How to reset a custom BIOS Splash screen to the Dell Splash Screen

Looking to revert to the default Dell BIOS splash screen from a custom logo?

Some companies that purchase Dell computers use customized BIOS logos that, for example, show their company logo rather than the default Dell logo.

You may want to revert to the default Dell logo for any of the following reasons:

• You are troubleshooting and want to determine whether something is wrong with the custom logo.
• The company is looking to sell the computer.
• You want to revert the logo back to the default Dell logo.

To revert the BIOS logo to the default Dell logo, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest BIOS update for your particular computer:

   1. Go to the Dell Support site.

   2. Type in your Service Tag or Express Service Code. Alternatively, go to product type and select your model.

   3. Go to the Drivers & Downloads drawer.

   4. Ensure that the correct operating system is set.

   5. Select BIOS from the Category drop-down menu.

   6. Download the latest BIOS update to your computer.

   7. Note down the address of where you saved the update to.

2. Open an elevated command-line window:

   1. Right-click the Start Menu Icon.

   2. Choose the Command Prompt (with Admin rights) or PowerShell Window (with Admin rights) from the power user menu that appears.

3. Use the following command to navigate to the location of the saved BIOS update file:

   C:\[directory where BIOS is located]\[BIOS update file name].exe

4. Add the parameter /DellLogo to the end of the address and press the Enter key:

   C:\[directory where BIOS is located]\[BIOS update file name].exe /DellLogo

5. This runs the BIOS update and reverts the logo back to the default Dell logo.
