Latitude 3190 BIOS Flash Update not working

https://youtube.com/shorts/hbScA1QsLog?si=5V3vm5qDvHtGrSn7 lines are like this btw

Hi

There are a few pre-requisites, EG: Not having BitLocker enabled.

However I would try to use any inbuilt DELL diagnostics,and/or note any LED patterns also.

The firmware isn't the issue - a bad mainboard is.

@anne_droid​ I dont think I can turn bitlocker off since I can't log in

@user_5f5906​ I even pressed the ctrl + esc keys and the bios recovery will not show up

@user_5f5906​ 

I have viewed your YouTube video. You see 'Preparing Automatic Repair' in your computer display as seen in your posted video?

Also, the problems started during or after a BIOS, driver or window update?

I know this question have been ask already, you tried booting into Dell Preboot menu to run Dell offline diagnostic?

If no, 

1.Power off computer. Remove all peripherals from computer such as printer, external drive or flash drive.

2. Power on computer, quickly start tapping F12 key continuously until you see Dell Preboot Menu. In the menu, select Diagnostic

Note: Please don't wait until for the Dell logo to appear, soon as you power on computer, start tapping F12 key continuously

@LSUFAN51​ yes it happens both on the loading and on the preparing automatic repair screens

It wasn't after an update, it just happened randomly. Maybe it's because I downloaded voicemod? But I have no idea.

I have ran the offline diagnostic and it did give me 2 errors. One was an 2000-0114 and the other was an 2000-8008 both saying 'unable to start application processors'

@user_5f5906​ 

According to Dell Reference table error code list: 2000-0114 error occurred during the tests that may involve the main system board of the computer. And 2000-8008 error code indicate the same as may be an issue with the mainboard. Solution; Update to latest BIOS

What is latest BIOS on the computer now? Do you know? I have read when you already tried installing latest BIOS with a flash drive.

@LSUFAN51​ my current bios is v1.35 and the newest version is v1.43. I have tried updating it, but the computer just powers itself off and doesn't turn itself back on, no loading screen no update bar or anything

I would try installing Bios version 1.37 or 1.38 onto computer. Flashing an older version (1.35) or skipping to the latest 1.43 sometimes does not work. If version 1.37 or 1.38 gets your computer up and running again, then you can install the latest version if desire.

I don't know if your computer support this in your Dell Preboot menu (f12 key) but it's information in video that might be helpful to you

@LSUFAN51​ nope, it still Powers off on its own. Even if I use an earlier update version

This is a very nice computer. It must be very frustrating for you to not get your computer up and running again. I was hoping that one of the later BIOS versions will get the computer to work normally. I would suggest contacting Dell Out Of Warranty and request a quote to get the computer fix again. Thanks for all updates and good luck on your search for a computer fix.
