Re: need bios + ec dell xps 9570

I went back to the repair guy and he said that the other file he sent me was wrong, and here is the correct one... He said this was ripped the first time he started working on my laptop. I find it strange that it's only a 8MB file, I expected a 32 MB file. I called him about this and he said that the chip is damaged and the programmer could only read this. I told him that the programmer should recognize the chip brand/model and based off that read 32 MB nevertheless, even if the BIOS is corrupted and it's all filled with junk bits or 0xFF, but reading...

Re: need bios + ec dell xps 9570



Ok, can you point me to a guide on how to do it? I have both information.

Also, can you please tell me how you can say the BIOS I attached is for Precision 5530 and not XPS 15? I want to show the guy that he sent me wrong file, but searching for "9570" in UEFITool I can find many instances of text "Precision 5530 Coffee Lake-H XPS 15 9570" so... I can't understand why they're both mentioned (see attached image).


Thanks again for all your help....

Re: need bios + ec dell xps 9570



I am sorry I can't understand, can you explain?
Also, can i send your attached file to the guy and tell him to try and flash this one? I expect it doesn't have the windows license key and service tag though... Does it neet other modifications? Is it ME cleaned? Sorry I'm new to all this I'm just trying to understand everything and I just want my laptop back working......

Re: need bios + ec dell xps 9570



Uhm, the repair guy told me he extracted it from my XPS 15, can i ask you how to show him proof that he gave me the wrong file? So i can tell him to stop messing around...

Re: need bios + ec dell xps 9570



I actually managed to retrieve the dump of the bios chip, I am attaching it. Can you spot if there are any problems / repair it / fix it? Service tag is 158BQQ2. Thanks in advance....

Re: need bios + ec dell xps 9570



Unfortunately the repair guy who currently has my laptop isn't providing me a backup of the BIOS chip contents. Can I have a blank BIOS to at least check if the computer will return to life after a flash? Then I will try to recover the backup and edit the personalized info on the blank one. Thanks...

Re: need bios + ec dell xps 9570



Ok, I'll try to get it from the guy who currently has my laptop. Can you explain what do you mean by "Your DMI information is complete"? Thanks...

Re: need bios + ec dell xps 9570

Hi, I hope it's ok if I reuse this thread instead of opening another one since I need the BIOS for the same machine. I need the BIOS file for my 9570 with Service Tag 158BQQ2, if possible I'd like to have version 1.23.0. Also, would I need to modify it to include the Windows activation key before flashing it, is it correct? Are there any additional info related to my specific machine that I would need to edit into the "blank" BIOS? E.g. anything about hardware combination (my machine has i5-8300h and gtx 1050).

Unfortunately...
