HP G72 - Bricked - USB BIOS restore problems

Hello!

I disabled the "virtualization" in my BIOS of my HP G72-a05SG. But once saved, it restarts and the NUMLOCK and CAPSLOCK lights flash 2 times, so, according to this site, the BIOS is damaged. And my HP_TOOLS partition does not exist on my hard drive.

So I prepared my USB with "HP-update BIOS UEFI ()" and "HP System Diagnostics (UEFI)" and follow the instructions in this. It is not back there, but the laptop to access the hard drive, the available USB drive all the time beeing, but nothing happenes, no beep, no video output.

My laptop is fully mature, or I did something wrong?

Can someone download his HP_TOOLS partition from disk hard so that I can try to recover the BIOS from there?

I appreciate any help!

Testificate

Fixed it myself using this wonderful guide (maybe this file naming tips are also useful). The HP BIOS update appeared and picked up the image of the BIOS of the stick. Yay!

  • ThinkPad W701 - deleted BIOS, USB/Esata mysterious problems before update

    Hello

    Yesterday I was supposed to tto try my new external drive esata, I had previously used with my EX495 homeserver, without any problem.

    But when I connected to the W701 it seemed that the connection has failed and the drive fell to sleep when I tried to write for her. When I used USB it worked perfectly and with the esata Server worked without a hitch.

    After trying some time, I decided to try the lacie updater and then a reboot. After that, all ports usb failed.

    I had already watched the Lenovo updateprogram and found some updates, so I ordered the computer with the trackpad and updated, but when the computer suddenly restarted and screen shows underscore flashing and that's it. After that, the screen went black and no longer lights.

    I it for 4-5 weeks now and after 1 week the Mo failed when defining new ram and has passed, there is now not yet - is there anything I could to, or should it return service?

    I did not help - Lenovo replaces the MB, at least this start.

  • T400 became a brick after bios update

    Update ThinkVantage told me that I had a bios update to do, last night, I started & went to bed. Full battery, plugged in, etc.

    This morning, I went down to my home office and attempted to 'wake up' the laptop, it was totally insensitive. Since he was about 8 1/2 hours to do the upgrade, I unplugged and jumped the battery to reset. When I went to restart, I got 3 beeps (1 long and 2 short).

    BRICK!

    Warranty expired last October (could not extend), now Lenovo tells me that I have to pay for the repair, could be up to $500 for a problem caused by the update of Lenovo.

    I read a post where you can put the CD bootable on a USB key & reflash the bios image, but maybe the USB is not bootable because I understand not anywhere with this method.

    Someone at - it ideas? I did the thing the cmos battery, but who did nothing else but a chance to blow the dust off the DIMMs.

    Any constructive help appreciated. Thank you

    I was contacted by Lenovo, and they're going to do a repair for my device.

  • Aspire driver V3 - 772 G Windows 8.1 USB 3.0 problem

    Hi all

    I bought my V3 - 772G 1 months ago about.

    Yesterday everything worked well and today, I noticed that none of the 4 USB ports were working (laptop was suspended since yesterday)

    No USB not connected, nothing. Key/mouse USB/hard drives /... does not work.

    I noticed that in Device Manager, I had problems with the ' USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver "that the driver was not loaded. I've seen people online saying to uninstall and restart the computer. That and once again no operation USB, Device Manager, the device with problems was now "Compliant Host Controller xHCI USB".

    I tried WITHOUT success to the following:

    -Downloaded ' USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver "Intel has failed (available only for W7) - Web site

    -Restart windows full - same

    -Disconnecting the battery and power for a few minutes, restarted - even

    -Remove all USB devices (hubs and so forth), restarted - even

    -Uninstalled all updates of 2 days before (to the point that I know that it worked) - pilot months before change - same result dates

    -Tried to search the BIOS to disable USB3.0 and put 2.0 - not found

    -Tried to get back to another restore - point na not work, complained that the disc is maybe damaged

    -Widnows run chkdsk/r several times - no error found - nothing resolved

    -Run chkdsk/r - stuck at 16%, but I guess that needs all night (TODO) - solved anything

    -Tried to do a repair without losing files (using recovery partitions) - always guess how

    Any idea or any help? They just stop working. I plug laptop already with windows 8.1 and they worked for 1 month

    Thank you

    -UPDATE1-

    I used the command-line (via recovery windows at startup) and copied all the files from backup drive (I assume) X:\Windows\System32\Drivers\usb* on the local drive C:\Windows\System32\Drivers

    Rebooted - still nothing

    [Solved]

    Here's what you can try:

    (1) ensure that the ntbtlog.txt file located in C:\Windows it is removed (to clean the logs)

    (2) to activate the startup log check which driver loading fails:

    Option A:

    (1) open administrator command prompt

    (2) write "bcdedit/set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy" to allow the start of legacy with F8 (don't forget to change the settings after this guide)

    (3) reboot and press F8

    (4) select this option to start with active log

    Option B:

    1) press "WIN + R" and write "msconfig".

