Hi.
For DELL BIOS research I need your help.
If you have a DELL computer/mainboard/notebook with an onboard graphics card then you are really important.
What you can do to help.
Dump your DELL BIOS and the VGABIOS from the DELL's Onboard graphics card.
In other words:
Built an image or a copy from your DELL BIOS and VGABIOS.
How to dump the DELL BIOS.
1.)
Download the "Phoenix Winpflash Utility".
For example from here:
ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/utiliti ... tility.zip
...and install it.
2.)
It sounds weird and crazy, but take any PhoenixBIOS update,
for example from acer:
ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/noteboo ... _intel.zip
You can also take any other (256K/512K/1024K) Phoenix BIOS updates.
3.)
Run WinPhlash for Windows, extract and add the .wph file from the mentioned
example BIOS file: 3a06_intel.zip to the:
"Specify new BIOS file" -field.
4.)
Choose: "Backup BIOS only"
5.)
Choose: "Advanced settings"
Then deselect all clickboxes and press Ok.
6.)
Now press: "Backup BIOS" and send me the backup file.
(compressed!!! (rar3 -> progressiv or zip ->both in/with highest compression)
How to dump the VGABIOS.
1.)
Download and unpack:
http://bnobtc.pix-art.com/bnobtc-files/dumpvgabios.rar .
Now, with the help of the .exe or .img file you can build a bootable disk which dumps the vgabios to the floppy disk while boot
or
you unpack the .dbg & .bat files to your desktop and run:
all .bat-files.
After this you should see:
-vgabios.bin
-vgabios2.bin
-100000.bin
on your desktop.
Compress/pack them with winace, winzip or winrar or... and send the files to me too.
