Flash failed with wrong flash 68XXX.BIN forced with 4 arrow keys. Because no Bios Administrator pass. Only user with password. Now HP Probook only starts with 3 caps and numlock (5 times) and nothing. I am try everything, HP_TOOLS on usb, W+B, Power with 4 arrow keys forced flash... notinhg... ubs not work, only HD blinks Bricked...HP! Trying with ext CD, DVD, SD flash, USB Flash.... nothing. Today is going to HP service. Bios is corrupted. Waiting for solution. Any sugestion, comment, please. I will posted final service respond! Thanks! My flash is 68CDD.BIN , chip is 25L3205DM 8-SOP MX12G. If service want to change motherboard, I will eprom my BIOS with serial eprom machine.
forced with 4 arrows = it no longer says 68CDD in board id.. now it says 68XXX try the proper file 68CDD renamed to wrong one u flashed with arrows ?
I will try this ... I will post results. Thak you. Do u have some experiences for programing bios directly on board, is this safe? What is proper way to make SMC.BIN (Rename 68CDD.BIN to SMC.BIN) and put it on root folder BIOS?
find the rompaq recovery method.. usualy needs usb floppy. but u did it with 4 arrows so u have done it. i have some spi programming exp.. not too much with compaqs propietary bios.
HP 6540b ...laptop is in warranty to aug 2015. Service is not flashig bios (programing ...etc) , only change a motherboard for free. lame... but it work's! Programing is sure solution in this case, but I have warranty. Thank's.
