baudolino Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi everyoneI'm new to this forum but I think I read quite a bit about this subject but I didn't get it fully.Firstly, I want to program Alienware M15X R2 bios chip ( I can desolder it )I tried Universal Extractor/Winrar but failed. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutterbutter Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Try 7-Zip, sometimes it works better than WinRAR, as for programming a bios chip you're likely going to need an EPROM burner, (if you want to desolder it) but there are a variety of different chips out there...You could try to 'one-key' re-flash (aka blind recovery), -download a recent version of bios from the manufacturer-extract with 7Zip-find the .fd file (rename it to the recovery filename, different for different versions of Alienwares)-copy it to a clean FAT/FAT32 formatted USB-plug in into the eSATA port-then hold the END key while powering on-it'll beep a bunch of times and restart a bunch of timesI had no luck finding the recovery filename for your bios, maybe someone else can...

baudolino Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Thank you for your reply!I have a programmer and a hotair station for desoldering .What I'm having problem with is how to get a rom or bin file for M15x.I know blind recovery method ( I tried it several times on M18X R1)For this case, I couldn't have files extracted out of any version of it (ex;A03,A05,A08,A09) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
