Dell OptiPlex 360

BIOS .rar 494 KB Shared

BIOS firmware archive for the Dell OptiPlex 360 desktop, packed as a RAR of 494 KB. The name states only the model, so no board revision, chip type or version is given, and the dump should be inspected after extraction to see what it contains. Technicians use such an image to recover a board with corrupted firmware by writing the SPI flash with a programmer such as a CH341A. Read and save the original chip contents first, and make sure the image size matches the capacity of the flash chip fitted to the board.
