    Hp 6910p upgraded but...

    Hello TTAV134,

    I've upgraded my HP 6910p computer with the last biosmod you've posted and now everest reports my bios has slic 2.1 (as you can see in the picture of the url below) but, when I power on the laptop, I get this message in the screen for a while: "Your bios failed to complete the update. Please ensure that you follow the correct procedures and try again. This may require two sequential bios updates to complete the process." but the computer works fine.

    Url image: hxxp://img210.imageshack.us/img210/952/capturaeverest.jpg

    My biosmod was sp49709d.exe

    is everything ok? Why"Creator Id" is "HP" and it's not HPQ (I think all the images I've seen in the forum from everest soft for HP laptops has "Creator Id" = HPQ)?

    Thanks in advantage!

    Hello pokerface.

    Did your laptop shows the message: "Your bios failed to complete the update. please ensure that you follow the correct procedures and try again. this may require two sequential bios updates to complete the process." when you power on it?

    Thank you.

    @ErRober

    HP 6910p is fit with 2 different hardware, one with INTEL video chipset and one with ATI
    sp49709d.exe for ATI (like mine)
    sp49709u.exe for INTEL

    It seem new release of hpqrun utility have some problem with XP, it's working fine on my 6910p under Windows7.
    I have to change the package and let the user choose for himself. DONE

    @ErRober
    "Creator Id" = HP for HP laptop that's correct.
    PM me the HPQFlash.log file, i would like to see why you had to flash twice.

    thanks for your feedback

    Its starts with no problems.

    Have you tried it the same way as I did?

    My notebook has an ATI video chipset so I've used sp49709d.exe and I got that message when I power on my computer.

    Thanks.

    Finally, I've solved my "problem":

    ErRober

    1.- I've downgraded my bios two revisions before, I mean, I've downgraded to hp's official version 16 and I've got no message on startup (good!)

    2.- I've upgraded to version 17 (official too) and I've got no message too.

    3.- Then I've upgraded to version 19 (official too) and I've got no message too.

    4.- Finally, I've used your biosmod (ATI bios) and now I've slic 2.1 and no message.

    I hope this could be useful for people with the same "problem".

    Thanks.

    Or press F10 during boot, enter BIOS setup menu and choose "Restore default"

    Hello TTAV134.

    Restore default BIOS settings didn't work for me. (I've read about it in HP support forums).

    Regards.

    you have saided to me:
    You need this patched NEW HPQFlash version 4.2.5.3 and have a look HERE and do not waste your time with the checksum correction, it is useless.

    NO, sadly only floppy. Do not like it, complain to HP!
    When flashing the BIOS always try to understand the risks & how to overcome them

    The Hp530(sp38863_MOD.zip) has worked greatly on my HP530 without any problem.
