Anil Kumar Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi All, I did My New Alienware 17x Main board BIOS recovery , I just Follow the this Link BIOS Recovery in case you brick your M17x R3 But I need to modified some STEP Like this:- Download the BIOS you wish to restore to, in my case Support | Dell US file name is AW17A11.exe Download the BIOS editor application Phoenixtool256.zip v2.56 from - https://www.sendspace.com/file/vebtct or Download Phoenixtool256.zip Use double click the bios EXE file (ie AW17A11.exe) to extract the BIOS exe to get the *.fd file in C:\Users\yourUSERname\AppData\Local\Temp\xxxxx.tmp and load it into the previous application(Phoenixtool256). It will tell you what the recovery file name needs to be. (Don't use Winrar to extract this BIOS exe You will never get *.fd file) Original Bios filename was VAS00A11.fd In my case, the A11 recovery filename was VAS00X64.fd Copy the file to a usb stick formatted FAT/FAT32 (I use 512 MB old USB STICK FAT32) Unplug the battery from your Alienware Plug USB stick into any USB port (because there is no eSATA port) Hold the "END" key on the internal keyboard and while holding plug in the Power cable. The fans will kick up and it will start reading the file and initiate the reflash. In My case There was NO beep But Alienware Main BIOS was flashing I have waited around 5 Minutes then Machine Automatically shut off and reboot about 1 time. So Crisis recovery Process was Successfully DONE for Main bios. System BIOS recovery Was done successfully Because I have recover my System BIOS (Previous Version A10) to A11 using Above Method.
