Firmware package for the Dell Inspiron 3501 intended to fix a TPM error, supplied as an 8.75 MB RAR. It most likely holds a modified or clean BIOS image that clears the TPM fault shown at startup. Technicians write such images to the SPI chip with an external programmer. Read and save the original chip first so service tag and other identifiers can be restored. Check that the image size matches the flash chip capacity, and confirm your board matches the 3501 platform.
