CQ58-bf9WM Courrpted BIOS Compaq

I tried to fix my Compaq CQ58-bf9WM friends. First, I tried to see if it was under warranty. It is not the case. The warranty expired last month. An inspection further, I found that the hard drive was dead, because it gives the click of death. I tested on another computer just to be sure. I can't access all the data from the hard drive. Fortunately, I have a few Spears that I don't mind my friend with. I advanced and installed a trail of windows 7 on the hard drive and all was fine. I was trying to install all the drivers, when I started to update the BIOS. Now, it's the problem. I did not look closely enough and a windows update reset the computer during execution of the update of the BIOS. After reboot, the BIOS fails to detec of bootable devices even when the widows 7 disc is in the drive. I cannot start anything without getting this message now. I first tried to make a USB UEIF recovery and press WIN + B but the USB flashing only for a few seconds, stops, then caps lock flashes twice with a pause before she again this model. I guess that means corrupt BIOS flashers I know. I tried to extract the .exe file to get the sync .bin file and I put the 0169A.bin that I find in the current folder and I get nothing on reboot.  I tried to rename in 0169.bin and still nothing. I also read that I may need to put the current BIOS.bin and the BIOS.sig in the current folder for the BIOS to start the update. I tried using Phoenix Andy tool to generate the BIOS.bin and the BIOS.sig. Andy's Phoenix tool does not recognize the .bin file which comes from extraction. I can just be provided with the .bin and .sig file I need? I have all of the installation program, that I just cannot generate two files that I need. Is there an easier way? In the old days, I know I could have done a disk with the image on it, but it is not possible now. If there is another way that I'd be happy to try it. Thank you all anwser is useful.

OK I fixed it! The HARD death disc worked somehow :/ I was able to restore the image of the BIOS it and the computer working again. It's weird because the disk boot more and I was unable to extract anything of him as a second HDD, but apparently the HP_TOOLS partition was still in tact.

  • Computer does not start after the screen of the bios, Compaq Presario SR1023WM

    Ok. Trying to fix a friend's computer and seem to have met a strange barrier.

    Problem: The computer does not start after the bios screen.

    Details: When you turn on the computer, the compaq logo with intel inside is and has the < F1 Setup > and < F10 System Recovery > options listed as well.  And that's it as far as the computer becomes.  After that the computer just locked up, no work of buttons on the keyboard lights keyboard ect ect.  I tried the puree on the F1 key, as soon as I turn on the computer and I can handle so he can say * entering setup * but it freezes again after this point.  I already tried to eliminate the possible sources of the problem, removed all expansion cards, HDD and Dvd Rom module only disconnected, only memory (256 MB ddr 2700), power, vga and keyboard connected.  Ive also used the jumper on the motherboard to clear the cmos, hoping that would solve the problem without success.  I tried using a different memory stick and different memory as well...  Tried to use both a ps2 and a usb keyboard... Ive even tried pulling the rider for the protection of the bios password (even if she did not have a password on it, just try everything I can think of).

    The installed bios version is 3.1, and that's all that I know on the computer at this point, except that the website tells me to him.

    I'm basically at a loss on this one, so if someone feels scroll line-by-line of their brains on this one, I'd be very happy.

    I have a pretty strong understanding of computer repair, so feel free to give me something to try.

    If you need more information out of me, let me know as well.

    Try to clear the CMOS again but this time remove CMOS battery and hold the power button on a few seconds. Replace the battery, then try to start back to the top.

    At the back of the pc is the condition of the PSU led green or flashing?
