Insprion 5755 Bricked BIOS
An Inspiron 5755 crashed while running a BIOS udpate (from A08 to A12). None of the solutions that work for some Dells work with this one. I called Dell but they won't tell me the price to reflash the BIOS. There's a base $39.99 to arrange shipping for them to then look at it and provide a price. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea how much they tend to charge to reflash a bad BIOS? Thank you. |

Here is some info I found on Dell's site ***** Hopefully this will be some help as I figured this out on a customer's bricked Dell Inspiron 5755. Assuming the procedure should be the same for the 5455, 5555 and 5755. The key I believe was renaming the BIOS files to AAL12 Step by step: Download A12 Bios (latest) from Dell from this link: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us...driverId=XGT4J open a cmd prompt, navigate to your download folder and from an admin cmd prompt run the following: 5455A125.exe /writehdrfile 5455A125.exe /writeromfile rename the downloaded .exe and newly created .hdr and .rom files to AAL12.exe, AAL12.hdr and AAL12.rom place above three files (including exe) onto a FAT formated (not FAT32 and not bootable) usb drive. remove battery, unplug ac, insert thumb drive into left USB port (same side as charger) hold down 'End' key while inserting AC adapter make sure to get activity light on USB drive (no power if on right USB ports) wait ~5 minutes, it will shutdown automatically power on and cross your fingers Good luck!
