HP Elitebook x360 1040 G5 - This BIOS is Not for Production Use

[cyborg17b]

Hi guys,

I have acquired a HP Elitebook x360 1040 G5 laptop with the motherboard model BLURR-6050A2999101-MB-AX3(S3).
The laptop is actually engineering sample, as it displays this message on the boot screen: "Your system is not fully configured. pLease contact HP customer support.
Warning: This BIOS is Not for Production Use".







I had purchased a BIOS chip from ebay to replace the BIOS with the error message, but once installed in the motherboard in the WSON8 adapter, I think their technology "SureStart" rewrote the BIOS and the laptop rebooted a few times tellig me that the BIOS was updating. Then after mutliple reboots, the BIOS still displays the same message.

I have 3 chips on the motherboard: U365 (bios), U366 (ec) and another one that is a Winbind W25Q80 chip with a 1MB dump.

I looked up online, it looks like replacing just the BIOS doesn't work, HP talks about a "golden copy", and it seems like it's on the W25Q80 chip.


Can you help me get rid of the message by rewriting the chips?





Thank you very much!

Do you have this Serial Number in the back cover: 000830009X?
I see it in your bios, but it gives me no result in HP Website.
I think someone messed up with your bios, because the Product Number is also faulty: 1234567.

There's no SN on the back cover...
I did a BiosConfigUtility run, it says 000830009X yeah.
I amsp have a normally functionning laptop that has a SN: 5CG84745HX.
Do you have the bin files for the 3 chips somewhere ?

Try those files (32MB+16MB) and ignore the 1MB chip (Put it back), in the first boot go to bios menu and disable security options or set it as Default.
I have removed your DMI from the 2 files, so you will need to edit it from bios menu or using BCU, but you need to find the right Serial Number or use it from your other device (in the worst case).

You need to use an extractor that support RAR 5.

Re: HP Elitebook x360 1040 G5 - This BIOS is Not for Production Use

Hey, I wrote the bin files to the chips, booted and got this message now:
"Warning: Your system is not fully configured. Please contact HP customer support."
I did a BCU with my other laptop serial number, but the message stays on the screen on boot.
How can I remove this?
