    Is your actual CPU supported by the original BIOS?
    In other words, why did you have dsanke BIOS in the first place, thats is usually done to use unsupported CPUs, so is your CPU supported by the original BIOS?

    If you have a programmer, dump its contents and post here.
    But there seems to be a J FLASH1 and JFLASH2, so maybe you can indeed program both EC's via the keyboard interface, either putting a short into the JFLASH1 or JFLASH2 connectors.

    But still, try programming you BIOS with a working BIOS dump first before buying anything.

    Just use hex editor open your dumped file , you will found there are all 0xFF after 200+KB. The FLASH ROM has such capacity , but you don't need use all of it.
    So if the flashrom software only accept the file size equals ROM size , just append some 0xFF at the end.

    The BIOS chip is this one under the metal plate in the middle under the keyboard as well:

    [​IMG]

    I used a dremel to cut the metal, so you need to disassemble the WHOLE machine to reach it

    Its not the one you posted!

    The chip is well hidden under the metal plate

    Dsanke,
    Any idea about this?

    I have updated finally my 751dm2 with dsanke bios. It was very difficult as it started with black screen. We tried both rtx and dm versions but black screen. The cpu was 8600k, the pins were covered with kapton tape. We have also tried with two different gpus, 1080 and 1060, both with the gop modified vbios. Still nothing black screen :(After my friend (ex dell engineer) with debugger modified some cpu id lines in the bios, and after that it worked perfectly.
    So at the moment everything seems to be ok, however it is the DMx version, not the RTX version, and I am planning to buy a clevo rtx card (most probably 2070).
    Do you have any idea what could be the issue? I am afraid that we cannot fix with the rtx version bios hance the whole purchase would be useless. For the summer I planned to make a mobile gaming laptop as I travell pretty much every week.

    How do i disable the thunderbolt port? in BIOS settings?

    EDIT: Disabling thunderbolt via BIOS, makes the ports stop working, only can charge my phone.. no data access. Re-enabling thunderbolt, makes the port behave normally

    Guys,
    Could you help me where I can find more versions of 7xxDMx_RTX bios file? What I have tried resulted in black screen on my 751dm2. I might have luck with older/newer versions.
    Thanks in advance
