    Need bios HP G42-458TX

    Hi, does anyone have the bios hp G42-458tx.
    Code: DAAX1IMB6A0 REV A
    Ci5 480m, vga ati radeon

    I accept the notebook can be turned on, but only a black screen. I've checked the voltage at the coils, all the good measured. I touch on HM55 cold, as not to react. cpu and ati touched feels quite warm

    I've done several things, among others:
    replace the RAM is still good, does not solve the problem.

    try to flash the bios main, with bios downloaded from a forum then HM55 gets warm. does not solve the problem

    so I conclude this might seem a mismatch bios or corrupt, and hopefully not the chipset or vga

    I attach the backup bios and bios downloads

        thanks for all your response

        before reading your response, I have several times tried to put the bios of which I found on the web. and did not change anything. in desperation I returned the original bios to be returned to the user, I try to turn it on once again ... it can appear on the screen.

        so the case has been resolved, although the record cpu and vga experiencing excessive heat, as weakness HP in general we know.

        little notes that I made,

        - Bios backup still good, for database badcaps
        - HP laptop does not directly display the boot
        screen, before pressing the power button, we have to press F9 or F10 to force the HP boot via an external monitor.
        - We also need to install the hard disk even if bad sectors, or which can be bootable usb

        thank you for your attention

        I love this forum

          🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
          by macabook
          Hello everyone,

          I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
          🧩 Initial Issue
          • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
          • External display (HDMI) shows
          ...

          [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
          by cr4zychriss
          Hello everyone,
          I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
          I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details

          ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
          by pirati
          Hello everyone,

          I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

          When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

          I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...

          Dear Forum Readers!

          I'm looking for a BIOS modder or anyone with experience who would give me suggestions about my razer blade's BIOS settings.
          I can view and edit the content of the BIOS .bin file with AMIBCP BIOS editor.
          The BIOS files I'm working with are from badcaps.net and those are CLEAN BIOS files (anyone can find it with the search string: RZ09-0421).
