BIOS for my HP Pavilion dm4 notebook i3-2310m Windows 7 (64 bit)

Hello,
I need some help in downloading a BIOS update to my HP Pavilion dm4 notebook i3-2310m Windows 7 (64 bit OS). I went to this web site after reading replies to other users' problems.  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5051... I downloaded the following BIOS update file and tried updating the BIOS (using InsydeFlash, which popped up when I run the sp56058.exe file). The InsydeFlash displays a message that this file sp56058.exe is not for my machine.
Released: 2012-02-08
File name: sp56058.exe [1/1, 4.25M]
Version:     F.27
Compatibility:
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows XP
Could some one please help me as to how I should go aboutupdating my BIOS, because my HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook battery does not charge, but is up and running when it is connected to the electric outlet.
Thanks in advance.
Sean

Hi @nsean 
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having problems with your notebook batter and updating your BIOS.
It is strange that it is saying it is not for your notebook when you got it from the support page, assuming of course it is the correct support page.
Have you tried a previous version of the BIOS, from the same drivers page?
Also have you tried to troubleshoot the battery and power itself?
You may want to look through these pages related to the battery and power adapter to see if anything clicks.

Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)

Let me know if any of that helps.

  • Just restored my HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook PC to the original state and I am getting error

    I recently did system restore back to the original state when I bought my HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook PC. Product Number: A6X76UAR#ABA And Now When I tried resgitering my Biometric Device with Windows 7, It tells me that Windows did not find any biometric devices on this computer. You might need to attach your device or install device drivers. I tried everything even searching on this website, I couldn't find the biometric driver. Could you help me with this please?

    I grasp you did a system recovery back to factory and now you are missing the driver for the fingerprint reader.
    You have a couple of options, you can download the driver from the HP website and install or use recovery manager to install original driver.

  • Speakers disjointed and lagged sound - HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook PC

    Every now and then my laptop faults when playing videos/music. The laptop is a HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook PC with Intel Core i3-2330M @2.20GHz
    Basically sometimes when playing a video/music the speaker is distorted and laggy. Usually when watching a video this is also laggy. The computer seems to run really slowly and trying to move the mouse or type it takes a few seconds for the letters to appear.

    I would think that with 6GB of RAM you wouldn't be having lagging issues either...
    Especially since it is under warranty, let HP look at it and see what they say.

  • I can't remember my password for opening my Pavilion dm4 1063dLaptop

    I can't remember the password for my Pavilion dm4-1063d Laptop and have been unsuccessful in following any of the online advice most of which assumes I know more than I do.  For instance, I found instructions that say open a command in administrator mode by right-clicking and choosing "Run as administrator" but no information as to where that is done. What is administrator mode?  After entering that command it says I should now type "administrator/active:yes, etc. Where is that supposed to happen?

    Welcome Steve.
    Is this a Power-on password???
    Or a Windows login password???
    Let us know.

  • Where can I find a manual that shows onboard backup jumpers for BIOS for a HP pavilion dv7-3135eo ?

    Hi,
    I have a HP pavilion dv7-3135eo with a corrupt BIOS. I get the 2 flashing LEDs on the CAPS LOCK.  This leaves me unable to do anything with the machine as it won't start at all. The solution to this problem (LED Codes) is to "Restore BIOS from onboard backup (jumpers)".  Is there any place where I can get a service manual or other manual that shows me where this jumper is? 
    Thanks in advance for any advice!
     - Tom

    BIOS restore function is usually initiated by holding winkey+b on powerup.
    It *may* require battery removal, ac power removal, holding start button to bleed onboard capacitive power.
    Then winkey+b before ac plug power and power button until lit, then release other keys.
    System should blink, may beep. May or may not display a bios recovery screen.
    If it shows some activity, but does not reboot, give it five minutes before trying again.
    It could be verifying in the background.
    Some recovery procedures beyond this are here:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-compaq/304332-c700-cq40-cq45-dv4-dv5-dv6-hdx18t-insyde-bios-recov...
    If it's not insyde but is pheonix bios, check around the board or google for it - enough bios modders out there that you should find a procedure that works.

