Now i've got a problem, since the flash, my bios won't boot up properly. All i get is a black screen, so is there a recovery procedure to restore my previous bios to get my laptop working? Please answer quickly, cause i'm using my mum's laptop, which i'm borrowing for 2-3 hours!
What happened ? You wrote that the all OK ? 1. Format USB stick (<2 Gb, FAT or FAT32, not bootable) 2. Copy to the stick your original bios (rename to IBL80HW.fd (or IBL80.fd)) -Attach usb flash stick to your laptop. -Press Windows key + B + Power (about 3-5sec) [or Fn + Esc + Power] [or Fn + B +Power] -When you see that something read data from USB release keys (it's all about feeling when you need let off this keys, so probably you need to try several times) - After a few minutes laptop will restart
I don't know what happened, i followed your instructions and it worked till yesterday morning, when i decided to update windows, and after restart all i got was a black screen. I'm currently recovering the bios by using the original bios from hp site, just hope it works after it restarts. How long does the recovery process take, cause i've let it flash for 5 mins now.
I do not think that this problem is caused by a modified BIOS, most likely, something went wrong when updating Windows. At what point a black screen appears? When you turn on the laptop you have the ability to enter the BIOS? And, try to remove the new device installed
