Dell 1535 Bios Drivers

[EdvardasK]

Hi, I'm trying to install Dell Studio 1535 Bios drivers from A02 to A06 , but i get error : Error! The BIOS update could not be performed ,because a valid ROM image file could not be found . If can it be , because Windows 7 can't read this driver?

try downloading again

I downloaded this driver from official Dell webpage few times , but no changes... What would be if I try to install Studio 1555 Bios driver , but it is A08 ;/

Ed, the original A02 bios release for your Dell laptop was on 6/26/08. A03 was released 7/7/08, and A05 was released 7/31/08. The A06 version released 12/8/08. There haven't been any bios versions released for Windows 7 for that laptop.

If A06 won't install, you can always try one of the earlier versions listed on Dell's site. But bios updates should only be applied to address specific problems on your system. Dell lists all three of the bios updates for your 1535 as "recommended", and not as "critical".

This page Drivers and Downloads says to download the A06 bios update to your desktop, and then run it from either a Windows or DOS environment per the listed instructions. If you can't run it from the DOS environment, you could always flash the bios from the Windows environment. However, if the power is interrupted during the flash, that could render your system unusuable.

My suggestion is to start a new thread to describe the specific problem(s) you want fixed.

I had this same issue and it was because the program used to flash the BIOS expected a .WPH (the extension of my BIOS revision) to be BIOS.WPH and ONLY THAT...

Open the program and see the name of the file it is requesting...make sure the revision you downloaded is the exact same name

Thanks Zidane24 & jekeesl , I updated my Dell Studio 1535 Bios from A02 to A06 and all works great , now i have no problem with my Dell. Now my laptop works 100 % capacity.Thanks a lot.

Can you explain a liitle more for me. I am having the same issue. Do I change the file name of the bios update I downloaded? It is named 1535_A06.


I double clicked that file to run the bios update, but don't see the file name it is requesting. - just that i want to to update from A03 to A06 and then click OK to update and reboot.

Thanks

I have Dell Studio 1535 and the same problem, too. How did you succeed to update your BIOS from A03 to A06? Please tell me, thanks!

Thanks. Firstly, we can download a manager from this link. When I download and run the manager, it says that:

​

I download BIOS file from ftp.dell.com/*** (It is 1535_A06.exe) When I run the file, there is a window:

​

When I click the "Continue" buton, Windows restarts and when it starts again it says "Error! The BIOS update could not be performed ,because a valid ROM image file could not be found ." This is a problem which EdvardasK has had before. So, I asked him how he succeeded.

Thanks for your help. And EdvardasK, I am still waiting for your answer

Did you read the instructions?
Best done from DOS.

 

[mangacemal]

Thanks for your help.. Finally I succeeded!
Actually, I had run the BIOS update utility from a bootable usb disk before I wrote it, but it didn't work. Now, I tried again and it worked.
Thanks again...

I know this is an old thread but I've been trying to fix the same problem for several days now so I figured I'd ask on this thread. I tried creating a DOS boot CD by building an ISO file containing the 1535_A06.EXE Bios file and then booting from the CD but the Bios file doesn't show up in the file list after I boot even though I can see the file on the CD when I'm in Windows. I've tried creating several boot CDs following several different methods I found online but the Bios file never appears in the file list on the CD so that I can execute it.

EdvardasK, I get the exact same error as you when I try to update it from Windows 7 which was "The BIOS update could not be performed because a valid ROM image file could not be found". How exactly did you resolve this? All you indicated in your reply was that you were able to successfully update the Bios.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sam K ,welcome to the forums, why can't you the the bios .exe from windows? I'm running win7 and was able to upgrade the bios file of my XPS from within win7

Hi Sam K ,welcome to the forums, why can't you the the bios .exe from windows? I'm running win7 and was able to upgrade the bios file of my XPS from within win7

Thanks for welcoming me to the forums.

When I run the bios .exe from Windows 7 I get the exact same error as indicated in the OP which is "Error! The BIOS update could not be performed because a valid ROM image file could not be found." I've been trying to simply put it on a boot cd and run it from there but the file doesn't show up on the cd when I list the files using the "dir" command after the boot. I can see the file on the CD from Windows after I built the boot cd.

Here's what I did to try and make the bios .exe file available on a boot cd to execute.

1) Downloaded a bootable iso file (AllBootDisks ISO Image Downloads | AllBootDisks - Providing Free Boot Disks from MS-DOS to Windows XP.)
2) Opened the file in UltraISO.
3) Added the 1535_A06.EXE to the iso file.
4) Saved the file under a new file name.
5) Burned the iso file onto CD.
6) Boot using the boot CD.

Did you try downloading/installing directly from Dell?

Drivers & Downloads=

If you have something other than the Studio 1535 go to the driver home page and input your correct info.

Of course. I downloaded the bios file directly from Dell and then simply tried installing it (i.e. running the 1535_A06.EXE file) and that's when I got the same error that was reported by a few people in this thread.

Yes I have a Studio 1535 and I googled the bios update error and that's how I found this thread.

 

[marsmimar]

Sorry. My bad. I thought for some reason you got the driver from a 3rd party site other than Dell. Have you tried installing in compatibility mode?

No need to apologize. I really appreciate that you're trying to help me.

I didn't try compatibility mode. I'm going to try that now. Thanks.