  • HOW MUCH IS THE PRICE FOR HARD DISK PAVILION G4 notebook?

    I tried the test hard hisk but its say Boot device not found or hard disk not exsit. how much is this hard disk cost?
    Thanks

    Yes, at least for your laptop and most others, they are industry standard hard drives. You do not need an "HP" hard drive and, in fact, HP does not make hard drives. You can use any drive at all that is 2.5 inches wide, 9.5 mm thick and is a SATA hard drive. This one would work fine:

  • Microphone not working on pavilion dv7 Notebook QG728EA#ABU Windows 7 Pro

    Well I am sorry to see no one has yet to reply to my post on my defective laptop. But if anyone at HP support would reply it would be helpful!!!
    Also to add now to the microphone fault above and I now experiencing problems with the in-built video camera not working it is the same issues as above as in you have to move the laptop screen backwards & forwards to get to work..i.e. there is fault with the hardware connections matrix for the device.
    Can someone please answer my questions!!

    This definitely sounds like a hardware issue with the webcam/mic in the notebook. I would recommend calling HP phone support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it repaired or replaced.

  • HP Pavilion dv9825nr Notebook PC not working

    Hi..Please help!!!!!!!!!
    I have an HP Pavilion dv9825nr Notebook PC, with Windows Vista,  in dire need of help.  My computer stopped working a couple of days ago.  I keep getting an error message on blue screen that says a problem has been detected and Windows have been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the 1st time that you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer.  If this screen appears again, follow these steps: 
    Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.  If this is a new installation ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.
    If problems continue disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Start Up options, and then select safe mode.
    Btw, my battery went dead so I replaced it an new one by a company named Anker.  It's a 14.4V. It's identical to the one that HP provided so I thought.  At any rate, I just inserted the new battery after one day in my computer and the next day I received the message above. 
    Can someone please help me fix my computer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Karen

    Try to disconnect the battery and plug unit up to AC power and see if you still get the blue screen

  • How to flash bios for aspire 5745 when you have a black screen

    I attempted to update my bios for my Acer Aspire 5745 notebook and chose the wrong file.  The computer is giving me a black screen now. When I push the start button the lights come on the fan blows and thats all. I found a few sits on line giving me the procedure to flash an aspire one system. Here is the steps I took to do so to no avail. 1. When to the acer site and put the SNID number to my laptop to pull up my suggested downloads for my system. 2. I downloaded the file to my working computer. 3. I extracted the file and opened the file that said DOS. 4. I renamed the file zg5ia32.fd 5. checked my flash drive to make sure it is set to ( FAT ). 6. Transfered the file to the flash drive. 7. Pluged in the flash drive to my dead laptop while it was pluged into a powersorce. 8. Held down the FN and ESC buttons while pushing the power buttons. 9. Released the FN and ESC buttons when I noticed the power light blinking and the flash drive light up. 10. Waited for over 15 min.  but had no success. If anyone could tell me what I may have done wrong I would be much appriciated.  I also opened up the backside to the laptop and removed the little battery that was plugged it with a small white connector assuming it was the cmos battery but still nothing happended.

    I was never able to properly flash my bios. I had wondered if when I tried to update it I may have destroyed my bios in the process. Anyways I had purchased a motherboard for I think around 50.00 on ebay. It was used but was complete. All I had to do was take out the old motherboard and replace with the other one. It all came on after that with a new knowledge of not fix something that is not broken.

  • HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC

    I bought a HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC  with windows 8. The keyboard is unusual. next to the Z key in the last row in normal keyboards you get the shift key. But here there is another key (\ or |) in between Z key and shifit key. This is real nuisance as I am used to the normal keyboard. Can any one say what is the type of this keyboard or will HP replace this key board for a normal type key board. 
    Thank you very much for any body who can provide an answer,
