BIOS .rar 12.1 MB Shared

RAR archive with a 32 MB BIOS image for the Dell Alienware M18 R1, also listed for the M16 R1, board number 213194-1. That number format follows Wistron numbering, the ODM behind this design. A 32 MB image matches a 256 Mbit SPI flash chip and can be written with a hardware programmer to recover a board that will not post. Back up the original chip, which holds service tag data, and confirm the board number on the PCB before writing.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
