Description
BIOS dump for a Dell laptop, distributed as a RAR archive of about 1.1 MB under the original file name "Dell Studio 1640 - VGA Nvidia.rar". The facts do not give a board number, revision, flash chip size or model-specific details, so confirm the exact board number and revision on your own laptop before using this file. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Always read and save the original chip contents first, so you can restore them if the write goes wrong.
