Hello,

I had the problem that the laptop got stuck in Final Step of BIOS Update:

Desoldering and programming only the 32MB Winbond did not work.

My solution was:
-Desolder both BIOS WINBOND chips (32 + 16MB).
-Programming the 32MB chip with BIOS from Post 10 (Without DMI)
-Programming the 16MB chip with EC File from Post 15
-Re-Solder and turn on the laptop; leave the Laptop alone: it took about 3-4 hours to process everything!!!
-Program all values (SN, Feature Byte, etc.) with HP BIOS Configuration Utility (BCU)
-Updating...
