BIOS archive for the Dell Inspiron 3162 and 3164, a RAR file of about 4.8 MB, with board number 15239-1 indexed under the Wistron scheme. The file name itself gives only the models, so check the PCB label to confirm the Wistron number and revision. Technicians use dumps like this to rewrite the SPI flash with an external programmer after a failed update or a corrupted chip. Read and save the original contents first, since they may carry service tag data, and verify the image size fits the chip.
