    Is the laptop under warranty? I have never flashed the BIOS on a PC not under warranty.

    Your bios is corrupted.
    Contact Dell to see if they will/can flash it.
    The chipset on the motherboard can be removed,however it has more problems than the do-it -yourself bios flashing process.

    Should Dell be held responsible for a corrupted BIOS downloaded from the official website?

    No.
    It is solely the consumer's choice to flash or not.

    When you removed the CMOS battery did you remove all USB peripherals first, remove the laptop battery, remove the CMOS battery then long press the start button to fully discharge any residual power & leave things for 15 minutes in that order?

    Hi Alex,
    sorry about my late. I don't know that you could fix your problem now, but I try help you.
    You need remove the Lan card (modular part on motherboard ), because you have a problem with UEFI boot. You can enter in BIOS, if the LAN part is unplugged

    RE: Latitude 3330 BIOS update failure







    Hy everyone,
    I fix this Bios Post error problem.

    1. Switch off the computer.
    2. Disconnect the AC adapter from the system.
    3. Remove the battery from the computer
    4. Remote HDD, keyboard, Palmrest
    5. Put out the CMOS battery
    6. Raise up the LAN/VGA part (2 screws)
    7. Take a USB keyboard, connect the AC adapter and press F2
    8. If you see the BIOS, almost finished.
    9. Put on The CMOS battery, and step in: System configuration / integrated NIC / Turn off "Enable UEFI Network Stack"
    10. Turn off and raise down the LAN/VGA part. Test Again. If everything is working you done.






    I hope, I could help you
    Regards
