      Can't read what's written on the chips, take a separate clear image for each chip.

              You should upload both chips to combine them, U1 is 8MB and U2 is 4MB.

                              Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
                              by Bowline
                              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...

                              Dell Vostro 3578 Battery Error
                              by ianbak
                              Hi,

                              Please can anyone shed some light on why my Dell Vostro 3578 is giving the following BIOS error: 'The primary battery is not identifiable and this system will not charge this battery pack.'?

                              The problem is not the battery - I've tried three different identical ones, all Dell OEM. They all work perfectly in other systems (different models, though) whilst giving the same error in the Vostro.
                              The laptop will run happily from the battery if it is charged and Windows accurately reports the charge level, proving that the communication between the laptop and the battery...

                              Dell G15 5515 - Error 43 After Incorrect VBIOS Flash on RTX 3050
                              by andre4744
                              The dell g15 5515 service tag 64TXVM3 turned on and no image appeared. I reprogrammed the wrong BIOS chip, I ended up doing it on the 25Q16JWSIQ VBIOS chip. After realizing the error, I reprogrammed the correct chip and burned the ROM of the GPU taken from TECHUP (https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/...le-4096-210618) on 25Q16JWSIQ. When starting, the notebook turned on normally and showed an image, but the GPU shows error 43 in Windows. I uninstalled the drivers via DDU and installed them again, without success. I used NVFlash, the GPU is recognized, but the EEPROM is not...

                              Dell Latitude E5550 FW status recovery error & unable to reboot
                              by a_tiny_ant
                              Hi everyone

                              Since a month or so my laptop, a refurbished Dell Latitude E5550, has been unable to exit sleep mode or properly reboot. Upon waking from sleep mode it shuts down and reboots and upon attempting a reboot it just hangs at a black screen forever. The laptop was working fine for several years up until a month ago.

                              Initially I thought it was OS related, since it's running Arch Linux, wouldn't be the first time an update broke something but it also happens on Windows, Ubuntu live images and even a complete restored image from a year ago where it definitely worked...
