How to Reprogram a BIOS - The easy way to rewrite a bios on a Hp laptop

[@markmaharaj8861]

I was having the same problem with an HP laptop. I gave up on it, but after watching this video, I went and downloaded the BIOS driver on a flash drive I use the B key and Windows key just as you said I didn't think it would have work. But to my surprise, it was magical when I saw that screen come on. I do a little laptop repairs, so I want to say thank you for this video and thank you for your help. God bless you

[@creativeworx47]

[@NathanSheather]

Thank you so much. I literally called HP Tech Support and they couldn't assist me with any information regarding bios software on a USB stick. They just asked me to hold the windows and B button and hold the power which obviously didn't work. they suggested buying a new notebook lol. Thank you soo much again. so glad to have my laptop working again.

[@crisr.1954]

Finally someone take the time to explain this correctly. Other videos only show one part and other times a speedy recovery without the actual steps. I have a desktop. I will try this and let you know if it works. Thank you so much.

[@NarasimhaB]

Wow, if this method works on all HP laptops, this is literally GOD MODE of doing the BIOS. Thanks a ton for sharing this beautiful trick!

[@NarasimhaB]

Hope a similar workaround method is available for other laptop brands as well.

[@Infiniti25]

Narasimha B it is. You should check out My Digital Life forums and win bios forums for guides. This works on older laptops using insyde bios too. Each manufacturer will have their specific key press though so do some research. If unsure join the Discord where someone may be able to assist 👍😎

[@rened4804]

@@Infiniti25 Ok, I will check it out!

[@CodeAsm]

My Acer aspire one netbook from 2010 has this too, resurrected it twice with this method. Then flash died, soldering in new one and used method again. Still kinda works, it's just a super slow machine by today's standards. My Lenovo can do too, but firmware must be signed by Lenovo, can't flash a whitelist removed bios for any wifi, I need real external programmers for that

[@NarasimhaB]

@@Infiniti25 I am already on discord as chaitanya121.

[@PerrynBecky]

Thank you for this. I bricked my HP laptop when I was updating the bios from HP itself, and I'm going to try this method to see if I can resurrect that machine. I really liked it, and I want to get it going again if I can.

[@CodeAsm]

It should be possible, worst case, buy a preprogrammed bios flashchip and solder it in place of your old one. Or let someone do it for you. Just 8 pins on most flashroms.

[@cistokrvnibosanac1266]

@@CodeAsm how much chip costa

[@CodeAsm]

@@cistokrvnibosanac1266 unprogrammed not much, 1 to 5 euro dollars depending on the amount of storage. The smaller ones ofcourse cheaper. Preprogrammed depends on the seller. Had to buy a 32mbit rom for 12 euro. Preprogrammed, worked nice. Bought a programmer myself later for arround 20. Now I can program any myself. Look on eBay, for an indication atleast. Some ROMs need a bit of work, like adding unique serial numbers, other laptops store that on a different chip. If you can rea dthe old one, you might be able to recover the rom.

[@cistokrvnibosanac1266]

@@CodeAsm lets say that laptop chip is lost due someone working before,and i ordered that c34 something chip programmer ,can i make it work?

[@Radek__]

that's nice! I've fixed so many laptops using method: desolder bios chip, put into programmer, download bios dump from service forums, prepare that bios dump (by clean me-region part), then write that bios to chip, and then solder it back to the borad. Then repeat using different bios dump if this one is not wroking. And you did it very quickly, without solder iron and programmer - without worry about me region, windows 10 key (which is stored in bios code) and MAC key for network. Such a nice, time saving method.

[@qaddory]

Hi, you seem an expert! I'm having the same problem. Can you help me to fix my samsung np300 laptop? Please

[@Radek__]

@@qaddory what's happend?

[@qaddory]

@@Radek__ no bios,no windows boot. I think the cause of this problem when i installed windows 10 by GPT format,i change the bios option so i can instal it, and was installed sucessfuly, But later on i got the problem, i can't boot windows and i can't get into bios..the screen just flashing!!😑 Any idea please?

[@Radek__]

​ @qaddory You can enter to bios settings in 4 ways: 1.power-up the laptop and keep pressing F2 and release and again pressing - do it quickly all the time in the loop 2.power-up the laptop and keep pressing F10 - then you will see boot menu - you can select last option "enter setup" 3.remove hard drive from laptop, and with no DVD-disk inside and no pendrive inside usb, power-up the laptop. 4. take out small bios battery on the motherboard to reset bios settings to default mode. --------- as you know correctly - if you are using GPT installation on pendrive (instead of MBR) you have to change bios settings from "legacy" to "uefi boot/ ufefi mode/etc", this will allow you to install Windows in GPT mode, BUT if you had installed before Windows with MBR on hard disk -and now you're trying to install new Windows but this time in GPT mode then you have to remember that during installation process - when you're selecting partitions on hard drive to install windows - you HAVE TO remove everything -delete all partitions -and create new one - because only then your hard drive will be converted from MBR to GPT mode. Otherwise, there is another way - if you need your old partiotions and you cannot delete all - then you can keep your old partitions in MBR mode but you have to take out your hard drive from laptop, connect it to other laptop/PC and use software like AOMEI Partition Assistant to convert disk from MBR to GPT (right click on main block of your hard drive (not on partitions but on the main block with size of hard disk) and on the pop-up menu you will find "convert to GPT disk" So you have few ways to do it. I hope I helped you well. Greetings from Poland

[@qaddory]

@@Radek__ thanks for your help, i appreciate it. I've already done the 3 steps you've mentioned, but nothing happened.the screen just flashing..i will try step 4 even i don't have idea where exactly this bettery on motherboard or how it looks like..but i'll try. About the installation, yes i did the same and that which makes the problem!i don't know why! Maybe because my laptop too old.. The main problem i can't get the bios options to reset it back to mbr.. Anyway,i'll try step 4 and see. Thank you so much bro.

[@iddqds]

@@darwinibay2174 you mean the recovery procedure works but you get black screen after completion?

[@abot4694]

TLDR: This worked and thank you so much! I was updating an old HP laptop to Windows 11. Everything seemed good and then it did a BIOS update during the restart. I really am not sure WHY HP does this because it seems to have bricked a few other persons laptops on the hp forums, and it did the same with mine. Failed during the BIOS update and kept turning on to a black screen. I could tell the display was on as it just went to full black and I could hear the fan running. I searched up the BIOS driver on HP website and prepared the USB drive and held the windows and B key until I got to the BIOS screen. So happy this fixed it as I thought my pc was busted forever.

Funny. 2 weeks ago I received a 8 inch tablet from a client with no image. I sent an repair estimate of a new mainboard to the client and he accepted. I copied the BIOS from the old board to the new one, and when I tried to turn it On, it had the exact same symptoms. It was a corrupted BIOS. Contacted the board company and they supplied me the BIOS for that board.The customer was happy he didn't have to pay for a new mainboard. Very rare stuff.

I think the work you have done on KZbin has inspired me to go forward with this idea and I would greatly appreciate you to come on board for 25% of the rewards. I would need a pcb to be designed that runs on 12v I’m hoping to have someone to finance the patent onboard for 25% of profit.
