Quoting Borg Number One

Hi.


Because of many people need help in modifying their BIOS, another persons and me decided to begin with:
DELL BIOS research.

But we 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 VGA BIOS from the DELL's Onboard graphics card.

In other words:
Built an image or a copy from your DELL BIOS and VGA BIOS.

How to dump the DELL BIOS.


1.)
Download the "Phoenix Winpflash Utility".
For example from here:
ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/util...sh-utility.zip

After this, install and run the "Phoenix Winpflash Utility".




2.)
Choose: "Backup BIOS only"




3.)
It sounds weird and crazy, but take any PhoenixBIOS update,
for example from acer:
ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/extensa_3000/bios/3a06_intel.zip
You can also take any other (256K/512K/1024K) Phoenix BIOS updates.


4.)
Extract and add the .wph file from the mentioned
example BIOS file: 3a06_intel.zip to the: "Specify new BIOS file" -field
and choose: "Advanced settings".



5.)
Then deselect all clickboxes and press Ok.




6.)
Now press: "Backup BIOS"




7.)
Accept the following message/ info dialog box...:



...and go on with backup your BIOS.

8.)
When backup process is finished...


...you sould see the BIOS dump...


Finally, you can send the BIOS file to me.
[compressed!!! (rar3 -> progressiv or zip ->both in/with highest compression)]


How to dump the VGA BIOS.
(VGA BIOS from onboard graphics card from DELL Computer)

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 VGA BIOS 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.
