Recovery process of the BIOS for HP with AMI BIOS systems?

Hello

I'm trying to fix a HP model a6718uk PC that has a motherboard M2N78 - LA and i think and AMI BIOS.  An update of the BIOS that came through HP Update failed, and the machine does not start.

As it is out of warranty, the HP repair center want to £200.00 to solve this problem, although a simple BIOS recovery process should be enough - does anyone know the process for these systems BIOS recovery?   Everything I've read (not specific to these commissions) says that you should be able to update the BIOS (called AMIBOOT. ROM) on a diskette, CD or USB memory stick and start by pressing Ctrl-Home and it will perform the recovery, but I was not able to get this to work successfully.  HP provide a stand-alone update, so I extracted the file to update the SP.exe BIOS on the HP support site.

Any help would be most appreciated!

See you soon,.

Hi André,.

I wonder if HP change bootlock bios and it does not seek to the AMIBOOT.ROM.  It may be interesting to try AMIBOOT. BIN just in case.

The link below is a link to a free hex editor, open the bios with this file and you should be able to see the extension will look for the bios.

    > Otherwise - where can I download the previous version of the bios where this selection is possible?
    This is not possible because it is always the newest available BIOS can be downloaded.

    With regard to the option in the BIOS.
    Do you mean you are not able to choose this option or you can't change the value?

    Usually the buttons PgUp / PdDn would change the BIOS page. The arrow buttons to select items. SPACE or BkSp can be used to change the values.

    But note; You can only change the value if it s interchangeable. But many options appear in the BIOS but is not editable.

    Hi all

    I read a lot on the internet about the replacement of the screen on computers laptop toshiba and also I saw a video on [how to replace the screen for a Toshiba Satellite P855 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ncz3ZaI2I-s].

    Is it possible to replace the screen for a Toshiba Satellite P850 12Z (original: 15.6"@1366x768) to another screen with a higher resolution (say: 15.6"@1920x1080 or 15.6"@1600x900)?

    I'm sure that the graphics card is able to function perfectly with this screen (nVidia GeForce GT630M 2048 MB dedicated) and also I read a lot on laptop screen replacement, and I know that this screen has a connector 40 pin and it is an LED Panel, so I won't have to worry about the ups.

    I found several screens (15.6"@1920x1080) who say they are compatible with Toshiba, but I wan't to make sure a higher resolution Panel replacement is possible.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Exchange of the display is not supported by Toshiba, so I don't think that someone here can help you with this.
    I assume that Toshiba offers multiple views for this model of laptop. Only seller is different but resolution 1366 x 768 is always the same as on the original laptop specification.

    You can try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. If someone can help you with that service of Toshiba. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can possibly tell if another view is usable on your machine.

    All this is quite complicated.

  • Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

    Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

    Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

    They read these messages?

    Hey Buddy

    I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

    The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

    The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
    You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
    In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

    There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

  • Describing the text for printing with effects

    Hi all

    I create a design that includes a (inner shadow) effect on a part of the text.  When I "Vectorize" to export the drawing to the PDF format (to be sent to the printer) the effect of inner shadow is denied.

    Is there a way to create outlines that will keep the effect?

    The files are attached - the original, that's what I would like, with '_outlined' at the end is what happens when I saw.

    Thank you-

    Sara

    You can do a flattening of transparencies custom which includes convert text to outlines, and who should do the conversion for you when you export as long as you export to Acrobat 4 compatibility to force the flattening, but the big question is why you think you need to convert to text converted to outlines for the printer? Built-in correctly fonts should work perfectly.

  • Image vs cloning on the new HARD drive with an operating system already installed.

    First of all, I'm NOT tech savvy.  I apologize in advance.

    After several warnings error that my hard drive was in danger of failing, I was finally able to install a new HARD drive.  Windows has had some difficulty in installing Windows 7 to new HARD drive, but I finally found a solution.  So here's my current situation.

    I have the main drive (old) (C:\) which has Windows 7 and all my data on it (it is a Seagate 1 TB HARD drive that came installed on my Dell Studio XPS 8100).  I installed a new WD Black 1 TB HARD drive and was finally able to get Windows to download on it (it reads now like two distinct? score?) E:\ and F:\) see photo.

    Now, my question is this...

    I want to save all my data from my old HDD and put it on my new HARD drive.  One that I have this, I would like to remove the old Windows 7 HDD and use it as "extra" space

    Make a clone of the old HARD drive to the new since I have already installed the new Windows 7 HARD disk?

    Please advise and please keep in mind that I might say things correctly and I can't understand though if the answers are on my level.  I appreciate any help!

    OK, so here is what I would do to try to avoid problems of compatibility or driver, as far as I can:
    -Turn off your system completely and unplug from the power outlet wall
    -Disconnect the old drive in your system (SATA and power cables)
    -Place the new WD Black on the main port SATA (should be labeled SATA0)
    -Turn on your system and put your OS drive you can do a completely new installation of the operating system.
    S ' ensure that you have updated all the drivers and the operating system after the installation
    -Turn off your system and plug your old drive
    -Turn on the system in the BIOS and make sure the WD Black has the priority starting on the old HDD
    -Boot into the operating system and copy all data from the start of your old disk partition that you want to keep for the WD Black
    -Go to disk management and delete the old boot partitions and the old drive system
    -The old HDD should be your secondary drive now and you can freely move files between the two disks
    N ' have in mind that due to the new copy of the OS, you must reinstall all the games and programs in order to operate because of the new system registry

    This should put you on the safe side and prevent any compatibility issue or driver which is possible during a clone or restore procedure. :)

  • Unable to process the pdf for ledger with 100's of links

    Runing Mac OS10.68 with CS5 (completely up to date). Work on a catalogue of big 800 + pages - which, through indesign, has all the links added to "see page" etc. etc. and index of links for paragraphs.

