Hi @werty
I update the BIOS on my Inspiron 1545 laptop by simply following the instructions on this page which is basically the following bearing in mind that it is a BIOS and not EUFI!;
The file 1545_A14.EXE (is the latest BIOS) is using the Hard Drive format and is designed to be directly executed from Windows
- Click Download now.
The File Download window appears.- Click the Save button.
The Save As window appears.- Select Desktop using the drop-down menu to the right of Save in.
- Click the Save button.
A progress meter moves as the download is completed.
If necessary, click X in the upper right-hand corner of the Download
Progress Window to close it upon completion.
Hope this helps.
NOTE: Shut down all other applications prior to running the BIOS update utility. The update utility reboots your system in order to get the new BIOS loaded.
Double click the Icon on your desktop labelled 1545_A14.EXE.The Dell Bios Flash window appears
- Click the Continue button.
The message Pressing OK will close all applications, shut down
Windows, Flash the BIOS, then reboot. appears.- Click the OK button.
The system will restart and the Bios Flash will be completed.
