I have a hp 250 g5 notebook pc, I just want to upgrade it to a ssd and 16 ddr ram memory, it has windows 10 pro. I went hp software/drivers downloads and found the bios the corresponds my pc: f:48--12-17-2019. I downloaded and save it into a usb. Is that all I need to upgrade my pc and boot it from the usb? Of that I have to load other drivers like sound, network and the like? Thank you for your answer if it happens that you read my post.

thank you for this, it's much better explained than the said "instructions" there. also, if you create the "new folder" and install the bios package directly on the hp laptop (as you did on your pc), will update the bios right after the install is finished. much faster that way, and you don't even need a usb for it. that's how i just updated my 470 g2

I may be overreacting, but I'm upgrading to a new CPU and wanna make sure the BIOS is done right. I downloaded the newest bios version, saved it to the HPupdate desktop folder, and what was saved was the application to launch the HP flash utility. But, I ran the flash utility and chose the USB recovery option which saved a bunch of the files you showed in the video but there are some differences. I got 3 folders labed "EFI", "Hewlett Packard", and "HP". Each of the 3 folders seem to share almost all of the same files, even down to the sub folders (BIOS and BIOSUPDATE being in all 3 main folders) The only difference is in the "HP" folder and then into the BIOSUPDATE folder, there are less of the EFI, s09, s12, s14 files than in the main EFI and Hewlett Packard folders. I'm unsure if maybe the version I got from the HP site included all of what you dragged in from your download from the HP site, or if I missed something to move over?

yep, thats an error in hp bios updates, which i have too. If you try to run it manually, you'll get an error kind of "no ROM.CAB file found", and it's really missing. Also there is a post on hp community, where a couple users have that problem too. You know what HP support does? He started to convince user not to install update, because it have small changes and then started to ask all non-related to problem stuff, such as serial number etc. Easy solution is to write USB stick with livecd, copy folder C:\SWSetup\SP79709 from other windows pc (you should get this bios update from HP website) to your stick, rename file ..\SWSetup\SP79709\68SCE.CAB (it can be different for you - see "system information"-"BIOS Revision" on HP PC) into ROM.CAB, then boot on HP comp using LiveCD and start HPQFlash.exe. Thats the only way it worked for me Too bad i still cant connect my ssd, even if i change sata mode to 3Gb, as many people advice.

Nothing - just wait and don't turn it off using the power button! Windows may be trying to install updates in the background as it shuts down (if you have automatic updates turned on that is) - if you kill it before it's finished then then it will just try to do the whole thing again the next time you shut it down. The alternative is to go into 'Windows Update' while Windows is running, check for updates if necessary then watch as it applies any outstanding ones until there are no more left; it may well still take a long time to shut down after this but it will tell you what it's doing with a progress readout. Once the updates have been applied it should shut down as quickly as normal - Patience Grasshopper!

Seems like the BIOS update failed or the BIOS file you downloaded wasn't the correct one for your laptop. Did you interrupt the BIOS update while it was still running or lose power or something else that didn't allow the update to complete? You should ensure that you download the correct BIOS update file for your laptop model, from the HP website ONLY - don't trust downloads from any other site, then follow the procedure in the video up to creating the USB drive with all the necessary files on it using another computer. Finally, follow the procedure in the post by @metaorior above - that doesn't require you to access the laptop's BIOS menu again to do the BIOS update as shown in the video, which you can't do now because you broke it.

In earlier versions of the BIOS the 'Update' option may not have been there, it may only have been added in a later version than you have, like the one you are trying to update to. You need to follow the procedure described in the post by @metaorior above, which does not require the update option in the BIOS; indeed, his procedure should work even if the BIOS is corrupt and you cannot even boot the laptop or access its BIOS.
@stevebekus21478 ай бұрын
See my reply to the first reply to this post from @MrOlegrom. Why do you want to update the BIOS on your laptop if it's working and booting OK anyway, unless you want to add some new hardware that isn't recognised, like a new SSD for example, as a few of the other posts here are trying to do? There is a significant risk that you will brick your laptop if you get any part of this procedure wrong so if you don't NEED to update the BIOS, DON'T DO IT and if you don't know exactly what you're doing but still need to update then get a technician who does know what they're doing to do it for you - this is non-trivial procedure!

the usb has to be empty ?
@MyITWorkshop4 жыл бұрын
Hello Pampos, I normally do it on an empty USB, but no, it not necessary. However, if there is any problem booting from the USB, it's due to the extra files/folder you added to it. Finally, in order for the USB to boot, it needs to be formatted as FAT32. Hope it helps Thanks for the comment!

