Re: Dell 15r 7520(5520) bios dump needed

Hey guys, I just replaced a failed Inspiron 7520 motherboard and learned more than I ever wanted about how Windows 8 key is embedded in OEM bios chip. Now my desktop has a watermark and is prompting me to activate windows 8 to no success.

Is there a full bios flash available that is pulled from a valid good bios that can restore the new motherboard to fix my issue?

Is switching bios chips from the old fried board to the new board a potential fix? I don't know what chip is the bios on the board so would have to figure...
