Need technical help, clarification of recovery BIOS HP Elitebook turn 810 G1
So I'm looking to buy a used HP Elitebook turn G1 810, works very well, but the BIOS was locked so it can't be tinkered with as it was a demo produced a password locked client. I read in the support page for the device, the preboot UEFA guidelines technical white paper, to launch the BIOS recovery Partition you should press and hold on all the arrow keys and press the power button. But as this seemed to be a widespread solution for "Netbooks" I was wondering if it would work. The only other solution is to Flash the BIOS, which I assume is the EEPROM chip, and I have no experience. Will it work and what are my options if it won't? I can take it to an HP service center?
I would get the shop call hp while you there & see if they can provide a master password as otherwise it great pain & requires on-line expertise of writing of the bios chip or get replaced chip.
The probooks EliteBook is a pain right when the lost bios password & for sure the store/seller is aware of this as so easy they would sort it before sale ;-)
to be honest I wouldn't touch a demo because most serious uptime & make you near destruction sometimes.

EliteBook 8730w: need help with reset password BIOS HP Elitebook 8730w
Dear community, I have a HP Elitebook 8730w and I forgot the BIOS password. I tried everything I could remember, I slept several days above to remind him, but I'm lost. I contacted HP support and they said that they would not help with a file of type smc.bin (which has been mentioned in many forums). No idea how to fix? I need to change the HARD disk but do not dare to do so that I can not configure the new HDD or SSD in BIOS.
Help would be appraciated. I do not directly post P/N and S/N, due to privacy regulations in this forum. But if anyone can help me, please send a message and I'll post all the necessary details.
I am a student and have small budget so I was willingly using this Elitebook old but fine. But now I'm really in trouble.

Need QUICK help with XP Recovery Console
My computer has rejected the slightest error and says to insert disk at startup to enter R for repair through the repair console and windows (he said I was missing a windows / file fat32.) I followed these instructions and it took me to the recovery console which someone else told me to enter chkdsk/r at the command prompt I did and he told me that the volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems. All solutions on how to solve this problem or what might be the problem or maybe I'm not in the right order? Please help me soon I have files on this computer, that I need.
Start the computer with a Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or a Bart PE and copy the data files on an external hard drive or USB key. Then test the hard drive as it looks to be a failure.

I need help to Flash the bios. I have an Aspire 5810TZ. I start and he just says "acer" and goes no further. I went to the download page for BIOS on us.acer.com and it has a zip file with 5 files:
JM4151135.exe
IN FLORIDA...
GPC_V135.bin
Readme.txt
FLASH. BAT
What should I do? I tried to copy the files on a USB key and turn on/off with Fn + ESC key. After the release the power button and pressed Fn - Esc another screen appears after 30 seconds. I gave up and gave her 30 minutes but it does nothing. I read another person that should be flashing power button online. I have to rename one of the files. Help, please!Aspire 5810TZ menu of frozen startup.
I finally understand it.
I couldn't start a back b/c drive, it me did not start anything.
I followed this chain of logic:
-Downloaded the bios (2.35 is the one that worked for me)
-Find the exe file in the winflash file.
-Extract the files in archive exe using the 7-Zip program
-Find the .fd file and rename it to JM41X64. FD (I read in a forum was unique in my laptop)
-Copied JM41X64. FD and FLASH it is. EXE on a USB
-A the battery and the hard drive out.
-With its trendy diet I supported Fn + Esc and that you press the power button once while ensuring that the Fn + Esc has been always held down.
-J' waited 6 seconds and release the Fn + Esc and seen the flashing flash player
-After about 10 minutes, restarted the machine and the bios as like new.Later, I found that there was a hard drive problem.
I want you guys should help more. All I needed was the name of the JM41X64 file. FD and you don't know how many hours I put into trying to find how simpy bios flash. It is not that difficult for someone with a b.s. in computer science to learn how. Couldn't we a m.s. back b/c the bios drive was messed up. F12 didn't work.

Help me install Recovery vista disc Xp Media Center manufactured PC
Hello
My pc came with windows xp media center edition. According to hp, I had to have the free vista upgrade if I had bought my pc until March 15, 2007.
But I bought on 19 April 2007, so that they do not give me Windows Vista. I've been running on XP thereafter. Now I can borrow the friend Vista recovery disc and and install, but I don't know how to do this. If I need to change some settings in BIOS or not?
I want my PC should work as if it came with vista only (d: recovery, Casked etc.)
If in the case where I feel happy with vista, I also want to go back to XP MCE.
Please help me to do the process.
My model No. is the m7581in flag.
You need not update BIOS to install Vista. If you do not experience problems addressed by the update, you don't need it.
Before installing Vista, take your recovery disk set, so you can go back to XP if necessary. An another suggestion_Windows 7 must be released in a few months. I've been running the BETA-test version of this since Jan and now the recently published CR. It has some improvements on Vista. I would wait a few months for Windows 7.
