XPS 15-9575, BIOS 1.40, won't install, #2

I have a similar problem except I get no error message, it just doesn't install. Tried in Windows and via the F12 menu. I'm updating from 1.2.0.

Started your own thread.

 

Click my name and private message me the XPS 15-9575 service tag number.

 

* The AC power adapter must be connected to the laptop
* The laptop is not connected to any dock
* Disconnect all external devices (USB drives) from the laptop
* Download/Save the BIOS file to the Windows desktop
* Close all unnecessary software applications (Steam, Anti-virus, etc. )
* Find the saved BIOS file on the Windows desktop
* Right click the file and choose, "Run as administrator". Note, you do not need to "extract" the file. Just run it
* Follow the prompted instructions. The laptop will reboot on its own
* Once back into Windows, restart the laptop

 

What happens?

The service tag number you provided shows as being back at Dell with no warranty attached to it. From whom did you purchase this XPS 15-9575?

Hi, I downloaded the file again and did exactly as suggested but still the bios does not install.

I reboot the machine and the only difference is that when it boots back into Windows, the fans are on full blast. I have to reboot again to turn them off.

Thanks
