    Im sorry about that, that sucks. Did you try one of the loaders first? or did you go straight to the modded bios option? Hazar and Orbits loader 1.2 worked fine on my dell inspiron 1520 laptop. I used their loader cuz i didnt wanna risk bricking my laptop like you did. That sucks if i can help in anyway let me kno.

    Could it be that he may have tried to flash an Inspiron 1535 with the Studio 1535 bios?

    Specification of the model is OK, but the hardware inside is little "fishy".

    Just to be clear.

    The bios itself was identical for both versions, only the flasher was different. I did read the posts that the windows version was hanging up and refusing to flash for a few people. I am very sorry this happened, I do not know what exactly happened on your machine different than the others that attempted the windows version, if the bios had flashed it should have worked the same only the flasher was different, the bios and hdr are identical in both versions. Several members were reporting several bioses were refusing to flash from windows, most of them had just required elevated priveledges (Administrator). The flasher was created with Dell's DCCU software. If the flasher refused to flash then it shouldn't have erased the old flash. Once the old flash is erased the flash software is committed and should flash the new bios. I am very sorry this happened.

    Maybe yours XPS M1330 isn't a crap, but his 1535 is definitely with defective motherboard.

    anyway people know what they do by flashing their modded bios,
    i knew my machine could maybe not restart but that's the risk.
    so if u have no premium garantee, so don't try it,
    it seems a lot of people that flashed their bios replied with good feedbacks.
    no one is putting a gun on your head and tell u : flash your bios man !

    i'm sorry for the person that got his 1535 broke but modding bios can go wrong sometimes and all modders warn u about this fact, especially with dell bios, if u look at the thread they warn u with a red message.

    update : did some people succeeded to mod the dell studio 1535 ? cause i dled the bios for a friend maybe i should not try to.

    Please don't try the Windows flasher, If you want I can re-up the Dos version, it has had at least one report of it working, there is a couple reports of the windows version refusing to flash, just hanging up (but not erasing or corrupting the flash) and unfortunately this case. Why this one behaved differently from the others that refused to flash, I don't know

    it's the dos version i have i think, there's the dell bios.exe with the bios.gz and the .bat file
    that's the dos one ? the file is called Studio1535.zip
    the windows flasher is the .exe u can start from windows then it reboots and flash ?

    yeah, that's the one I used, booted to usb stick and ran win7.bat.

    first boot after was slow as molasses with the bios progress bar, after that it was fine.

    The first boot is always slow after a flash, after that it can use quick boot mode and bypass most of the system checks..

    yep that's normal about the time it takes when the laptop reboots after the flash, was the same with my xpsM1330.
