    I've been successfull. i have a hp pavilion dv5 and i flashed the last version of bios that i downloaded from hp website, then my computer stuck before finishing its job. I downloaded version F0BA from the website and renamed the file ***.FD to both 3602.bin and 3603.bin, then copied these files to my flash, pressed windows key+B then power button after my flash lamp turned on, I release all the buttons, my laptop beeped frequently and after about 3 minutes lator, it has been turned off automatically. then everything on my laptop was OK...
    thank you just posted this. this totally saved my life!

    I registered just to tank you!! It worked in my DV4-1365DX.

    I found the name in UMA.ini file, in this case was 30F7 and I changed the name of the xxxxxx.dv file to that name.
    I also used a copy of the file but with the other extencion so I really dont know what's the file that worked but I don't care now. ITS WORKING!!!! ITS ALIVE!!!!!!

    Try this

    You must use a USB Floppy Diskette Drive or create Phoenix Crisis Disk

    When you're done creating a crisis disk, look for a file BIOS.WPH. Delete it and replace with your original 30CCF58.WPH version F.58A. Rename it with the following:

    30CCHW.FD
    30CC.FD
    30CCHW.BIN
    30CCHW.ROM
    30CC.ROM

    If still unsuccessful, try renaming your 30CCF58.WPH to BIOS.WPH

    If again it will not work, try downloading the lowest version of your BIOS by going to your lappy website, say F.33A. Redo steps on recovery.

    Stemcell,
    Could you re-post another link for the D250 recovery zip. The link you have supplied has been removed for some reason. I've tried everything to revive my D250, with no success. Or could you describe what procedure you used to make a working recovery file.Thanks in advance.
