Hello,

New service tag is B137GT2 ( Actual laptop has service tag of 5Y96DT2 - Dell Vostro 5481 but apparently they replaced faulty motherboard with this one from a Dell Vostro 5581 , new motherboard has a label of " Bucky/Bensolo WHL/CNL MB TVMHG$CA 17859-1 " )

Have no idea of original BIOS, it had a 2.5.0 BIOS when it came , upgraded to latest 2.18.0 and that's all.

Hope this helps....

Hello there,

I found here via Google search, I occasionally need help regarding BIOS files.

Hello there,

I got a Vostro 5581 which boots after waiting for tens of seconds and also having an issue with audio with "FW didn't get whatever" error. I found ME Cleaning guide pointed here but when I used MEAnalyzer it said version is unknown so I'm stuck at step 1. :/

I upgraded BIOS to 2.18 but nothing changed, so I'd appreciate if someone could provide proper file.

And is there a tool to upgrade Dell BIOS or have to upgrade via CH341A tool ?
