Awesome, thanks for the clarification. The issue is password related, but I've tried both that site and a number of others to no avail. I've tried the CTRL+ENTER+ENTER trick, CTRL+ENTER, and a variety of others (like removing the CMOS battery, for example) with no success.

A few other sites have suggested that machines with the -E7A8 and -8FC8 suffixes may not work with password recovery sites, which seems to be the case for me. As this is a laptop I bought for parts and paid next to nothing...

For clarification, the board is: CAL50/DAL10 LA-F115P and rev: 1.0 (A00), and the full service code is 1HBSDP2-E7A8

Heya, I'm looking to reflash the BIOS on a Dell Latitude 3590 P75F001 (Service tag: 1HBSDP2). Does anyone have the BIOS for this laptop?

Additionally, I'm not 100% sure I've properly located the BIOS chip. I've found a chip marked as 'UC3' on the mobo, which is labelled as 'WINBOND 25Q128JVSQ 1748' and located right next to where the touch pad's ribbon cable connects to the mobo (see pic). If anyone can verify that this is in fact the correct chip that would be wonderful....
