I have since taken the board off it's mounts and found this printed on the back: a11sbt2 mb 11074-1 48 5p601 011 inside a big white square. Does that help?

I have also confirmed the PCH chip to be a BD82C204 SLJ4H.

I have tried flashing all the BIOS available at the HP site, but have only had success in updating the iLO firmware. With the help of ChatGPT, I have tried all the methods for flashing the BIOS: USB stick, iLO firmware update, Cold boot method (holding the power button with the usb stick in specific port) with no luck. I have tried using dip switch 6. 1&6 as well as 1,5 &6 while trying to flash. I have also desoldered the chip and soldered it onto the programmer, which is where I got the BIOS bin file from. I have done the desoldering twice with different firmware. Nothing. ChatGPT says...

Okay, I think I see the problem. This is a microserver and the support page is on the HP Enterprise webite at support.hpe.com. The PID no is 712317-421 and the link: https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/se...erOfResults=25 will give you the search for this machine. The software updates are here: https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/pr...oftware&cep=on

I hope this helps. Thank you for your efforts....

I thought the serial number was one of those on the sticker. Do you mean the serial number of the box? If so, it is: CZ134499EJ

I hope that is what you need?...

Thanks. Will do

Thanks SMDFlea! Do I need to just zip everything in future? Or did you just fix it for me? 😎

I hope this works for my BIOS file that I took off the chip before I did anything:...

Hi danito, thanks for replying. The system won't let me attach the file. Maybe because I'm new here? The board is stamped with HP logo and the only numbers are on a sticker:
PN: 715062-001
CT: PDNVDB1WG5L05B
SP#: 724495-001
REV B1

Is that what you need? I hope it helps!

Hi all,

This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.

I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

I...
