Vostro 2520 i3 (dv15 MLK MB 11280-1)

BIOS .rar 2.90 MB Shared

BIOS archive for the Dell Vostro 2520 with an Intel Core i3, on the DV15 MLK Wistron mainboard 11280-1. Wistron numbering uses this five-digit code with a dash suffix, visible on the board silkscreen. The 2.90 MB RAR is meant for restoring corrupted firmware by writing the SPI flash through a programmer, either desoldered or with a test clip. Before writing, confirm 11280-1 on the PCB, back up the original chip because it keeps service tag data, and check the dump matches the chip size.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @Laptopdesktopbios. Enginerys does not host this file.
