Presario SR5710F needs HP/Compaq BIOS flashed.

I have a Presario SR5710F I try to restore to the factory specifications.  The original hard drive has failed while I don't have access to the original Win Vista 32 bit OS.   The SR5710F display the following information:

Basic version: V6.0

BIOS revision: 5.27 10/06/2008

Model number: ALONPAV

Product number: D5468AT-ABA

Build ID: (blank or empty)

A search for update the BIOS of this machine is in an executable file named: sp40911.exe.  This file is listed as version 5.27 dated 2008-12-04.

Obviously, what is on the system is at odds with what the support page says who should be there.

Is there a method to Flash the BIOS of HP/Compaq without booting in windows vista?

Otherwise, what is the next step?

Thanks in advance.  Terrence

Another thing to note... If HP/Compaq logo does not appear at startup, a BIOS option named "Start Diagnostics screen" can be activated. 'Start Diagnostics screen' function replaces the screen of the HP or Compaq logo with a splash screen that quickly displays the startup status messages. Maybe that's the reason why you do not get a HP/Compaq splash screen.

  • Compaq Presario SR5710F upgrade the video upon hearing the motherboard cannot handle high power supp

    What is the best graphics card upgrade which can my Compaq Presario SR5710F can support? I'm ready to upgrade the power also, but hear that the motherboard do not put anything above 350 watts regardless of power.

    You can install any PCIe x 16 video card you want. The limiting factor is going to be the power supply. More power the longer video card POWER supply. About what you hear about the motherboard, I found nothing to that effect. To qoute request-leo,' I heard a matter of concern that a power high power can somehow 'forcing' the power on the computer, resulting in overheating and burnout. Nothing could be further from the truth. A power supply provides power in response to the need; It does not matter where power grow. If your computer only needs 100 watts, then a 500 Watt power supply will only provide 100 watts. Why have a 500 Watt power supply? For the use of 'pic' (sometimes material will require 'sudden' power, as at the beginning upward or under heavy load) and for future expansion. »

    It is better to have too much power too littleand to get the right size. By that I mean the physical size - come in many standard sizes out there, and they are not interchangeable.

  • Need help to recover a bad BIOS flash on Satellite L300D-01

    I need your help to fix my laptop because the BIOS is not included in the guarantee.

    What happened:

    I was downloading all the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba to make a CD-ROM of drivers, in case I need it.
    I clicked the update of the BIOS when I drag and drop into a new folder and the BIOS start without asking and freezz about 50% I wait 30 min because I know THAT BIOS is critical, but after all this time I have no choice then to power off the computer.

    Now when I turn on the computer, I have no disk image trying to read and she.

    Now what I want to do is a CRISIS of recovery since this is the only option I have for now.

    What I need, is that the BIOS file not the stupid .exe, but a ROM or .bin I think and instruction to do on this particular model.

    Thanks for looking for my post and I hope that someone can help me here because repair $80 for a budget laptop is great.

    I doubt that you might be able to repair this laptop for yourself.
    The fact is that the ROM module has been flashed properly and I guess it must be flashed again using a traditional BIOS version.
    This version of BIOS is NOT available on the Toshiba page. Only a victory according to BIOS version.

    Therefore, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a BIOS flashing module.

    Mate sorry but I don't see another solution to the problem you.

  • Upgrade a Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop computer

    Hello, I'm recovering because as far as I can get out my Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop... right now there windows vista service pack 2 32-bit. The processor is an AMD Athlon 64 dual core 4450e to 2.3 GHz with 3 GB of ram at 800 MHz. First of all, since the processor is 64-bit, I was wondering if a windows 7 64 upgrade is recommended... Secondly, I know that even though I have a 64-bit processor, the maximum capacity of ram I have is 4 GB due to the motherboard, but with this card mother, is possible to increase the speed of greater than 800 MHz ram (for the motherboard specifications are hard to find). I was also thinking to replace the graphics card, but what I am seeing that will probably require a different diet and I am on a limited budget. Any suggestion? Please take into consideration the fact that this upgrade is not for games etc, its a home computer that I'm trying to be as updated as possible for a minimal cost. I am realistic, however, and I know it's an old PC. More I am not worried about existing programs (32-bit), I certainly intend on a new installation

    RickCraw,

    Here are the specifications of your Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop computer and its card mother MCP61PM-HM (Iris8). According to the specification, this model has PCIe x 16 graphics card slot and a 250 watt power supply.

    (1) most retail graphics cards require a 300 watts or more big power supply system to work properly. Install a new graphics card to detail will require the replacement of power supply as well.

    (2) Yes, you can install Windows 7 64 bit on this computer. I recommend the upgrade of RAM at a minimum of 4 GB for use with a Windows 64-bit operating system.

    (3) NO, you cannot change the speed of the RAM. Your system is limited to the following specifications/configurations of memory;

    Dual channel memory architecture

    Two connectors DIMM DDR2 240-pin

    Supported DIMM types:

    PC2-4200 (533 MHz)

    PC2-5300 (667 MHz)

    PC2-6400 (800 MHz)

    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered

    Supports DIMM DDR2 2 GB modules

    Supports up to 4 GB (2 x 2 GB = 4 GB)

  • Dell inspiron 531 BIOS Flash does not work in Windows 7

    updated my dell for win7 64 (from vista 32) but now dell BIOS flash not work

    Tried to run in compatibility mode, but seems no good either. It only extracts has winflash.sys of the file and do nothing more than that.

    Dell does not support this model with win 7 then you are my last hope :)

    Nothing says that you need Flash/upgrade the BIOS updated? Updated your BIOS is usually not necessary unless the update fixes a problem that you are experiencing.

  • I need the old Bios for my Satellite A100-233 PSAA8E

    I had updated my BIOS to version 6 and now my battery doesn t even hard 10 min... it see the 103 percent when it is fully charged...
    Is it possible that I can get my old BIOS... I think than v5.1

    Hello

    It's very strange

    First of all you will not be able to download the old version of the BIOS for Toshiba page provides only the most recent versions.
    So if you need the old BIOS, you will have to ask the help of the ASP

    With regard to the issue;
    I'm not very well if the BIOS has something to do with it, maybe you should unload until the battery would be total empty m and then try to charge it again.

    Check it out!

    Now I need the Original bios (no updates) to boot from USB might work. Who should I contact for oraiginal bios?

    I can imagine that Toshiba service provider in your country can help you with this. They must have access to the database of Toshiba and also access to all previous versions of the BIOS.
