I'm having problems updating my ASUS P5LP-LE which is in a HP machine. I've located the correct bios file for the board from the forums (vista oem) but when I try to run th HP install software I get the following message:- Proper command line parameters were not passed. No action taken. Has anyone managed to update one of these boards / Any suggestions? Thanks
go to hp.com Download the SLIC BIOS From here Download latest BIOS update from HP.com Run the BIOS Update from HP Go all the way till the message with the ok button shows up Do Windows key + R and type in %temp% look for the folder with the same files as the one you downloaded from here Replace the .rom file in your temp with the one from here Hit ok and be happy I dont have this board but I have another HP board same update process
Any of you loose your 'Enable Away Mode Driver' option in the bios? I no longer have it, and when I try to use the restore disk (XP MCE) that I created when I bought the computer, it now says I dont have a qualifying HP computer. Anyone?
I assume you used the method above to flash yours. Your post was put up after I did mine. I used Winflash (1.73 I believe) as, as you said, the update program wouldnt take the .bin that XBIOSES created. I wonder if there was some kind of an ID or 'bit' that was in the bios that I overwrote by using the alternate version of Winflash? I'd love to get it back the way it was, I have a user support issue with the box and HP is hesitant to troubleshoot w/o the restore software back on there... and I cant get it back on... it just says 'not qualifying product'
Hi mate Can't you just flash it again with the latest bios and installer from HP and either stick with XP or try the above method?
No go. I think that updating the bios with Winflash 1.84 may have overwrote the SMBIOS info in some way, making it not think its an HP anymore?
Try updating it that should fix it using HP's latest utility and use some kind of Emulation device until a new safe mod is requested and made. I had HP a1350n BIOS modded I updated to the latest and the SLIC was gone (was basically the same ver BIOS) so it dosent recognize it as a Award BIOS what error do you get when you try the HP update BIOS.
I got a copy of the bios for the exact same model as mine from a friend. Flashed fine and the features are now there. Also, I then updated the bios with the method someone mentioned earlier (replacing the bios bin in the temp directory). That worked fine, now I have the Vista SLIC table, and the missing features back. ... only prob. now is that I have the wrong Serial Number etched into the bios... but thats ok, the correct one is on the case sticker.
Hi Guys I'm having problem to update using the methods above. I'm uing a HP 7480 model and when I update using the substitution method presented I've got a message 'incorrect bios for your system (253)'. The package is sp26837.exe but the modded bios 317 does not seem to fit my system. Does someone have an idea ? Thanks