    (2) in the Startup tab, select the option "Startup journal."

    (3) to apply the changes and reboot (remember to change the settings after this guide)

    (3) check the drivers failed in the log (C:\Windows\ntbtlog.txt) file (in my case I got "ucx01000.sys" driver failure)

    (4) after researching online (Source) I saw the USB3.0 stack consists of 3 files of accommodation with the xHCI Host Controller: Usbhub3.sys, Ucx01000.sys and Usbxhci.sys.

    (5) restart the laptop and press 'ALT + F10' to enter in the menu ACER recovery

    (6) select "Troubleshooting", then "Advanced Options", then "Command Prompt"

    (7) you will be located in the "X:" drive and the folder "system32" of the recovery unit

    (8) write "cd drivers.

    (9) "copy write Usbhub3.sys C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\" (if you are asked to overwrite, answer "Yes")

    (10) "copy write Ucx01000.sys C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\" (if you are asked to overwrite, answer "Yes")

    (11) writing "copy Usbxhci.sys C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\" (if you are asked to overwrite, answer 'Yes')

    (12) write 'exit '.

    (13) restart your laptop, and you should be able to use USB again

    (14) disable the startup option if you used Option B.

    In my case, the "Ucx01000.sys" file was missing in the drivers folder.

    Hello

    On how to solve the problem of Intel VT - X on the BIOS, even if I enable vt - x on the BIOS it doesn't allow me to install HAXM. So I decided to update the BIOS. My BIOS version was F.66 A.

I tried to install the F.66 A by downloading its download file, but does not have that, the update of the BIOS in the installer option has been disabled.

    Tried to install A F.66 via external USB using HP_TOOLS and create image files. But during the installation it management through Firmware utility, it says "Unable to BIOS Open File signature."

  • My office is bricked? BIOS help

    Nice day

    I recently got a HP Pavilion Media Center a1637c desktop PC

    Apparently bricks/FUBAR unit, because the keyboard and the mouse probably supporting Pre-os seems to be completely kaput.

    To be precise, the keyboard (ps/2) gets power, it's the lights blink a couple times when I turn on the computer, it - can - get into the BIOS Setup, but no details.

    I guess that USB support is disabled because my USB keyboard has given no sign of life at this point.

    He would have finished it if I didn't think it would work properly if an operating system, in this case a distro linux without a name started with a CD (hard drive removed to go directly to the boot of CD player, because it has been deleted before obtainance) authorizes my keyboards, ps/2 and USB work fine.

    So, fast forward to now and why I'm typing this, I tried many things, reset the CMOS to shout curses in front of my computer, nothing worked, I guess that the motherboard is fried, if it wasn't for the fact that all devices work perfectly once control of an operating system is not being...

    So I thought what the previous owner did something terribly wrong and the BIOS might just need to be reinstalled.

    Now, I found downloads on the main site, but what they offer is a windows-based update, this computer has nothing to do with the one who needs it, I found no way to simply upload the files to create a disk for my HP desktop computer, the program that I downloaded from this site gives me two thousand warnings and generally States that he will actually destroy my computer instead of me give an option 'Download now' including the mentioned page would grant me my files.

    I am doing something wrong with the exe found here?
    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-56162-1&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&...

    Or is the download option a terrible lie?

    See I can't use the windows utility because I do not have windows and I can't install windows because that the utility could fix just is what would allow me to get windows. Nice huh?

    Thank you for reading this wall, I'm not known for brevity.

    It's done.

    Used the ASUS flasher and 3.10 of the site file.

    Successful, update does not solve my problem, past too long at the HP splash screen so I think that the power supply could also have a problem, at this point I just stripped of everything and she dumped.

    Well I walk more knowledgeable, with a DVD burner and a DVD player, free of charge.

    Thanks old man for the supply of good help.

