Phase 1. First of all you have to download the correct firmware from Dell Official Website: or Download N5010A15.EXE Use Windows Command Prompt (run as administrator) to extract the required firmware files.

C:cd Downloads C:N5010A15.EXE writehdrfile C:N5010A15.EXE writeromfile Rename the newly created N5010A15.HDR and N5010A15.ROM files to N5010.HDR and N5010.ROM.

Format an USB thumb-drive to FAT and copy the N5010.HDR, N5010.ROM files on it.

You do not need to create bootable USB drive.

UPDATE: most of the time I hear feedback about this method people add a comment that they formatted their USB thumb-drive to FAT16 as the FAT32 file system did NOT work.

Phase 2. Shutdown your faulty laptop if is is still running with the black screen.

Remove the battery Remove the CMOS battery Disconnect the power supply.

UPDATE: According to the feedback on this method most people use the left USB socket, as the rest of the USB sockets might not functioning at this state.

Note: There are few cases reported about not active USB ports.

Use USB drive with activity LED if you have one, the blinking LED will confirm that the system reads data from your USB drive.

Phase 3. Press and keep hold the END key on the keyboard for your faulty laptop.

After a few seconds your faulty laptop will start itself and will re-flash its corrupted BIOS and automatically reboot.

A USB drive with an activity LED can confirm that the BIOS flashing process started.

The complete re-flashing process will take no longer than 60 maximum 90 seconds.

WARNING I am taking no responsibility of any damage caused by the following NOT TESTED procedure.