You should be able to do the first part of this procedure, ie extracting the necessary files in the service pack to the folder on your desktop, even on a different brand laptop as long as it's running Windows, but be aware that .NET version 2.0 is required to run most of these service pack extraction executables, especially ones for older models like the DV6, so install that before you start if it isn't already. You DO NOT however want to run the actual BIOS update procedure, which may start automatically after the extraction has finished, on a different brand laptop or even a different model from the same manufacturer because that will most likely fail as you have seen so just cancel that. Proceed as shown in the video from 8.15 onwards and copy all the files in the desktop folder to a FAT or FAT32 formatted USB drive then follow the procedure described in the post by @metaorior above, which does not require the update option in the BIOS; you should be able to restore the DV6 BIOS successfully that way but make absolutely sure that you have downloaded the correct BIOS for your laptop from the HP website - use your serial number, on the label beneath the battery in the battery compartment, to do so and don't trust downloads from any other source. There are many different models of the DV6 series with very different BIOSes so it is very important that you have the correct one.

Hello Matthew, I found out recently that if you have a laptop/desktop that has Windows Vista or older, (Maybe even win 7), HP does not support those devices anymore :/ Therefore, when you type the serial number and look for drivers it does not show anything. I know it is a bummer..... Thanks for the comment!

Hello Arif, I've made a video on how to downgrade the Bios version on a Dell desktop some months ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ7aZ2CBZ8eWeK8 It is not advisable to do it since you may damage your computer. However, I think i can do one whether it works or not for next week Friday. Thanks for the comment!

You can create the USB drive on a different computer as long as it's running Windows, just as the author does in the video; the same applies if your're running Linux or any other OS on the update target machine, you don't need to enter the OS to do the update.@@nonyhaha

Sir plz i need u r help i have hp laptop its shut off itself few minut fan battery ok but off automatic plz help
@stevebekus21478 ай бұрын
Charge the battery fully with the laptop turned off - the LED beside the charging port will be white not orange when fully charged. If that doesn't work then the laptop is probably overheating and the cooling system needs cleaning out because it is blocked with fluff; you'll probably need technical help with that as you'll need to dismantle the whole laptop to do it - it's a non-trivial operation but there are videos on KZbin that show you how to do it and if you do then don't forget to replace the heatsink compound between the heatsink and the CPU, THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT (you'll have to disconnect the heatsink from the CPU to clean the fan out properly).

We need a bios update for an HP G62 laptop. With the screen black your missing the point because we can't put jack from said laptop in laptop because it don't work get it ? Worst possible outlook is the Gag... HP login/sign up make a password they like but I don't understand hence my being here...my hope was to use a OTG Flash drive Android...then have HP site download it into my useless 2020 moto e phone & automatically load it into a bootable file ready to fully update the g62 craptop...then I discovered some cellular phones are unable to operate a OTG stick...(sigh!). So upset...

Hello Bongo cat, i like the memes 👍 A Bios update does not reset the Bios password. For that, the best option os to remove the Cmos battery, the Cmos battery looks like a silver coin and is located in different places of the motherboard depending on the computer model. Once carefully removed leave like for around 30 min or more, then put it back in. That should reset any passwords/configuration in the Bios. Hope it helps Thanks for the comment!

Hello, If you dont have the admin password to access the bios then you wont be able to change any setting in it. Laptops, in most cases, are more problematic when trying to remove the admin or startup password as they dont have the jumper as desktops do to reset it. Removing the cmos works for some models. In your case it seems it did not. One way that comes to mine and if available, NOTE: I haven’t tested this, would be to run the bios update from windows as for many models it come as an .exe file. 1 mote thing, if you have your hdd/ssd encrypted with Bilocker, disable it first before updating the Bios. Otherwise you might not have access to it after the update unless of course you have the recovery key for bitlocker. Hope it help Ty for the comment

You should be able to boot the laptop from the CD-ROM by repeatedly pressing the F9 key as you power on the laptop then choosing the CD-ROM from the list of boot options displayed, unless booting from CD-ROM is disabled in the BIOS, which may be why you need to access that first. Try it and if it doesn't work then try using the 'rufus' utility (Google it) to put the contents of your CD-ROM or ISO file onto a USB drive and try booting and installing from that instead (same way, F9 while powering on, and see if the USB drive is seen in the list of options) - USB booting may not be disabled even if booting from CD-ROM is.