  • Satellite Pro m USB devices connection problems

    Hello visitors and insiders.

    can someone help me, please? - or are the causes of the problems of programmed BIOS is not perfect?

    I put on the USB Ports (I tried all 3 Ports) after correct installation of the most recent drivers for devices and the BIOS and chipset.
    I tried MAGIX encoder by USB and PINNACLE for USB encoder - both signal-request-problems and the two could not shut down the system after connecting with USB and close with her current for USB device.

    I tried this on different WinXP installiations (multiboot) - but on all systems even.

    The same reaction has been, as I have connected a special CUSHION cooler for laptop with additional USB Ports.
    The CUSHION cooled - but the USB Ports do not work for all devices (devices I am familiar with the)
    Ports of origin of the laptop, has failed to TRIM, too). (worked directly devices: mouse, webcam, keyboard, drive hard usb)

    What should do? .. If anyone know Somethin ' help... I will be very happy.

    Thank you very much!!! (Sorry for my English is not perfect)

    Ben

    Is what model of laptop exactly?

    Have you installed Windows yourself? Or it was preinstalled?

    Looks like it's a software problem, bad drivers USB can at fault.

    You are able to back up your data and run recovery?

  • A40 USB 2.0 problem?

    Hi, I just started using an audio interface Behringer USB 2.0 with my A40, but computer crashes quite often (blue screen displays a similar to BACK for a moment and then restarts) a friend told me, he might have something to do with the USB 2.0 drivers? Does anyone have any suggestions? And how you improve the drivers, if that's the problem...?
    capcapcap

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know if you have the same problem using some other USB devices. I can't imagine that it can be the problem of USB. As much as I know there is no update. You can delete all the USB ports in Device Manager and reboot the laptop and all ports will be recognized again. After that, you can try to use it again.

    You can also try a BIOS update.

  • Satellite P100-387: VT is not available & USB flash boot problem

    Hello world

    I bought this laptop, but I am very satisfied with the following functions:

    Processor supports VT (virtualization technology), but in the bios is not the option to enable or disable and tools like securable (grc.com) or other show that this option is disabled.
    I check the version of the bios. My is last, but I try to find any information on the web from the seller of the bios and there is tool for verification of the bios.
    With that, I discovered that my bios is not the last and I pay $ 38 for access (3 months) to the new version.

    I can't boot from the flash drives.

    I think on netbook and on the first time I thing about toshiba nb 100.
    But now, I'm not sure it's the right idea.

    Do you know how to solve this problem?

    Celebril

    Hello

    Regarding booting from the USB flash key
    As far as I know this option is not supported by the BIOS, then you will NOT be able to boot from a USB flash key.
    In this case, you could start from ODD, HARD, LAN and USB FDD drive

    I had a hard drive failure partial who gave no symptoms or errors except a VERY slow start-up and operation.  I tried to do a restore of the entire system of my Home Server 2011 backups to see if, perhaps, just the image was corrupt.  USB was created and all drivers copied from pilots for the full system restore folder.  Has started the full restoration of the system and loaded the missing NETWORK adapter driver by using the scanner for drivers.  Driver support was successful but no lights NIC and the message "cannot find server".  NETWORK card was working fine before, even with the bad hard drive and also after the abandonment of the restoration.  Installed the new drive hard C:-System and that was the main problem, BUT..., the later to restore attempt was always the NIC starts not problem.  Tried the driver directly at Gigabyte support and drivers drivers for the full restoration of the system of records from several different backups.  No love.  Just NIC does not start after the specified load successful pilot.

  • Pavilion DV7-3060us: BIOS restore file "not a win32 application invalid" (Pavilion DV7)

    I have an intermittent (about 19 times out of 20) on a Pavilion DV7-3060us BIOS failure.  After that you press power, the fan and the light turns on, the screen remains black and lock/num lock flashing twice, pause, flash twice, etc..  Sometimes, the computer will boot normally to Win7.   Near as I can understand, I need to reflash the BIOS.  I downloaded the image file winflash/BIOS (SP47531.exe) the drivers and software page, but when I try to run it, I get a "...". not a Win32 valid request"message.

    Any advice on how to get this file to run it, or another method to solve the failure of startup issue, would be very much appreciated.

    So much worse... apparently the problem is I downloaded the file through Chrome.  Downloaded with IE on another machine, recorded on a USB key, it connected the USB on the machine of problem without difficulty.  Does not seem to have solved my problem starting, but the 'valid not a Win32 application' error has been resolved.
