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.

Re: Compaq CQ57 200SM BIOS help needed
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.Comment

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

Hello everyone,
I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
🧩 Initial Issue- Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
- External display (HDMI) shows

Hi, I have an MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 board with damaged BIOS and i need a bios dump from a real board, along with MAC, UUID and Serial Number info (eg. a BIOS screenshot and pictures from the board stickers).
