Dell Studio 1557 DAFM9CMB8C0 Core i7

BIOS .rar 1.08 MB Shared

BIOS archive for the Dell Studio 1557 on Quanta motherboard DAFM9CMB8C0, noted for the Core i7 configuration. The DAxxxxMBxx0 numbering identifies a Quanta-built board, here the FM9 project shared with the Studio 1558. At 1.08 MB the RAR likely holds a dump for the SPI flash, used when the system fails to post or the BIOS is corrupted. Verify the board number on the PCB, save the original chip contents with your programmer, and confirm the file size matches the flash capacity.