    Come to write the enitire in PDF book and on all Mac - 3 years with 6 GB of ram iMac, aged 9 months 3.33Ghx 6 core with 16 GB ram Mac Pro pdf written process ends at page 669.

    Which leaves me with an option - write the book into two parts and then edit links in Acrobat for those links that broke trying to connect for the first section to the second and vice versa - hardly ideal or own.

    Way interesting page 669 pdf without these problems when the book is divided in two.

    My conclusion is that it is a problem of software as new and old and more or less power/RAM seem to make no difference (apart from speed to abandonment on page 669)

    Any thoughts welcome

    You cannot export the entire book to IDML, but you can export the

    document containing p. 668-671. But before that, I would say

    you try omitting this file of the book and see if the overall export works.

    It is there is a single file that causes the problem.

    I don't suppose the page which is de-energized cannot be the problem since

    your statements, no.

  • Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

    I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

    While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

    So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

    TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

    The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

    Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

  • What is the best strategy for the notes for ePub with Indesign?

    Hi, I created before .epubs.


    The fundamental question is this.

    When I export > ePub and display in the Adobe digital editions, I click on the reference number and nothing happens!


    Note 1

    A couple of days, it wasn't the case.

    I think the bottom has something to do with the question.

    I noticed that in the middle of the ebook, notes have been turned off by one.

    In Indesign, I manually changed all reference numbers in the foot and maybe that is the problem but I do not understand why.


    I think I should have been to change the note reference number in the content, not the footer.

    questions?  Why is it automatically refresh and fix all the notes.


    I read somewhere that I have deleted by mistake a reference in the footer, but that this does not update the reference number in the content.


    Note 2

    I created the ebooks in the past with success - workingfootnotes, but I'm rusty. Research online and in Adobetv and youtube, I didn't come on this question or tutorial.  I'm on cloud Adobe and using Indesign cc 2014.


    Note3.

    I went about creating an ebook in 2 different ways, and I do not remember why I did it differently or what is the best strategy.


    one.

    Each chapter and each page of the preliminary pages has been his own .indd

    and somehow I ended up together in a single file.

    Issue.  This has to do with the new > book. Rather than new > document?


    b.

    I have word for each page of preliminary pages and content documents.

    I PLACED the in my Indesign Document.

    I used paragraph styes to segment the ePub and use the chapter headings in my table of contents.


    Any questions about this process?

    I want each page specific issue before appearing as a new page and each chapter to start on a new page.

    I used export > options > split document but when I view it in ADE, they seem not to be new Pages.


    question?  What strategy is best?  Why?


    I appreciate the comments.

    There are a handful of individuals who are still monitoring and responding to this forum (4 years later) and I respect your advice.

    Regarding notes dialing number.

    • You mention that you use InDesign book to combine the different chapters in a single EPUB export: for each of these various documents, check the following: Type > Options Document reference. What is the number of defined starting to for each of the documents? They pursue all sequentially the last issue of the previous document in the book? It could be that you skipped a number there may be?
    • Otherwise by manually changing the numbers could inadvertently "broken" anything. You cannot manually select the number in the text of the note at the bottom of the page and change the number, that will not update the number of reference in the text. Your notes would be out.
    • My recommendation, in this case, I recommend that you re - insert references, to the help Type of InDesign help > Insert reference before you redo an EPUB export.

    On document splitting in some places:

    • When you enable Document Split, what other parameter did you get the permit?
    • If you are using based on the paragraph tag Style export, then to check export of marking of paragraph style settings in the Options of paragraph Style dialog box. is 'Split 'Document' option selected? AND in the different chapters and preliminary pages, check what paragraph style is applied to the first line of text in each paragraph must be broken. Each of them must have an applied paragraph style that has the ability to 'Split' "Document enabled.

  • M712 repetitive image problem. Can not find the page for service with the official RULE

    I have to review the manuals online here and I googled for them as well.

    Nobody seems to have an official repetitive image for the M712 default rule page.

    My impressions can repeat the points that occur each 1.75 "or 44 mm.

    Looking at an older manual for a different model of printer, a HP 5100, this repetitive error indicates a Toner Cartridge primary charging roller.

    Since most of these parts are internal to the toner cartridge, I've already replaced a new cartridge of HP brand. No help.

    Most replaced suspect parts with a kit of maint merger, no help.

    I can assume either us:

    -a got a refurb had somehow HP ink cartridge or

    -a got another somehow cartidge PROBLEM or

    -the charge roller is NOT located within this model of printer toner cartridge and my roll charge elsewhere in the printer

    Someone at - it all pages of repetitive image rule for this prnter model?

    Thanks in advance.

    Test for half. Place a sheet of paper in the manual feeder on the right side and perform a self-test. When the rear edge of the paper into the printer, quickly open the toner door to stop printing. Remove the toner cartridge and look at the picture without fuse below. If the fault is present, it is still the toner and nothing else. If the defect is not present, then the question is fuser. Run a menu card and see if she has a routine cleanup of page and if it does not work there. If this is not the case, the fuser unit will probably be replaced.

  • Update firmware of the iDRAC for M600 with image

    I need to update the firmware of the card server iDRAC to 1.65 and the means to do it now are updates that require you to run on the host computer, operating system must be windows or Linux. I have two servers that have no operating system on them so I can't update this way and it's silly for me to install or run an operating system on each of these just to install an update of firmware for the DRAC. I have also four other machines where the windows exe is not update the map because while it starts the update that he do not say the map isn't here even if before it was said to go ahead with the update, he identified the card and its firmware version.

    I'm referring to this thread already http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/blades/f/4436/t/19472174.aspx and the person who asked where they could get the image never replied and I could really use the image to solve my problems.
