HP Elitebook 8440p BIOS

Hello

Last week, I checked the updates to the bios for elitebook 8440p of the of my father and I saw 2 different entrances, f.13 (2011) & f.50 (2014). Subsequently I have updated BIOS F.12 F.13 to without any problems.

I hesitated to update with F.50 because when I checked the F50 revision history, I saw that this goes back to F.21, nothing is mentioned about F.1* series.

So, is it safe to update with F.50 or is it for some other versions of 8440p (if there is)?

And if it is safe then why I see both F13 and F50?

Thank you.

I see, my bad. I remember seeing some people by the name of HP, so thought they were the HP guy.

If I understand correctly in order to get the support I need to have a guarantee, right?

If so, he has been out of warranty for years.

While you have anyhing in mind outside throwing the die with F.50?

No idea why two separate files from the bios? Do you share my concerns?

    Otherwise, the BIOS CMOS chip will be replaced to remove the password.

    The operating system BCD store may be corrupted, the hard drive has not, or you have a USB stick plugged into a port. There are a number of things that can cause this error.

  • How to reset the HP Elitebook 8440p bios admin password

    I bought this used and update the bios. It doesn't let me do unless I give him the admin password. How to remove the password?

    SOLUTION: This is what I did and worked like a dream. Contacted HP, told them the problem. They "rise of the case," took my info. The next day, I sent a file called SMC.bin. It is formatted specifically for my machine to match the UUID. A file copied to FAT 32 format USB key, started in accordance with the instructions of e-mail, password bios reset.

    I did it via the cat on the HP website.

  • EliteBook 8440p: reset Bios Admin password

    I bought an opportunity elitebook 8440p on ebay, which seems to work very well. The free update of winows 7 Windows 10 has been super cool, until a Bios update has been made available and it was obvious that the previous owner had put an ADMIN of the BIOS password.

    After that download the new bios, and then all sorts of other "soft pack" and has spent 24 hours trying to install the new Bios, it is now clear that this is not the case not anytime soon!

    Good day HP,.

    I have reset the bios on an HP Elitebook 8440p, but after that it will not publish. The lights on the keyboard flash market / stop abit, and then it reboots constantly with no photo.  I removed the battery, hard drive, tried other types of ram, disconnected the bios battery for a while (under the keyboard).  Sometimes it starts with no picture on the screen but fan is completely and stays on for a while.

    Any tips?

    This is to inform you with all professional like Probooks HP laptops or EliteBook stricter security that the consumer models infact they don't produce 'stop codes', the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the code is stored in a memory not volatile to remove the cell RTC resets not the password in this case.

  • EliteBook 8440p: problems of Expansion RAM HP 8440p

    I recently decided to upgrade the memory on my EliteBook 8440p. After reading the form of RAM required, I bought one of these: http://www.ebuyer.com/737970-kingston-4gb-1333mhz-204-pin-cl9-ddr3-sodimm-non-ecc-unbuffered-1-5v-me...

    Once the new RAM is installed in the expansion slot, Windows will not start and crashes just on screen "starting Windows." Then I tried a test of memory using the system BIOS diagnostic tool, but the laptop either hangs around 35% (I left it there for about two hours), restarts, or stops altogether. I thought that I would give to the system try, repair tool but which caused also just the laptop restart. Curiously, when I check the "System information" tab the system diagnostics, the two RAM sticks are detected with current and accurate information.

    I contacted eBuyer, they sent a replacement out there, but I'm having the same problem again. So, I thought I would try to install new RAM in the internal slot instead (under the keyboard), but now I have a BSOD during the 'Starting Windows' screen, give me code error, "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

    I read on some forums tech upward. One of them suggested runs what is called 'Memtest' at startup via the CD, I tried, but the laptop restarts only during the first passage of the test of memory (and of course some loops over and over again until I remove the CD).

    I'm starting to lose hope! Any help/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello:

    See this related post.  You must use a very specific memory in this model, or it won't work.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/RAM-memory-modules-that-actually-work-for-HP-EliteBook-8440p/m-p/5570634/highlight/true#M335108

  • EliteBook 8440p; DM1-3020us: 2x4gb 1600 MHz DDR3L works in Pavilion DM1 but not Elitebook 8440p? But both are supported than 1066 MHz RAM

    I have two Elitebook 8440p PCs that both run an Intel i5 520 m (although one of them has a discreet Nvidia NVS 3100 m, while the other does not and use the integrated graphics card Intel).

