BIOS Recovery for HP Pavilion dv6 Laptops by Dustin Barbour I am sorry I can not post the link due to my post number <20 but you can google "BIOS Recovery for HP Pavilion dv6 Laptops by Dustin Barbour" In my opinion the described procedure on that site is the solution for your problem. Good Luck!
I've recently updated my bios, now when I power it on im getting a black screen and fans seem te be running at max. My laptop is an Asus A52JB. How can I fix it?
Hi electrogoodie, I am new to this forum. Last week, I have bricked by laptop Compaq Presario C744TU. I have downloaded the bios file from hp site. I have tried the procedure mentioned by you using USB pen drive. Not working. Can you help. Thanks in advance
My Compaq CQ61-420us does all the beeping and what not when you flash it, but it eventually quits beeping and just sits there forever. I guess its not flashing properly, UGH.
Hey guys! I have a problem. Accidentally wrong bios was installed on my HP Pavillion dv6 7060sw (rev 181B-100) The result - two led signals on caps lock. HDD was formatted and haven't got HP_tools. I downloaded new bios from hp site and extracted it. It has next files: 01818.bin AtpTimerInfo.dll FlsHook.exe FlsHookDll.dll FWUpdLcl.exe InsydeFlash.exe iscflash.sys iscflash.dll iscflashx64.sys platform.ini xerces-c_2_7.dll I renamed first file in different ways (.fd .rom ) and placed it on flash drive (Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\current,Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\previous). It doesn't help. Maybe someone could tell me what i did wrong. Thanks in advance.
On my Compaq Cq61-420us, I even tried a original bios from exactly the same computer, I bought two of them back in the day, and it still wont load the bios. It beeps every 5 seconds then pauses and beeps a little more like it is going to load it, but then just sits there still flashing the two leds.
did u make USB EFI ? in diagnostics the sp48394.exe then the bios file is either 363F.bin or 3652.bin or F.BIN the only problem is the hp UEFI recovery needs a .sig file that is created by phoenixtool. but it does not create them on this bios.. all versions.
I took the FD file and changed the name to 363f.bin, put it on a usb and been trying it that way. Is there other stuff to do to the file?
Nothing i try works, it acts like it reads the sd card, but just sits there doing nothing after a while
I downloaded the EFI utility to the usb drive, but it doesnt put bios folders with current and previous on there. I tried even putting them there myself, and it still doesnt work. When the filename is named 363F.BIN, it acts like it is reading it for a minute and then it just sits there. Thanks for your help, any more thoughts? Im bumfuzzled on it, lol
Tried everything, acts like its reading the flash drive, the light flickers like its beign read, then nothing happens, it just sits there and looks pathetic....
If your using an HP system, this fixed it for me! HP Insyde UEFI BIOS RECOVERY This is the general process I use to flash my BIOS updates on my HP laptops as none of them run Windows. This also is the most-correct BIOS recovery procedure. Tested on HP Pavilion G6-1c43nr Find the "HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment" for your laptop model from the HP website. Execute this under windows and create a HP_TOOLS UEFI boot usb stick. If you can, on your laptop find the "System Board ID" in the bios. (should be a number) Obtain the latest BIOS update for your laptop Run phoenixtool on the bios you wish to recover. - If you have multiple .bin files, pick the one with the number closest to the number from step 3. You will get two files from phoenixtool... - RSA.SIG - <BIOS>F<VERSION>.bin.DEC Place both of these files on the usb stick at Hewlett-Packard/Bios/Current - RSA.SIG -> <BIOS>.SIG - <BIOS>F<VERSION>.bin.DEC -> <BIOS>.BIN For example: - 01699F48.bin.DEC -> 01699.BIN - RSA.SIG -> 01699.SIG Shut down your laptop, plug the USB stick, hold win + B and power on. Wait for the system bios to flash. These were the exact steps used in restoring my HP Pavilion G6-1c43nr This USB stick also gives you access to the "System Recovery" feature in the bios if you erased the UEFI partition.
