HP Pavilillion DV6700 is: restoration of the BIOS

I need to restore my laptop bios. How can I get or create a copy of the bios that will boot and load it on my computer? The computer don't would not boot from its system after my restore attempt failed. Now the computer will boot from my external usb 3.5 floopy drive. The 3.5 system provides only a simple back system that seems to only access the a: drive. The computer does not start dvd discs of recovery, I did and I've used successfully before for recovery. I have no day bios in the past. I had kept the computer updated before its failure. Help, please. Thanks, Katrin

Thank you very much. I got the BIOS to Flash this weekend with your help. The link you sent that refers to the file maintenance SP opened the system to accept and execute the flashing Phoenix program. I am able to access and launch the restore disks. I keep all my documents on a separate partition and save it once a week on an external drive. If nothing is lost in the accident.

I kept getting immediately "BIOS don't update not for your laptop" when I want to boot from USB and run the executables from extracted files MS. I tried all the eleven listed HP download extractable files and received the same message. Then I booted from the USB drive and set the maintenance file, which linked you to, on the hard drive. It linked the command prompt (which is what I use,) without any text field or display image for about 5 seconds and then returned to the guest. I then tried the F.33 (last updated) as before running the executable version. But this time, after that I had to run your application of maintenance related, the Phoenix ran with a display of instructions frame. I followed the instructions and the program displays a frame that identified the existing version BIOS, F.25, with date and time and the version I try to Flash. I checked and a new framework said the version was not for my laptop, but I had been not as managers see. I then extracted and ran the F.25 version A, the Phoenix program ran and identified as before, but I got the same pitch for my message of the laptop. So I ran the F.25 executable version B, the Phoenix program ran, and after that I checked, the program flashed the BIOS! It sounded good with the computer coming and all fans.

I hope that HP will publish viable BIOS recovery processes. I had to go through many trial and error, and the problem of BIOS now seems to be common with applications for system restore. In this case, my computer shutdown in the middle of a restore because I forgot to plug and the battery died before the restoration is complete. My brother recently tried a restore after the execution of a Service Pack 2 update on our old computer XP, and who took out the BIOS. But we found an old 3.5 floppy in his drawer, under her Pajamas or something, someone had created years ago. It is bootable and had a BIOS update executable that took place without any problem to restore the BIOS.

Thank you very much for your time and your help. I'll participate in this community to help others. Take care, Katrin

    So I've updated my bios, insyde f.42 and temperatures of the cpu, motherboard and gpu increase 10-15 ° C on average. This is not acceptable, which explains why im trying to do a bios recovery.

    Unfortunatally this procedure does not work since the update of the bios screen does not appear:

    If you were able to update, the previous version should already be in a folder in the C: partition.

    You can download the BIOS versions from the driver download section free service portal support for your laptop. There are three or four versions in the section of Windows 8.1 driver.

    My Qosmio x 500 has worked (from the point of view of cooling), until I made a very big mistake. I did upgrade the BIOS to version 2.9 of the official website of the Toshiba and now my laptop stops in games after 5 min. Before this update, I had no such problem. I'm so very shure it's this BIOS version error.

    Hello

    This BIOS downgrade option you want to say is not possible as on Toshiba site only the most recent version can be downloaded. Latest version of BIOS is also the most stable version if BIOS downgrade is not important.
    It is possible to the ASP.

    I can t imagine this new version of BIOS is causing this problem.
    You use the pre-installed Windows version with * original * Toshiba display driver (nVidia no)?
    Do you have a performance maximum cooling option in Windows power options?

    The latest BIOS for the HP EliteBook 745/755/725 G3 made reference to a 'restoration tool electronic Label' to remove a MESSAGE error after flashing the BIOS to 1.08.

    According to the release notes: "NOTE: for systems that do not comes with BIOS version 1.05 or later, this utility may be required if the BIOS has been updated.» Visit the page of the BIOS and drivers on www.support.hp.com and follow the instructions using the Restore tool from HP on the electronic label. »

    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?

  • Restore complete PC - either does not start or before restoration, said "the disk is defined as active in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    I am trying to restore an image backup Vista 64 is 428 GB, the drive under restoration is a Velociraptor 2x300GB RAID 0 (about 558 GB under Windows), and the drive on which the image originated was is labeled as a 750 GB drive (actually about 698 GB / 433 GB used). When I first made the attempt I got some message on the target drive, have to be cleaned by diskpart, so I did. After that, I was able to complete the restoration - but after the restoration, at startup, I get the message:

    "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected bootable media and press a key.

