    Dell Latitude 5580 possible bios corruption

    Dell latitude 5580, motherboard cdp 80 la-e151p

    3 amber 3 white blinks. Dell website sais it's problem "bios recovery" and suggested solution "recovery image not found"
    (from here https://www.dell.com/support/manuals...e7a&lang=en-us)

    I try plugging charger while pressing ctrl+esc, machine turns on, nothing and after 20 seconds it gives 3 amber 3 white blinks again.

    Since ssd is replaced and had clean install windows, i've made a guess that "recovery image" is on disk and it's BIOS recovery image. Am i right?

    Dell claims that "Auto-Recovery is only available on BIOS Recovery from hard drive"
    https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/e...uter-or-tablet

    In case i'm right and lost the original hdd, how can i restore the bios while keeping the windows key within? (i have ch341 if needed)


    THE SOLUTION:
    Download from Dell site the bios for the specific laptop. Rename the exe file to BIOS_IMG.RCV and put it in a FAT usb.
    Plug the stick to the right usb port (in the left it didn't work)
    Plug battery.
    Hold ctrl+esc, plugged charger.

    Laptop turn on, post, run bios recovery.
