So I went ahead and downloaded the same files from the first post for someone's dv7-1270us and opened up the "mod" folder, clicked onthe batch file, it opened the insyde flash utility? and the current and new numbers matched and they both said f.2d so i went ahead and flashed it. I was able to get into the bios, but nothing changed... and now when i exit the bios it goes to a blank black screen with a flashing cursor D: I presume I have to somehow recover the original bios, but I've spent hours reading these forums and I'm just more confused! I have no idea how I'm supposed to fix this, nor how to properly flash a bios that isn't the packaged file from HP's support site. Could someone please email me instructions or links?? I can't find info that helps, just get more confused!? HagenFrankenstein@gmail If someone's willing to call me my phone number is twosixnine 2six2 one733. I have a lot of videos from school projects on this computer and need it working to finish editing my projects for my video class D:
alright, so I was able to boot into Ubuntu, but flashrom won't let me flash, and I can't seem to extract the .exe from HP's site. can someone extract this? once extracted, I grab the correct .fd file and change to .bin and put on the root of a flash drive right? awesome, and my tablet doesn't like this site, and won't let me paste the support url. its for hp dv7-1270us windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
