So, I've probably just confused myself from jumping forum to forum to blog to...whatever. I downloaded the latest BIOS from HP which was "SP60939.exe" I also downloaded InsydeEZH2O, as well as Winrar. I unzipped SP60939 and got the following files: 0188B.bin FlsHook.exe FlsHookDll.dll DWupdLcl.exe InsydeFlash.exe iscflash.dll iscflash.sys iscflashx64.sys platform.ini xerces-c_2_7.dll Now, I can't open any of those with H2O (they all give the error "Program can't find fv information in FD file"). And I also can't extract any of them in winrar ("No archives found in selected files and folders"). What step am I missing? Info: Current BIOS: Insyde F.25, 2/21/2013 Downloaded, but can't do anything with BIOS: Insyde F.25 3/8/13 BIOS Link: Won't let me post it. Cause I'm a newbie. Processor: AMD E-300 APU Laptop: HP 2000-2b43dx Mission: Really, I just want to change the splash screen. Thanks for any and all help! P.S. First post here after a few days of reading about BIOS modding. Sorry if I posted to the wrong section!
click start.. type folder options.. goto View tab.. now uncheck "hide file extensions for known file types" u selected an app to open the .fd files.. and now it doesnt show .fd
I did that and now the files are showing as...(below)...but there still is not an .fd file. 0188B.bin FlsHook.exe FlsHookDll.dll DWupdLcl.exe InsydeFlash.exe iscflash.dll iscflash.sys iscflashx64.sys platform.ini xerces-c_2_7.dll
i suspect if u compare structure to older bios..we can trim the extra junk to make it load and decrypt. however if u find the 0188B file from older version ( like F.0A or under) it might load.
Insyde F.25 BIOS I know this is in response to an old post but Hp hasn't been I need to get BIOS F.25 because of a problem that all latter bios's causing loud beep after POST. Could you reupload the BIOS? Thanks
