32MB .Dell provide 2 different updates in the bios update, and he doesn`t know which one is for laptop so he`s posted both. Your laptop spec from the service tag doesn`t give the CPU ID ,but does list the platform as MODENA TGL .Try the TGL bios first, the other one i assume is for Tiger Lake Refresh CPU`s.

Re: Dell XPS 9310 GDA30 LA-J143P bios repair please
hello,
I'm also in a similar predicament as above. I flashed with the modenaTGL bios and that brought everything back to life.
I'm curious as to the method graft the new service tag and windows OEM key (another question here, the above threads looks to be only modifying service tag -- not windows key... are the dell keys generic? ) into a clean ME bios on these new dell laptops? I've taken a look at this bios via HxD and UEFITool but it looks like the bios guard requires disassembly ( dinked around a bit with Dell PFS Update Extractor too )
anyways, would be cool to learn how to do it if anyone could point me in the right direction. feels weird just asking others to do the work for me.
Thanks!Comment

i looked at the bin files a bit more last night. was able to spot the windows key and replace no problem. this service tag thing is a bit strange though. cant seem to spot it anywhere in the bios. any suggestions?Comment

Re: Dell XPS 9310 GDA30 LA-J143P bios repair please
yes sir, in so many words!
reading up on this site for bios editing seems straight forward to me. however, these new style dell laptops feel a little bit different and documentation feels a little flimsy -- at least from what I've found latelyComment

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,... -
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...04-23-2025, 04:30 PM -
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, 😅😅😅... -

Hi folks,
I got a Dell Optiplex 7010 micro PC (Exact Model) with 8FC8 BIOS and locked out admin password. I attempted to remove the password by patching the BIOS via info from this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ssword-patcher
After flashing the patched the BIOS, the PC is unresponsive with a solid AMBER power LED (not documented in manual anywhere)
Steps I took:- Read BIOS with CH341a, verified hash twice
