Dell 13" XPS 9343 BIOS A04 Keyboard Fix
There is new release or BIOS for XPS 13 9343 laptop. It did not fix repeating keystrokes problem for me, but I did learn a few things in the process of installing the firmware update.
Upgrading to BIOS A04
Download A04
go to download page
then apparently there are 2 ways to proceed
- Put file into /boot/efi and reboot
- make a USB stick.
Make a USB stick
-
Download FreeDOS USB image. I picked 256M version.
-
Use gparted to create fat32 partition on your usb
-
Use (kinda buggy) Setup Disk Creator to create FAT32 boot from the downloaded ISO file
-
Insert USB stick and reboot machine
-
Press F2 when Dell logo showes up to get to setup mode
-
In Boot options pick legacy and USB stick. Apply, Exit
-
Boot the disk, type to boot freedos, pick 4th option (no drivers), and execute the firmware update command.
-
Follow instructions
Unfortunatelly these steps did not save me from repeated keystrokes as I said.
