I am trying to help a friend with their laptop which seemingly out of the blue has suffered from a BIOS corruption.
I've done so many different steps in trying to repair the laptop without success.
Most importantly I've followed the steps listed here http://www.bios-mods.com/bios-recovery/i...-recovery/ where I've downloaded all three BIOS versions from HP's site (sp48895, sp47530 and sp46806). I've tried both FAT and FAT32 formatted partitions with the disk named HP_TOOLS. When I boot the laptop into the BIOS recovery it beeps intermittently as if it is reading the drive for files and will beep for a few moments then continues to flash the caps/num. I am kind of at my wits end as I am not sure what else to do. I've also tried making the file name based on the INI file:
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt
