Hi All,
I just bought an old Dell Inspiron 1764 to put Linux on, but
before doing that I thought I'd update the BIOS from windows using
DELL's suggested file FLASHME_v103_Win_1194_4M_1764A13.exe.
(https://www.dell.com/support/home/en...n-1764/drivers)
This failed and bricked my laptop and this model doesn't seem to have any usb boot type recovery options.
So now I'm trying to flash it myself using a CH341A BIOS USB Programmer
but can't find any way to get the BIOS image out of the exe file.
I've found suggestions on command line options like /writeromfile etc but they do nothing.
(https://www.dr-bios.com/threads/how-...e-files.24469/)
I've found some python extraction scripts but they don't work.
(https://github.com/dreamwhite/bios-e...Dell/README.md)
I found an start address to search for with a hex editor but that didn't work.

Can anyone assist?, I really want to keep this laptop from landfill.
Thanks
Steve
