HP EliteDesk 800 G2 BIOS corrupted by HP bios update
After updating BIOS to:
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 TWR/SFF
02.42 Rev.A 17.2 MB 12. sep 2019
(link: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp990...00/sp99042.exe)
It finished flashing and rebooted - Does not POST at all.
- Tried trick with Win key + B and power to recover.
- Tried remove CMOS battery
- Tried pressing CMOS button for 10 seconds
Nothing of these helps.
When taking power and draining remaining power, and then applying power again it do the following:
RED power light and beeps 2 long and 4 short.
By the way, the bin file is 9 MB in size.
Thanks for any helpLast edited by GIFixed; 10-01-2019, 08:00 AM. -

Post your bios backup .Comment

Re: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 BIOS corrupted by HP bios update
Can't you dump your faulty bios? You can use that faulty bios and file from HP and combine them. When it's working, you might have to use dmifit tool to insert dmi information.Comment

Re: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 BIOS corrupted by HP bios update
I will try to dump the BIOS chip using TL866 programmer.
The windows HP bios update tool did take a backup of my bios. Its size is 9 MB. Same size as in the update tool.
Then this should be not a full backup and useless, do you agree?
By the way, I would like to learn how to edit/combine/fix bios files. Is there a good toturial?Last edited by GIFixed; 10-02-2019, 02:57 AM.Comment

Re: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 BIOS corrupted by HP bios update
The 9MB file is the bios region,its the only part that gets flashed and backed up.The rest of the bios is locked,the flash descriptor and ME region.See the description here:

You can overwrite the bios region using a hex editor ,such as HxD .https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/Comment

Re: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 BIOS corrupted by HP bios update
By the way,
Any body knows why there are two flash chips in this machine:
1) 25Q64FVSIQ near the Nuvoton NPCD315HA0DX
2) 25Q128FVSQ near Infenion SLB9670 and the E16 header marked "ROM RCVRY".
The E16 header is not populated (no pin header soldered).
Could not find any pinout of this E16 2x5 pins header. Pin4 is key.
Other HP models uses 8-pin recovery header with to CS# pins tied together by a jumper. What I could see on videos/tutorial you disconnect this jumper and attach external programmer directly to this header for dump and flashing bios without desoldering.
Any help on this one?
Is it possible to dump the full BIOS without desoldering on this machine. And without harming any other components?
It seems this machine is still under warranty, but HP demands the purchase invoice to correct warranty expiration date. We are seeking to find the invoice. Until now not succeeded to find it.Attached FilesLast edited by GIFixed; 10-06-2019, 04:45 AM.Comment

Re: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 BIOS corrupted by HP bios update
There are soic8 clips so there is no need to unsolder most of the times.Comment
-
Re: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 BIOS corrupted by HP bios update
Yes, thanks, I am aware of that SOIC8 clip. But with this particular machine, does it fry the EC?
KvnTM told me before in another thread regarding Yoga 2 pro, that using a clip will fry the EC.
Is there a way or a rule to determine, if there are possibilities to destroy the EC or another components by flashing BIOS onboard using clip or direct connect?Comment

Re: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 BIOS corrupted by HP bios update
It will not fry any EC. You just have to use the correct voltage. If it is a 1.8V eeprom, use 1.8V programmer. If it is a 3.3V eeprom, use a 3.3V programmer.
Winbond eeprom with FV in the model is 3.3V. If it is FW instead, it is 1.8V.Comment

Re: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 BIOS corrupted by HP bios update

HP EliteDesk 800 G2 MINI/DM (1L PC)
I have 40 of these units. All of which i tried to update bios with HP's utility got bricked. All of them were bios password locked, i used the jumper thing to reset it. Couple updated bios, one of which worked fine for _ONE_ boot. Second is now mixed with rest, i don't know which it is specifically so have not retested it.
All had some MESpilock failed errors on (my) first boot of the unit.

Hello all,
I'm facing a strange issue, I do have my old bios where i can find some information about the laptop SN, build and so on for the DMI encoding.
I did flash a new bios on the laptop and i have tried all the tools found everywhere on this forum and other forums but i'm unable to update all DMI info in the BIOS. I still get an error saying "Warning: Machine is not in committed state".
Could somebody guide me on this or maybe help? I'm really hoping to find a way out of this bios thing...

Update bios EFCN58WW to EFCN59WW for solving The Connected AC adapter has a lower wattage than the recommended AC adapter
I have a Lenovo Legion 5 15imh05a device that I bought used online. It came with a 20V 8.5A 170W charger.
The BIOS version is EFCN58WW.
When I turn on the device, it displays the message:
"The Connected AC adapter has a lower wattage than the recommended AC adapter..."
The device rarely charges the battery, and even when it does, it doesn't show that it's charging.
