BIOS Splash Screen

I am trying to get the original BIOS splash screen back since I lost it following a BIOS flash.  I found "splasha0.exe" in downloads but I wasn't sure about running it.  Does anyone know which splash screen download goes with the Inspiron 8200 and is there any risk of corrupting the BIOS? 

Thanks

I have some information about this on my SITE. Version A02 will work with your machine.  I also have some splash screens that you may want to use.

As with anything that programs the BIOS, you could have a problem that could affect your BIOS negatively.  But if you follow the instructions, you should not have any problems.

HEY Bay Wolf! Thanks a lot!  That was what I was looking for.  Now I am wondering if and how to change it or if it is removable.  Is there a site with BIOS information, how to upgrade, downgrade, keyboard commands etc?  I was reading about the Fn+F7, for instance, and I am curious as to all the options in the BIOS. 

Thanks again!

When you create the floppy disk using SPL-A02.EXE program, it will create a file on the floppy called splash.txt.  In there is directions on how to use the splash program.

Also splash ? will give you the command structures supported.
