Unlock the BIOS of the advanced features.

I want to upgrade to an SSD and need active AHCI SATA mode. My BIOS is locked and useless, I can't find this feature during installation.

I have a g4-2119br laptop PC and Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit HP Pavilion.

The BIOS is Insyde F.29.

Can someone tell me how to unlock or where I could find a BIOS version that is unlocked and useful?

HP... I am so bored cause this locked BIOS.

I remember that before shop another HP product.

Thank you for the Brazil

Searching the net I found this: especially for users of HP - latest computers laptops bios are mainly the RSA signed, which means that once modded it may produce a semibrick when you enter the BIOS.

And this

Here is a small part of decompiled the Version F.26 Insyde BIOS Setup Menu. It shows that the hard disk controller is configured in RAID by default.

I thought that maybe my F.29 Insyde BIOS's the same default settings...

So I just change the Windows registry in order to auto-detect mode. I reboot the system and it doesn't crash.

My BIOS is still blocked, but I found the answer I was looking for.

He worked here, but I don't know about other systems.

Thank you.

    Thank you once again for youy help

    Thaose temperatures very well. Does not even begin to worry until you start to see time @140 degrees F.

    That's well below Tj Max.

    I used to use centigrade. If the temperature is close to that you certainly can't expect much better than this.

  • before you go swim with my series 2. I need to activate the waterlock feature? or is it automatic? and just to unlock after swimming

    TNX

    Hello

    Swimming workouts

    Begin a swim practice in the application of the workout on Apple Watch series 2 models automatically activates the lock of the water, which locks the screen to avoid accidental interactions during your workout.

    To complete your workout and to evacuate all the water:

    • Press the digital Crown and side button at the same time (which makes a break from the workout).
    • Turn the digital Crown, which opens the screen and erases all the water inside of the watch (it can make a sound).
    • Forehand and press end.

    Other swimming

    If you plan to get your Apple Watch series 2 wet in other circumstances that when training of swimming - as to the course of General wear in a pool - you can manually lock the screen first and then drain the water from the speaker subsequently:

    • Slide up from the bottom of the face of the watch to open Control Center > tap water from lock to lock the screen.
    • When you're done: turn the digital Crown to unlock the screen and drained the water from the speaker.
    • The lock can also be unexpected water activated and unlocked immediately after exposure to the water.

    After bathing, make sure to clean your Apple Watch series 2 by rinsing them with hot water from the tap. Watch and the band should be dried with a non abrasive and non fluffy cloth.

    Strips of leather and stainless steel (Milanese Loop and Bracelet links) are not water resistant, so should not be worn when swimming.

  • Why don't unlock the lock screen?

    I know this is a long post, but I would be very happy if anyone with time on their hands to read.

    My computer works well and has had no virus since I installed windows8 (a few months ago), but today, he worked, and I rebooted, then the keyboard and mouse would not unlock the screen no matter what I do! Normally, when I click or press a key, the screen will slide up and he asked me my password, but now, it won't work.

    I tried different mouse and keyboards and all confirmed working on different machines. My work of mouse and keyboard in my bios and windows 8 s shift f8 mode. I tried different ports. I tried to unplug all USB ports and then plug on the lockscreen. I managed mode shift f8 and tried several options. Safe mode produces the same result. I tried to system restore but it gives me an error report something to do with my antivirus avira. After a Google search I found avira secure systems can't do system restored until avira is uninstalled, which I just can't do it right now.

    While in the lockscreen, I have several signs that the system is not completely frozen. The changes of time. When I unplug my USB WiFi adapter, the icon changes to WiFi and it changes back when I plug it back in. Initially, my keyboard volume knob does nothing but after spamming all the buttons, turn the volume change the volume, as indicated by the meter of volume of windows 8.

    Please help, I need to use my computer! I would prefer not to have to restore it because I don't want to lose a 2 TB of HDD to a value of things. I either need to find a way to uninstall avira has no access to windows and you try and the restoration of the system, or find a solution to the question itself.

