BIOS request for HP Pavilion TouchSmart 23-f304ea PC

[Yousuf]

Hi All,
I am trying to debug the HP all in one PC and I have done pretty much what I could do. It is an intel based platform with i3 3240 + panther-point chipset + Nvidia graphics.

The details are here, https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=103428

As a last resort, I would like to restore the BIOS and see if that makes any difference. if anyone could find the BIOS, please help. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Sorry, it took some time to get my set up ready. Please find the attached flash. I really don't think it is the flash, but just attaching the dump I extracted, in case it is useful for someone.

As stated, if you have any clues on how to debug please let me know. Thanks again.

Hi, Thank you so much. I will have a go.

I have also noticed that there is another flash chip that is not as big as the original one. It might be flash for the super I/O chip. Let me see if I can extract that too.
