Hello. Made the mistake of upgrading the BIOS on an Inspiron 7501 (also known as Vostro 7500 - same laptop) and finding Dell do not let you downgrade easily now. You can however go back one version at a time but unfortunately BIOS version 1.23 is not on their website and appears to have been deleted so I am stuck. I have every other version necessary but 1.23 is missing.

Just thought I'd check to see if anyone has it saved, you never know.

The installation file would be called "Inspiron_7500_7501_Vostro_7500_1.23.0.exe"

I've bought used everything aside from hard drives and SSDs. I'm npt entirely sure why exactly but it's probably because I know these are essentially wear items with a finite life, I'd rather just spend more to get the maximum amount of time from them.

I also buy used laptops because I like high specifications and can rarely afford these new, used is pretty much my only option but I like to think I know what I'm looking at. I'm sure I'll get burned one day but it hasn't happened yet, every 4-5 years I'll buy a new high spec laptop that is a couple of years old at most and it has always...

Hello all, I was directed here by a helpful repair technician on YouTube and wow! what a resource. I have a schematic that I think I can contribute too, checking to see if it is already posted.

I'll be sticking around, seems like a very useful site.