    I also have a Pavilion DM1-3020us with an AMD E-350 APU; It's the only other PC I own which takes SO-DIMM DDR3 modules.

    I just bought this Crucial DDR3L 1600 MHz 2x4gb hoping to use it with the 8440p without the graphics from Nvidia:

    http://www.BestBuy.com/site/crucial-2-Pack-4GB-1-6GHz-PC3-12800-DDR3L-so-DIMM-Unbuffered-non-ECC-lap...

    However, it causes crashes and BSOD as soon as he tried to start under Win7 64 bit on both 8440 p PCs.  Also when trying to boot Linux Mint 18 I empty a kernel panic, and run Memtest86 + just leads to restarting the PC within seconds.  Yet, I can navigate through the BIOS throughout the day and it will continue to work very well...

    But here's where it gets really weird - the RAM works perfectly fine in my laptop DM1 Memtest86 + and Win7 64 bit (I use it as I type this).  What's curious?  Because both the AMD E-350 and the Intel i5 520 m only support up to 1066 MHz RAM!

    The only thing I can think is that there is something wacky where RAM is unable to operate at 1066 MHz at 1.5V or is not able to run at 1.5V to all E-350 1.35v support (and 1.5V RAM so that the i5 520 m only supports 1.5V) which itself would be really strange that Micron (which actually manufactured the RAM) States on their website that their 1.35v and 1.5V RAM have actually the same die (a bit like mobile i7s quad vs quad I5S Office) and that both can operate at 1, 5V, implying therefore that the 1.35v product is simply a higher binning:

    https://www.micron.com/~/Media/documents/products/technical-note/DRAM/tn4114_ddr3_1_35v_1_5v_compat...

    Crucial live chat support, however, closed several hours for the day, so I thought I would at least make this post in the meantime.

    Hello:

    Please see this thread, and the discussion that I posted in this thread... and you'll have your answer.

    6550 b has the same chipset as the 8440p.  I posted the link to the site from NewEgg for the memory, you need to buy if you live in the USA/Canada in the discussion that I've referenced to the other person who had the 8440p.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/RAM-memory-modules-that-actually-work-for-HP-EliteBook-8440p/m-p/5570634#M335108

    There are several discussions on this issue if you want to find even more.  Everything is solved by specific G.Skill memory I posted.

    The extent of why it works in the dm1 and not the 8440p, the chipsets are different.  The Intel chipset in the 8440p doesn't support voltage DDR3L.  Comparison of AMD and Intel chipsets are like comparing apples and oranges.

    I also believe that the chipset amd in the dm1 is more recent than the chipset in the 8440p and promotes low-voltage memory.

    I have just return from memory and use the gift card on something else.

    I doubt that Best Buy has this specific memory.

  • HP EliteBook 8440p: memory modules RAM that actually work for HP EliteBook 8440p?

    Hi everyone again. I scoured these forums and others and can't find a definitive answer to the upgrade of my RAM memory.

    My system:

    HP EliteBook 8440p

    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 M640

    Professional Win7 64 bit

    133 MHz bus clock

    BIOS: HP 68ccu, worm. F.11 (2010)

    Dual core, hyper-threaded (4)

    (?) Mobile Intel QM57 chipset

    According to Belarc Advisor, I currently have a 4MB of RAM Samsung under the keyboard module. The second location is empty.  First of all, more memory RAM is not sold in the UK? I know that the computer is capable of 8 GB and the Kingston modules, I just tried to install were 4GB each.  Sticks of Kingston are 8 GB (2 x 4), PC3-10600, CL9, 1.5V, 204 pins SODIMM modules and they do NOT work on this laptop even if they should.

    Has anyone found the secret of exactly which modules memory will work with this specific model of laptop? It is issues of density? Problems of tension? Am I missing a driver. I have to sing the thing while I install memory?

    Seriously, any help at all will be appreciated.

    Hello:

    Please read this thread, and I posted the memory you need to NewEgg if you live in the USA/Canada.

    The 8440p uses the same memory as the 6550 b.
