Pavilion dv7-6b63us: update Bios

I have a Pavilion dv7-6b63us laptop.  I went into the Windows in file Explorer folder, msinfo32.exe entries in the search block and found that my Bios version is dated F.02 03/10/2011.  Then, I went to the section drivers and downloads for HP software and clicked on the Bios, and they showed a version of Bios F.1C dated 18/02/2016.  I downloaded the version F.1C and save my download folder.  It is safe for me to install this version of Bios on my laptop?  I read somewhere that you could be in a lot of trouble if you install a version of Bios that is not intended for your computer.  Can someone make sure it's OK to go ahead and install the Biso F.1C version?

If the fan does not work, then it sounds like a bad fan sensor or a bad connection going to the sensor.

The upgrade of the BIOS will not solve the error message fan you are experencing. In addition, it is not recommended that you upgrade the BIOS if the fan is malfunctioning under the fan kicks in full throttle during the upgrade as a precaution. If the fan does not work and you upgrade the BIOS and overheating of the computer will power off computer and will be probably corrupted BIOS and brick your computer.

  • HP Pavilion 500 series: updates Bios

    HI I was wondering tonight in my hp support center was a significant update of the Bios I was wondering if I could please get some advice on the question of whether it is a good idea to Bios if there is nothing wrong with the Bios in the first place.  Why should I update the Bios or should I not update the Bios for my hp Desktop.

    Thank you for your time and help

    In general, I agree with redshore.  I'm used to be of the opinion that if everything worked as planned, then leave it alone.  Since I use a HP ENVY laptop with Windows 8.1 one year, I noticed that the HP helper has done several updates that I probably have on my own, especially updates BIOS.  I don't know why there would be many updates to BIOS, so have to asuume engineers tried to fix a problem that had been reported.  As redshore, you always stand the risk of bricking the unit with BIOS update is bad and if you read the forums here, there seems to be more those happening.

    Some units now have a feature where a regime of BIOS recorvery is integrated, a good idea.  You might wise to explore your PC to see if the model you have this feature for a while where you might need.

  • Lost beats audio visual Volume indicator on Pavilion dv7 after the bios update.

    HP ran an update of the bios.  Beats audio indicator volume of volume segmented system stopped showing.  When the volume function keys are pressed upward or to the low volume going upwards or downwards, but the Visual indicator has disappeared.  I am partially deaf then when I hear it without headphones everyone in the House he knows also.  Tech to reset the system to the old bios and still no Visual volume control.  It is important for me and somebody tell him to run a recovery and lost information is not an option.

  • HP Pavilion 500-320no: updated BIOS for HP Pavilion 500-320no

    1. I have to use the update of the BIOS on an HP Pavilion 500 - 320no sp70148.exe? I tried five times through the support Wizard - but it does not work.

    Hello, Anis, my advice to you would be to let your PC as it is until HP finds a solution for this. I don't want to try what I did if they feel uncomfortable or find confusing.

    You have any other problem with your HP computer, or you just want to update the BIOS?

    If your PC works well otherwise I think it would be much safer to wait.

    I know that computers can be frustrating, but if one little thing goes wrong, when updating any BIOS of computers it will be unusable.

    For someone else think to try what I did, I advise you to wait as I said above to ANIS.

    My pc works always fine, no problem * knock wood * , but my experience goes to work with BACK & before the BASIC programming in the 1980s. If the environment was not alien to me.

    I do not know HP will find a solution before too long.

    Shores.

  • Pavilion 500-046: update BIOS on Pavilion 500

    Reviews of need for "HP consumer Desktoop PC BIOS Update (ROM family SSID ZAEO)." Downloaded the update, but when I tried to install, the screen went black for ten to fifteen minutes at that time, I panicked and shut down my computer. She started very well, but I am concerned about the update. Should I try again? Really should the screen be bleak for so long during the installation? It's VERY annoying. What can happen if I just don't install the update? My computer is a pavilion of 500, model 500-046.

    You are the very welcome.

    A doorstop, this is what your PC is only good for after it no longer works.

    I read a few posts from other members of the forum about the failure BIOS flashes after notification to support assistant.

    Maybe they are the same model as yours. They were recent messages last week.

    In any case, given that your PC works, I would leave it be.

    The fact that the update has been downloaded and is on your PC should be of no interest.

    It does not work by itself.  You have to find it in the folder of the file and double-click on and run the installer again.

    But if you get any more notifications of the wizard to support updates to the BIOS you can ignore them.