    I tried to follow an online guide on how to uninstall programs with cmd, but it failed. I typed in wmic and that the command was successful, the next step was to type in product of is name, but who gave me an error code and it said invalid class. After some research, I discovered that x 64 systems do not come with preinstalled WMI command-line, but I can't install it without access to windows.

    Data sheet:

    Windows 8 x 64 professional
    12 GB Kingston hyperx 1600 MHz ram
    Stock of amd phenom ii x 6 1050t 2.8 GHz cpu

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: PS in safe mode, the lock screen is a reason ignored. He starts the password entry screen but the mouse is nowhere to be seen and the keyboard does nothing. The thing hits line of flashes.

    I would like to do a refresh of the system but need an installation disc and I've never had a physical disk, I downloaded an upgrade for windows 7.

  • "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. »

    Have a laptop Envy M6-K010DX. Due to a problem of the internet while improving to win 8 to 8.1, the PC does not start correctly, and Windows Explorer will not load. Has decided to "Refresh" of the operating system and is gone to F11 restore utilities.

    The only access I have for execution of orders made by the tasks Manager command-line and F11. What is this 'locked' drive, anyway? Someone at - it any information on that?

    Hello Lara.

    IF you have updated from 8 to 8.1 and the process was interrupted during installation, this may damage the disc and therefore locked error. "Refreshing" the system would not be the answer that you need to clean install Windows 8 again. 8.1 update can break the bond of the recovery partition, especially if it has become corrupted as indicated.

    You must clean up the installation with the recovery discs, you must have created before you updated to 8.1.

    In addition, if you do not have the recovery disks, you can buy a set of HP or install a regular copy of Windows 8 and then update the drivers manually. HP has the Windows key now integrated into the bios.

  • Unknown channel or name of the repeated feature - settings MAX IVI

    Hi all

    I have problems with the creation of a pilot application based on IVI. I use Agilent N6700B PowerSupply simply configure and output voltage via GPIB with LV2009 (and Win7). The main issue is with the name of the 'channel' I need to specify in the application. Could someone please confirm ChannelName should I use and if the MAX settings are correct? I have attached all necessary files.

    When I run my application I get following "IviDCPwr IVI Converter.vi error error message

    The primary error: unknown channel (Hex 0xBFFA0020) or
    name of the feature repeated.

    Complete calling chain:      IVI IviDCPwr
    Error Converter.vi IviDCPwr
    Configure the output Range.vi GPIB.vi"

    Any help is very appreciated

    Kind regards

    PK

    Hi, PKI,

    The correct physical name for the channel is '1' and it was filled for you by the driver under the advanced > Instrument Driver Software Module (see MAX1.jpg). You can name your virtual channel name well you want under the pilot Sessions > section virtual names, but the physical name must always be 1 as specified in the driver (MAX2.jpg). In your application, make sure that you use exactly the same name for the virtual channel as recorded in MAX.

  • The scrolling feature is flicking/back to top of page when I move the scroll bar

    When I use the scroll function in the menu of the Explorer, it flashes back and forward/back back to top - when I move the scroll bar!

    It may be a virus or something, but my antivirus software cannot be removed (antivirus software: 360 Total Security)

    Would appreciate help or a solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey @Nanoq ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that the continuous scroll bar jump around as if it were in a clip of House of Pain.

    Can you tell me if you use the scrolling feature of the touchpad or if you're clicking and dragging the scroll bar?

    It is a feature of laptop I always had personal problems with touch keys. Not that there is anything wrong with it, I just have a bad habit of going a little too far to the left or the right. When he loses in this regard, he always comes back to where I started scrolling. Same thing on my MacBook and my laptop.

    If this sounds like the same thing is happening to you try a mouse to see if the same problem occurs. If If are you could be right about a virus. Check and see if the problem occurs in several programs, if you do not have to try and fine-tune things.

    I also suggest using a program like Malwarebytes (available free online) to search for infections. It is always nice to get a 'second opinion' possible infections.

    I look forward to your reply!
