still says invalid command line parameters please verify the program was executed properlyIn the command prompt, try running it with the parameters /help (or -help). That should print out the available arguments you can pass to the exe, hopefully one which will allow you to bypass the battery check.
can your laptop run without the battery?
see if that bypass it. lol just make sure your power stays on.
There are tools for extracting the BIOS file from the exe for people who run linux. You may be able to flash that way.
it is an .exe file i create a short cut and tried to do as you suggested but still gave the message
idk if it makes a difference but in running [HIGHLIGHT]vista[/HIGHLIGHT]
as i said before im running Windows Vista & yes i have a battery in my laptop the system sees it but will not recognize it as a dell battery. its the same battery that came with the system
They don't mean to imply that you are running linux, rather it is possible through linux. You might be able to burn a live cd version of Ubuntu and then flash your bios within the live cd environment
<DELLBIOS update program.exe> -writeromfile / -writehexfile / -writehdrfile
i dont think ill try thatThat's what I did. All every bios updater file I've seen so far is a package file, and has the bios file in it. I flashed the bios file using I think coreboot's tool. You can pretty much just extract it in GNOME, which is the most common one, then flash it.
What would be safer though is to extract the bios file then flash it using AMIBIOS's Flasher. It's a bit more risky that way because theres [HIGHLIGHT]human factors so just be careful. If it fails using this method never ever ever restart[/HIGHLIGHT]. If your PC has dual-bios then you really don't have that much to worry about.
if u want to see it heres a download link 1525_A17.EXEMind uploading the bios installer?
You could also try one of these three command line options:<DELLBIOS update program.exe> -writeromfile / -writehexfile / -writehdrfile
what does it mean by reboot useing reboot.exeThis option writes the contents of the flash BIOS header (.hdr) file to memory. During the next warm reboot, BIOS will flash this image as the new BIOS. The system must undergo a warm reboot using <CTL><ALT><DEL> or the REBOOT.EXE utility in order for the upgrade operation to complete. For more information, see "Obtaining a Flash BIOS Header (.hdr) File."
Example:
A:>biosflsh -f PE1650.hdr
Please reboot the system using reboot.exe to update the BIOS.
