Dell Alienware M17X R5 GROH2 SBVAS00 LA-9331P BIOS & EC

BIOS .rar 3.39 MB Shared

Combined BIOS and EC firmware for the Dell Alienware M17x R5, with the code GROH2 and the SBVAS00 project tag, on Compal board LA-9331P, in a 3.39 MB RAR. The Compal-style LA number identifies the board maker. Having both images helps when a board will not power on or the keyboard controller misbehaves, since the EC firmware can be corrupted as well as the BIOS. Flash each image to its own chip with a suitable programmer, after backing up the originals and checking that the sizes match.

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.
