BIOS image for the Dell OptiPlex 7040M micro desktop, packed in an 8.92 MB RAR archive and described as working. A full SPI dump like this is written directly to the flash chip with a hardware programmer when the machine will not post or the firmware is corrupted. Dell stores the service tag and other system data in the BIOS region, so read and keep a backup of the original chip before writing. Also check that the image size matches the capacity of the flash chip on your board.

Compressed archive — the usual wrapper for a schematic + boardview pair or a BIOS + EC set.
Back up your own chip before writing any dump, and match the full board number and revision. Flashing guide →
