Bios recovery - Dell Inspiron 530

Hi,

I have just unsuccessfully tried to flash my dell Inspiron 530 with Intel G33 chipset.

Does anyone have details how to perform a Bios recovery?

It does not seem to be trying to load from a CD or floppy. I have tried removing the cmos jumper. Also I have two CMOS jumpers, one for the password.

The Dell bios file is a .BIN - I seem to have the award bios, however there is a chip soldered onto my motherboard with a phoenix hologram on? Awdflash was happy to try and flash my system.

I have also tried to restore from a CD with the Intel .bio file.

Should I see any messages on the screen? My monitor just goes into powersave?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Chris

 

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, I have tried that, but my system does not appear to try and access the CD, or USB stick. I may try again with a floppy drive from another PC as this dell does not have its own floppy.

One Bios company (biosman) say they can't assist dell issues. Is it OK to flash them??
