Hi troel, thanks for your info about my query.. i know it's already there but the problem is the link on sendspace and mediafire was currently blocklisted here in china. I wonder if you can help and upload in rapidshare, megaupload, hotfile or ftp server?.. Thanks
TEST REPORT TO: Shakeyplace-sensei It looks that I was the first (unfortunately! ) to try the kindly cooked by you M65.EXE BIOS flasher for a Precision M65 (Sorry but I didn't find any posts regarding this Dell model while looking thru this thread) Thus, so far you have requested test results from the beginning, please find some of them as below: 1. When trying to run M65.EXE as Administrator (+ UAC is always off + Norton AntiVirus 2010 autoprotect is disabled) >> Windows Error Popup: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail. 2. When trying to write .ROM and/or .HDR files from M65.EXE to localize the problem by comparing with the similar contents of genuine Dell M65_A10.EXE flasher: DOS Command Prompt Administrator: Command Prompt Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002] Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\IE>cd c:\Users\IE\Documents c:\Users\IE\Documents>M65.EXE -writeromfile The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is in correct. Please see the application event log for more detail. c:\Users\IE\Documents>M65.EXE -writehdrfile The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is in correct. Please see the application event log for more detail. c:\Users\IE\Documents> NOTE! When doing the same as above with the genuine M65_A10.EXE > everything is OK! Is it OK to try to run your M65.EXE in DOS mode from bootable CD? ('cause as far as I know the genuine M65_A10.EXE flasher is same and applicable for both Windows & DOS modes) OR any other ideas? THANK YOU! P.S. Tested on Laptop: M65 >> Intel Core2 T7600 >> 4GB RAM >> Vista Ultimate x64 SP2 Genuine Dell OEM (originally shipped with XP Pro x86 SP2 but Vista x64 SP1 OEM installed & activated smoothly) BIOS A10 (Everest Ultimate 5.02.1856 Beta) info: Field Value ACPI Table Properties ACPI Signature SLIC Table Description Software Licensing Description Table Memory Address CFE8309Ch Table Length 374 bytes OEM ID DELL OEM Table ID M07 OEM Revision 27D80A10h Creator ID ASL Creator Revision 00000061h SLIC Version 2.0
I used the search button and I saw the Dell xps 730 However, my question is for Dell XPS 730 (X) Bios version 1.0.5 The one on the first page is XPS 730 1.0.6.(nvidia ) Thanks for your help!!
Bad news. I flashed xps 630i with the modded bios in dos. I Think i Bricked my board. Everything was going fine. Backed up old bios fine, Updated new bios fine then pressed f1 to restart. PC started fan were maxxed. And will not post. I can pull the bios chip from board, i just need to find a place in my area i can bring it to. PLCC Chip on mobo (SST49LF080A) Anyone in the Bronx,NY area have the tool to re flash? Or the name of the tool and/or a place that sells them to reflash the bios chip?
