Thank you so much! I've been researching how to do this for 1 hour or more, but I find your video and I was able to update my BIOS without my battery. Great video!

[@hardycious]

This procedure actually worked on a Dell Inspiron 3437. I was able to flash the BIOS from version A02 to A12, which is the latest available for my laptop model on the dell website. Thanks, great video.

[@intuitivemindfulness9002]

Well done man, its exactly what I was looking for :) Been banging my head for hours trying to get the damned bios updated. Bought a new battery and charger but battery arrived discharged so was a real bitch to solve. My issue started with no charging and progressed to problem solving each individual roadblock until bios was the only thing left. Thanks again, job well done.

[@leerasmussen2523]

Thanks so much for this video! Your instructions were easy to follow and I was able to update the bios on my Alienware!

[@cozzyinternet4706]

Mate!
why did I not find your channel earlier?? hahah
this has really helped me with an old E6410 I've got......
GOD Bless you, your family, and your work!!! :D
cheers!!

[@MyITWorkshop]

Hi Diana,

[@rylanclarkson3296]

[@denzilabrahams4321]

Finally a solution that actually worked. Thank you!

[@WasimMhaskar]

It worked for my Dell N4050, thankyou so much

[@KijikWolf]

thanks a bunch! Worked on my old m4700!

[@lanikor]

Thanks man, i had to do this as a workaround to fix black screen of death on Dell N5050 and in my absence of experience with BIOS flashing with Rufus i tried to load BIOS like i was loading ISO for bootable Windows USB instead of copying to the USB drive after the FreeDOS flashing part. Anyway, if anybody else experiences black screen after the Windows logo loading screen, flashing BIOS to A05 version is the way to go.

[@havoc2latheproducer652]

Thanks a lot...it worked for me!! My old latitude D630 was not compatible with windows 10 but it does work now.

Amén you have done my day it is 4 am and you was the only one on Web that realy helpme like and subscribed thank you for you tutorial video

[@investjournal]

That is a lifesaver! My laptop has no battery and uses a 3d party AC. 'Official' way to update bios is interrupted by the error "connect battery blah-blah-blah".
I created a Free-Dos USB drive with Rufus, put the latest BIOS firmware in the root, restarted, added /forceit and voilà, my DELL 5420 features latest (and last) firmware A14!

[@hanookshan]

[@stargamewolf1489]

Thank you 💓 you are a hero

[@PapiCharliePab]

I love you mate, I did it on my dell n5110 cause it has a06 and now a011 due with win10 the laptop screen wasn't turning on after the password screen, only hdmi worked with bios a06 and now with a011 or a11 I don't remember very well if it was with a 0 before or not. Anyway if somebody has that issue just update your bios! Thanks mate again! :)

[@thegorgious7813]

this method is work on every dell laptops who's not update bios without batteries or low batteries
thanks for nice sharing . . . .

[@MyITWorkshop]

Hello The Gorgious,
Thanks for the comment!

[@raksha2026]

I have a dell studio 1558 and I am trying to update the latest bios version A12. However, as can be seen in the video, the file downloaded from the dell website was of format "Windows/DOS". But, in my case the format of bios file is "ZipPack" which means that the required files needs to be extracted in order to run. This ZipPack file does not run from the FreeDos, and neither do the extracted bios files run. I get error saying " This program cannot be run in DOS mode". Any ideas from anybody?!?!?

[@darkpurplewings5044]
