Firmware set for a Dell Vostro 3500 that, judging by the name, bundles the main BIOS together with the KBC (keyboard controller, i.e. embedded controller) firmware in one 1.90 MB RAR archive. Having both images is useful when a board will not power on or charge properly, since a corrupted EC can cause these symptoms. Before flashing with an SPI programmer, identify which chip each file belongs to, back up the existing contents, and verify that file sizes match the chip capacities.
