    Compaq CQ57 200SM BIOS help needed

    I need bios dump for CQ57 200SM. I have downloaded BIOS from HP site but .fd file which is packed inside .exe is larger than 2097152. So i suppose that it wan't work if i just rename it to .bin. I need dump or some method to convert .fd to .bin.

    had 1 blink error on some old hp dv5.. thought its bios dloaded exe from hp site for this model, extracted it and there was two fd. files.. i just renamed those to .bin and flashed via programmer.. tried both and it booted with both.

    Looks like problem wasnt about bios since im getting 1 blink still.. but fans running and good voltages etc. Size of my old bios was 1mb and files which i extracted from exe was also 1mb.

    u could try it, just rename to .bin

      I know that for some models of laptops .fd size is same as bios dump but in this case there is big difference.

        Try this one - backup old bios first.
        Might need to enter serials with dmi tools or copy the region from old dump.
