Alienware M17x R4 BIOS Update Issue (Please Help)

Based on your BIOS version, looks like you have got an Engineering Sample machine.

If my memory serves me right, you can use the blind flash to force update to production version.

I would suggest to start from an earlier version like A07, then up to A13.

Hi @umerarain90, welcome to T|I.

Run the FPT tool/DOS version from here bootable usb stick, all files included.

FPT_DOS, copy all files to the root of the USB stick.

Don't flash anything, just run FPT/backup.bat, Ctrl+Alt+Del to exit. So @svl7 can take a look.

dir
backup.bat

Thanks brother but actually I haven't done this before on any machine before. I'll be grateful to you if you can explain me step by step so that I can avoid any wrong step which may brick my machine.