    And under Windows, the drive does not appear. Disk Management displays the disk as unallocated space. So I added a new Simple Volume and then tried the new restoration. But now I get the message:

    "The drive is set as enabled in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    Even if the restore completed successfully after cleaning, the drive is empty, and the player has more than 100 GB more space than the size of the image. After the restoration after the own, why can't it detect the boot sector; and if I try to restore after formatting, why do we say that the disc is too small? How can I successfully restore?

  • Latest version of the bios update help (dv6700)

    Hello, I have recently updated my OS to Windows 7 on my laptop Pavilion, which is a dv6700, with the number of product KW097EA #UUW and with an AMD processor. His version of bios is F.34, and I would like to know if this is the latest version of the bios. Unfortunately I can not find my model on the site, so I need your help. In addition, the last bios will allow me to install more ram? I currently have 2GB.

    Hello:

    Yes, F.34 is the latest version of the BIOS, and if you have installed, all right.

    I'll spare you to go through your laptop for parts of the Strip and throw in the trash if you try to Flash the BIOS after installing Windows 7.

    DON'T FLASH THE BIOS IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED WINDOWS 7.

    There is 100% chance of completely bricking your laptop if you do.

    Here is the link to the support page and driver for your specific model of laptop.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/product?product=3717145&CC=US&DLC=en&LC=en&os=228&Query=KW097EA&sw_lang=&Tool=

    As long the BIOS of your PC is F.27 or newer, there is no reason that you can not install 4 GB of memory in your laptop right now.

    I have a dv6810us with the same hardware as yours and I am under W7 64-bit with 4 GB of memory (2 x 2 GB of PC2-6400), and it works fine.

    If you need Flash the BIOS (which you shouldn't ever need to), you will need to reinstall Vista and reinstall W7 flash.

  • Failure of the BIOS. Not able to restore

    Hello the HP support team,

    My friend's computer BIOS seems to be dead. When I turn on the CapsLock flashing for 2 times and nothing happens on my screen. I tried to remove the battery and the power cable for a few minutes, but nothing has changed. I also removed the CMOS battery and replaced it's RAM, but still had the same problem.

    I looked for solutions on everywhere and most of the time I finally get stuck on this page. The combination of WIN + B seems to have no effect, which makes sense because I'm pretty sure that they have deleted the partition HP_TOOLS.

    Here is where I need your help. In the above mentioned page, he said that "that a USB key with a HP_TOOLS volume can be used as an alternative. I really searched everywhere, but I can't find how to create this USB key. Also, I do not know where to find one extracted BIOS version so that I could restore from that. The only BIOS I get from the driver page is a ".exe" to run on this computer, which is impossible.

    One last thing to mention is that I downloaded the "sp61632" which gives me "HP Support UEFI environment Setup". When I try to install it on 'USB Flash Drive', it gives me an error, but finally I installed it locally on my computer and then transfer files on a USB key.

    I renamed this player to 'HP_TOOLS', and only files in there are "Hewlett-Packard" > "SystemDiags" and there are 8 elements:

    • CryptRSA.efi
    • CryptRSA32.efi
    • SystemDiags.efi
    • SystemDiags32.efi
    • SystemDiags.s09
    • SystemDiags.sig
    • SystemDiags32.s09
    • SystemDiags32.sig

    Just mention, cause the total size is 2.5 MB and I do not see if thishas anything to do with the BIOS to restore.

    So, to summarize, I need:

    1. BIOS recovery files
    2. a way to create the USB stick with HP_TOOLS
    3. Another idea or suggestion would be welcome

    Tried, but did not work:

    1. Restart
    2. Remove the HARD drive
    3. remove the CMOS battery
    4. replace the Rams
    5. Combination of WIN + B
    6. Combination of WIN + B, with the mentioned flash above connected drive

    The computer is: HP Pavilion DV6-2117 ev (page pilot is here)

    Serial number: (Personal information)

    Product number: WB331EA #B1A

    Sorry for the long post, tried to be as detailed as possible.

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    If the following procedure does not then your choice is:

    Ask HP to replace the BIOS chip. have a third party company BIOS replace the chip or replace the notebook after the recovery of data from the hard drive.

    I recently updated a Tempro alert for update of the BIOS for the notebook. Now, I noticed that the screen blanks a few times at PC startup. It was't there before. How do I roll back the update of the BIOS to a previous one.

    I don't get to see the BIOS updated screen other cases other than the time I did the BIOS update.

    Hello

    To be honest I don't understand exactly what your problem is.
    You said:. Now, I noticed that the screen blanks a few times at PC startup.
    Does that mean exactly? Is your black screen until Windows has started?

    To be honest, I put t think the BIOS update would be the reason for which go into the BIOS (press F2) and set the default BIOS settings (F9) and save the changes (F10).

    If you want to recover the BIOS version earlier, then you will need Flash module ROM BIOS using a basic BIOS version BACK. You will find on the European driver Toshiba page only the win versions
