BIOS recovery

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02693833

If you are unable to recover the BIOS using the methods described in the document from HP then your choice is tough enough.  You can have the motherboard replaced by HP service center or use a BIOS company to replace the CMOS chip with a new chip flashed with a proper BIOS ROM file.

  • Corruption of the BIOS to the Satellite M40

    Hi all.

    I have an old laptop Toshiba Satellite M40 with damaged BIOS which of course does not start. TI powers drop down 3 sec after power, which means that it does not pass the test STATION. I understand various forum that it is not the competence of technicians ASP and I'm not ready to hear things like 'replace maother Board' of these guys.

    I heard talk about techniques that can reflash the BIOS in the CMOS memory using a floppy drive loaded with a version of BIOS.

    The computer is in pretty good condition, including a new 80 Gb HD and was working fine until I tried to update the BIOS. I think it should be fix and spend a few hours on it.

    Any ideas on the issue were greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I'm afraid that you are ready to hear just a positive thing or what. Are you here to have the real discussion or you want to hear a fairy tale. You wrote in your ad that the BIOS is damaged. I guess that you know very well what should be done with pieces of damaged equipment.

    How you want to reflash the BIOS if your laptop is running in only 3 seconds. Please be serious.

  • Satellite M40 - how to reflash the BIOS with the same version?

    Hey guys read the forums trying to find a solution for my problem. After that I reformatted the hard drive with the original CD every time you restart computer that wifi will go down, even if the switch is turned "on" and will not come on until you turn off manually and powered.

    The last time I fixed it by the BIOS update (newer) 1.70 this time I can't reflash BIOS since it's flash-based window and it verifies that I have 1.70. I reinstalled the latest drivers and software for all. I have searche too many old BIOS files if someone older mind Sending via 1.60, 1.50, for this computer would be nice greatrly it is M40 (PSM40E), it is the model with the video card Nvidia 6600.
    Or any idea how can I reflash 1.70 again?

    Thank you, Daniel

    Hello!

    Flashing the BIOS with an equal or older version is not possible. Therefore, you must go to an authorized service provider.
    Technicians can relfash with a same or older version.

    If you don't know where is the nearest ASP you should look on the Toshiba site. There you can search for it.

  • How to check the version of the BIOS is not damaged on Equium A60

    I have another thread in regards to IEEE 1394 host controller usually start and other strange questions for Equium A60.

    Regarding above, I feel THAT BIOS can be altered that I cut two pins to get rid of power according to the tried and tested instruction on another site, the BIOS password. Properly deleted BIOS password! Password requirement has occurred after that the computer is not used for a long time. Maybe the short circuit with a paperclip to cause corruption of the BIOS? Computer note seems to maintain time and date so battery CMOS OK?

    Can I reflash the BIOS or require special equipment? Any help appreciated more

    Hello!

    Why would you say that the BIOS is intact?

    If you have downloaded the BIOS Toshiba it s not intact. Toshiba doesn't offer these BIOS versions, they would be tested before.

    The BIOS (for example with an older version), you can reflash t. This can make an ASP (authorized service provider). If you wish, contact your local ASP. Only, they know to do this and will not get such textbook because it s a user to user forum.

  • Windows 8 fingerprint reader no longer works (need to Flash the BIOS to fix)

    I have a DV6-7014nr bought around September of 2012.  I have upgraded to WIndows 8 when it first came out.  I had no problem with the reader of fingerprints on Windows 7, but do not use for a long time.

    As the subject says.  I can run it for a few weeks (on Windows 8), and the fingerprint reader stops working.  None of the biometric devices are listed in the Device Manager.  If I try to load the driver, it does nothing, as if the player is simply not there the responsibility of the driver closes just (with no message).

    Peripheral Biometirc in the Panel control says there is no biometric device found and simplepass opens without the fingerprint reader recognized.

    The only thing that solves this is my BIOS which comes Insyde to re-flashing. It is noted in the setup of the BIOS relating to biometric devices.  I have just discovred that BIOS update solves a problem because there was an update that I applied.  Have to reapply the update of the BIOS to fix this seems excessive to us.

    Added March 29, 2013:

    I just re-applied the BIOS two days ago and already the figerprint teader plug working again.  I tried a hard reset (because I saw that as a solution previously, and it is easier and faster to re-flashing the BIOS).  Who has shut down, remove the battery, now the power for 30 seconds button, boot the system without the battery.  He has not fixed the problem and I can't even understand why the fingerprint reader keeps disabling.  A re-BIOS flash solves the problem, it seems that the problem must be with the BIOS software.  Oh I also had turned off the "Allow windows to turn off the device to save power" for the biometric device before he went kaput.  It doesn't stop of is suckier.

    There must be a better way.

    Thank you

    This tool can be found on the support Web site.

    If flashing the BIOS is causing this problem for systems shipped with a version of BIOS before 1.05 why is the tool not available to correct the problem?

    Better question is why was - this BIOS update published at all if it can cause a system to stop for 15 seconds during POST if you do not have the correction tool POST message as described in the release notes and the POST message?

    Hello! I am new to the forum and have som issues with my laptop.

    The system freezes and I rebooted the computer and now blink twice caps lock. The screen is totally black and I can't do anything. I read a lot on the net for a solution, but nothing has helped yet. I installed Support HP UEFI environment for a kingston 1gig memory and placed the bios (01894.bin) file in bios\current.

    [Platform_Check]
    Flag = 3
    PlatformName1 = AA
    PlatformName2 = BB

    I tried (both top/lowerlower) 0489.bin aa.bin bb.bin and also changes the ending at .fd file.

    I do not have the original partition on my hard drive so I can't restore frome there. I ordered a restoration of HP usb key, but it will take som time it happens.

    The pc seeks on the USB, but only for a few seconds and then the caps lock will begin to Flash.

  • Jet 7 Tablet 5709: HP Jet 7 touch screen does not work in Windows even if it works in the BIOS menu advanced starup

    Less than two months ago, I upgraded my HP Jet Windows 7 to 10. Over time some questions popped up (random apps that could not be opened, etc.) so I decided to do a full reset, deleting the files from the user. Once the 'install' process is complete he brought me to the initial configuration for Windows 10 screen, asking me my keyboard and language preference. He would not accept any contact entry. I rebooted it and he went to the advanced configuration where I could use the touch screen to do a complete reset. That has not changed anything. I found the info on the HP website and did a reset of the BIOS. That has not changed anything. I got an OTG cable, but was not able to get a keyboard work. I did, however, get a mouse works and has managed to create a new user and login. However, the touchscreen does not work in Windows. I was able to get into the settings and looked at the Device Manager settings. There was only a mouse driver listed under Human Interface. I also noticed a number of question marks in the subtopic of the processor drivers.

    I was able to use the OTG cable to try to re - install Windows 10 from a USB key. When a similar initial settings (language, keyboard) screen broke, I couldn't use the touchscreen. Later, I created a USB with Windows 8.1 thinking he might have a better chance. The same problem. He does not touch inputs. And with a key USB installed via the OTG cable, I can't launch a mouse at the same time.

    It is strange that I have not the problem in the BIOS or advanced startup options. It seems that there is a corruption somewhere, but how do I fix?

    Hello Moronihah,

    You did a clean install (delete all files and programs) the 2nd time you reinstalled Windows 10?

    That's what you need to do first.

    Then, you have to go to the HP website and install the drivers on your USB.

    Above all, you need to include the Goodix Touch Controller Driver and pilot, allowing Malta G-Sensor.

    HP Software and Driver Downloads

    You're using a hub 4 ports with your OTG cable? Which will allow you to use the mouse, the keyboard and the entire USB drive.
