    HP DV4-2045dx Bios Issues

    Computer turns on gives 2 flashing lights.

    From what HP says this is a BIOS corruption

    Got my USB drive formatted it to FAT32 dropped the partition size to 32MB since some said too large of a drive can cause issues.

    Downloaded the BIOS for the computer. Extracted the files

    Loaded the BIOS .fd file over to the USB. Deleted the BIOS version Fxx number from the end and changed to a .BIN file

    Put it in the computer held Windows+B and plugged in power and pressed power button

    No matter what button combo I hold it will not read from the USB drive. It never lights up the USB activity light.
    The fans run on high and the computer just runs but never reads from the USB.
    Ive tried the eSata/USB port and the two other USB port no difference.


    Suggestions?

      You need a bios programmer for this

          [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
          by zenius
          Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

          Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

          HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2523nd - Dimm2 slot disabled after corrupt bios repair? Advice requested.
          by Bloodhoundje
          Hi everyone,

          I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

          I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

          After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

          I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...

          [HELP] G712LWS BIOS capsule
          by TraJikar Mac
          I need someone that can capsulate one of the bios files below, and i prefer the older bios version so i can flash it using CH341A tool into the bios chip.
          The manufacturer BIOS files are bigger than the BIOSbackup1.bin files by 256KB and I don't know how to fix or recompile it.

          You can see in this link a conversation between me and other people (Starting at page 10) who tried to help me (thanks to their efforts), but i still couldn't fix it and the laptop is considered as dead until now.

          Also, I uploaded a backup file for the bios that I extracted by using CH341A...
