HP 240 G8 Corrupt Bios

[hdd00]

Hi guys

I have a HP 240 G8 laptop which start up , says Bios need recovery, after that goes to rewriting bios and finaly it says all is good, success.
BUT.
After restart a message saying that the bios needs recovery appears and all the above steps are run again and so on ina continuos loop...

I searched the net but no bios dump for this board exists.

Can anyone help me with a correct dump or someone can look at the dump?

Here are the details:
Board : HEDWIG01-6050A3158801-MB-A02
Lapop model: HP 240 G8
Bios chip: W25Q128JVPQ
Board ID : 0868A

Here is my original bios:

Copy the dmi and win key from the old bios using a hex editor

D 481000 - 482FFF (Length 2000)

W A9E000 - A9E03F (Length 40)

Hi...Thanks for the DMI info....

Unfortunately with this dump it takes 2-3 minute for the image to appear at start up , reset and even at "save and exit" from bios .....I think it's too long and is somehow unacceptable....

I will search the net or wait until a compatible dump for this mainboard appears...

If anyone know a good dump for this , please let me know.

Thanks again

Finally a working bios dump for this board.....It's a clean dump extracted from HP bios update executable and inserted the DMI and Win info...

Now the image appears in time and the boot is fast as it should be.

Thanks to all.
