Preflashed BIOS Chips
Dell Vostro 1510 Laptop
Our example used a Winbond W25X80VSIG SPI Serial Flash EEPROM, relatively easy to change if you can. Although the machine still had a keyboard issue after the restore.
The issue involved the bottom rom of keys on the keyboard. They had all taken a hike to the left by one position. i.e the z became x
Other parts can be used in place of the Winbond part if need be. The laptop was easy to strip and the board doesnt need to be removed to complete the task. Although the laptop has to be virtualy completely stripped to access the mainboar and CMOS part
