DELL Optiplex 740 - Need bios please no original

[indyga]

Greetings,

i have a damaged Dell Optiplex 740 which crashed during bios update and needs now to program the chip.
I downloaded bios from Dell but it is compressed in exe file and did not manage how to extract according to some methods that i found here......
Does anyone have a bin file or know how i can find it?
My model is Dell Optiplex 740 and M/B CN-OPY127-70821-6AR-90QX REV A02

Thanks in advance

Try this file, there are two BIOS inside 4Mbit and 8Mbit
Depends on what BIOS chip / version you have.
This is extracted from O740-222.exe using HEX editor.
This is untested...

You are welcome, was it the 4Mbit or 8Mbit file you used? (To know which one is tested good now)
Also when you have the ability can you check if it is SLIC 2.1 or SLIC 2.0 using SLIC Toolkit from mydigitallife?
