latitude E6530 - no bios update possible

Hi, my problem is:

Dell Latitude E6530 (win7),
when trying to update the bios from A9 to A16, nothing happens.

The bios updater seems to do what it is presumed to do (no error signs), then the computer restarts, and the bios is the same old one (A09), instead of the A16 that I am trying to install. I also tried the other bios versions available online (A11, A12) but all do the same thing.

I tried it with a bootable USB key, or from within windows, as it is described in various posts here in the forum, or in the dell support text. It does not work either.


is there any solution for this?

Thank you in advance!

Hi horia_m,

I’d advise that you load defaults in the BIOS and then try updating the BIOS. Please follow the steps mentioned below to load the BIOS to defaults.

  1. Reboot the computer.
  2. When prompted during POST, press the key to enter the setup screen.
  3. On the System Setup screen, press the key.
  4. Press the key on Yes to Load Optimized Defaults and restart the computer.

OK.. so I am having BIOS upgrade issues also.  Will not upgrade at all.  Current version is A02 and I have tried to upgrade through windows 10 GUI and I also made a freeDOS boot USB and tried that way and still the upgrade..  I have tried A03, A07, A09, A14 and still will not upgrade.

Please advise
