Hello all, I have this HP Victus 15-fb1000ca and I am suspecting bios is corrupted, as soon as the laptop powers on the power button blinks once (white light) and nothing after. Black screen. Everything seems normal on the motherboard. I have attached the bios bin read file. I have the bios dump from HP's website, i was hoping someone could explain where or how to modify the clean dump to match my serial number etc.

As per posting rules:

Model: HP Victus 15-fb10000ca
Serial Number: 5CD34293F9
Prod ID 8G9JOUA#ABL
Motherboard Model Number: DAG3PRMB8D0 REV: D

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Search your S/N with hex editor, you'll find a block containing all that info, copy that block to new BIOS
For Win key, search in hex 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1D 00 00 00, copy that too

Try, BIOS extracted from HP website with serial/Win key inserted

the bios chipset is marked in a white square near fan connector, what you read is not bios.

The page you linked is for the Intel 12th gen version, yours is AMD Ryzen 5 5600H

BIOS backup is incomplete, you only read the first 1MB, it should be 16MB, check your programmer settings, manually select W25Q128JW or equivalent chip, luckily the serial/win key is there

Check for hardware problem, maybe you have a short somewhere on a secondary power rail, please start a new thread in Troubleshooting Laptops, Tablets, and Mobile Devices section

Unfortunately, I only saved that. Since then I tried injecting several BIOSes that I found on your forum but the screen remains black. I also tried injecting the 08A3C.bin from the HP site. It doesn't change anything.

I didn't see that you had prepared a Bios for me. Thank you very much! However, the screen remains black. There may be another problem...

Try reading the BIOS chip again, your BIOS backup is almost empty, most of it is 00 00 or FF FF, cannot get the serial/model/product ID/etc. from your BIOS

If that fails, try post 5 https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...64#post3344564
Or post # 43 above

Try on a new BIOS chip if possible W25Q128JW, W25R128JW or similar 1.8V chip

Edit serial/product number/etc. with HP BCU if it works

Hello everyone,

After performing a BIOS update on my HP Victus laptop, I noticed that some system information (like S/N and product number) was either missing or altered. I suspect the BIOS is corrupted.

Since then, I’ve been experiencing serious stability issues:

• The screen freezes and crashes after a few minutes of use.
• By uninstalling the GPU driver, the system runs with 16GB of RAM, but graphics performance is unstable.
• By updating the GPU driver, the system consistently freezes and crashes, and after reboot, only 8GB of RAM is detected instead of 16GB.

I attempted to restore the missing BIOS data using HP’s BCU DMI tool.
The process completed without errors but after rebooting, same issue, nothing has changed, and data is still missing in BIOS.

I need help to rewrite or restore the system information in the BIOS.
Thanks in advance!

Most likely RAM fault, remove both RAM sticks, clean the contacts on the RAM, try with only 1 RAM stick

You attached clean BIOS from HP, not the contents of your BIOS chip

You should also see "Manufacture Programming Mode is in Unlock mode" text on a blue rectangle at power on, else BCU won't work
Like this:


Use BCU to enter the following, only if you have the Manufacture mode... message at boot

Product name: Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fb0xxx

System Board CT Number: (it's on a sticker on the motherboard)
System Family: HP VICTUS

Yes, Product name should be written as "Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fb0xxx"

If you don't have the Manufacture Programming Mode message, you need to use a programmer to flash BIOS extracted from HP website, the BIOS chip is 1.8V, you need a programmer that supports 1.8V SPI Flash chips, make a backup of the current contents of the BIOS chip first before flashing another BIOS

The RAM is ok, I cleaned and tested both on slot 1 and 2 respectively, plus I did a MemTest86 once the system detected 16GO, and all the results are good.

I don't have a programmer, so I tried to make a copy of my BIOS using AMI Firmware Utility and then Flashrom booting from Linux, but both process failed each time with error messages... I don't know which method to use to get it.

However I was able to put my hand on an original BIOS with same ref as my laptop though... Is there any way it can help ?

[m1ch43lzm]

Don't know of any software method of flashing a modified BIOS, or overwriting the full BIOS image on HP laptops (especially with AMD CPU), as usually the area where the S/N and Win key is located is not overwritten during a normal BIOS update, the regular update procedure skips that section
You can try creating the BIOS recovery USB drive from sp158225.exe and follow the instructions there:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/documen...413-2337994-16
But since that's an "official" method, it also doesn't change the MPM Lock which you need to enter serial/product name/SKU/feature byte, etc. with HP BCU

The BIOS can't be downgraded either via software

- Provides the 2025.1 security enhancement. NOTE: After this BIOS update is installed, previous BIOS versions cannot be reinstalled.

Only way that I know of is using a hardware programmer
