Recovering BIOS on Pavilion DV6z-3000 Notebook

Due to a wide array of bizzare hardware behavior, I decided to flash the HP Pavilion DV6z-3000's bios. The device hung during the flashing process. Now I can't get it to boot. How to I recover the BIOS?

I have never used the USB method so am not able to offer much on it. If you are following the procedure outlined at bottom of page on the link I posted earlier and it is not working ..I am at a loss.Only other thing I can think to try is maybe removing the hdd during the process.
````````````````````````````````````````````
If the HP_TOOLS volume on your HDD has been deleted, a USB key with an HP_TOOLS volume can be used as an alternative. The key can be created manually or by using the HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ or the new HP UEFI Support Environment SoftPAQ and selecting the Create a USB key option. The USB key does not have to be bootable. However, this assumes the boot block is not corrupted in which case a repair is required.
To recover the BIOS on your notebook using the USB key:
Plug the notebook into an AC adapter.
Insert the USB key with HP_Tools installed into an available USB port.
Press the Power button while holding the Windows key and the B key.
The emergency recovery feature replaces the BIOS with the version on the USB key. The computer reboots automatically when the process is completed successfully.

How do I enable TPM in the bios on Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

Hi,
I have run into a problem trying to enable MS Bitlocker on Windows 8.1 on
Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
BIOS version is: F.1C
In the Windows UI, the TPM (Trusted Computing Module) management console says that I need to enable TPM in the BIOS.
Issue:
There does not appear to be any proverbial "on" switch in the BIOS for TPM versions 1.2 (or 2).
Question:
Anyone out there know how to resolve this?
I know there may be a way to get around this using group policy on the machine or to buy a USB key solution.
Looking for the hardware solution in the laptop if possible please.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi:
As far as I am aware, HP consumer notebooks do not have a Trusted Platform Module chip.
Check the device manager...if there is a TPM chip, there will be a Security Devices category in the device manager, and you would see the TPM chip listed under that category.
If not, then there isn't one.

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.
Using and Testing the AC Power Adapter
Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
AC Adapter Battery Charging Indicator LED Does Not Display Immediately When Plugged In
Improving Battery Performance (Windows 8, 7, Vista)
Let me know if any of that helps.

How to flash BIOS on suse bundled s series notebooks?

How to flash BIOS on suse bundled s series notebooks?

I have the above unit (I love it!!) with BIOS version 14CN51WW BIOS running UBUNTU9.04 (did not like the SUSE linux supplied. I hate the loud bleep when you remove the power adapter and also have had a few problems with LINUX hanging with the suspend mode - so I thought I might try to update the BIOS to the latest Version: 14CN67WW
However, how do you do this other than in Windows?
I tried to install Windows XP and 2000 onto a spare SATA disk that I installed into the IdeaPad - but halfway through the installation I get a stop error message saying computer is not ACPI compliant
The only other way I have is a Windows XP routine that loads XP into memory and allows a virtual disk - where I could install the BIOS files - but will this work if I flash from here - don't want to screw up the system board
Older IBM's had an executable file that ran from a DOS session and flashed the BIOS
Anyone got any advice on how to approach this - before I actually do it

HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: restore system and drivers

Hi. Some days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At anytime I tried to switch it on, a message error appeared and system was blocked. Message was: FILE:\BOOT\BCD Status 0xc000000f, asking for running the Windows 7 System disk. But System disk didn't run at all. I checked situation and found the hard disk with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a partition named BOOT (X that was a replica of C:. When I tried to restore the system by the recovery disk, something got control of the recovery disk, so that C: could not be formatted; neither X: was. Also, I tried to cancel files in X: but disk was protected and didn't allow any changes. So I could only get my hard disk uninstalled and all the partitions were cleaned off. I got my hard disk perfectly cleaned, but my recovery disk could not be installed properly. Therefore, system was not restored yet. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with restored system? any ideas?
This question was solved.

Depending on the age on your computer, it may have come from the factory with 5 or more partitons. This is common on newer computers that utilize UEFI and GPT partitions. The "Windows 7 System disk", the computer wass asking for is either a Windows 7 installation disc or a Windows 7 Repair Disc. Neither of these discs come with your HP computer and must be downloaded and/or created in Windows.
Start by using your HP Recovery Disc set (should be 3 or more DVDs). Insert disc #1 and reboot your computer to start the process. Insert the remaining discs as requested, until the recovery is finished.
If this doesn't work and you can read the 25-digit Microsoft Windows 7 product key on th Microsoft COA affixed to your computer, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download Windows 7 SP1, create the Windows installation DVD, and install Windows 7.

HP Pavilion g6 Notebook - Sudden shutdowns without warning when battery is low

My notebook is only ten months old. Within the last week, it started shutting down unexpectedly when the battery was low (but not at a critical level). If I try to restart it, there won't be a response until I plug in the adaptor cord. Usually there will be around 20% of my battery left when my computer is booted up after such a shutdown, so I don't think it's because of my battery being low. (Besides, when I've accidentally used my laptop until it has to hibernate, the light next to the port for the adapter cord usually blinks to tell me it's the battery.)
Initially I thought it was a problem with overheating, so I cleaned my vents and bought an external laptop cooler when it first shut down unexpectedly two weeks ago. However, the shutdowns have become more frequent since then. I've run the Memory Diagnostic Tool, the HP Battery Check, and updated my BIOS. No problems have come up; in fact, everything seems to be running perfectly. I also ran AVG and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. No problems there either.
What could be the problem? Thanks for any help!

Mines started doing exactly the same! Its just 12 months old though and hardly ever gives me a low battery warning. Then it will turn off without shutting down the proper way. When I plug in and turn back on, the battery says its at 20-25%
Is there actually a solution to this and whats causing it?..because if it's the battery then **bleep**..they don't last long.

Lost all sound on my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook

I have a HP Pavillion dv6 notebook with a Widows 7 operating system and have lost all sound. Any suggestions as this is a 6 month old notebook?

I had the same issue last night after an automatic BIOS update. I read about 7 pages of posts that seem to deal with the same issue and found a combination of actions that seem to have restored my audio functions completely. I posted the solution and it resolved the issue for at least one other user who commented back. It it works for you, please also post that it worked for you. I suspect there are alot of users out there that have or will be experiencing the same issue. It would be nice if HP would post the appropriate solution, it seems to have been going on for awhile.
1. Through 'Device Manager / Sound, video and game controller' I uninstalled my audio driver (IDT High Definition CODEC) and also deleted the driver software for the device.
2. Through 'Programs and Features' I uninstalled the IDT Audio Software (vers 1.0.6418.0) that was installed with the BIOS update.
--> This forced a reboot.
--> When my system rebooted it automatically searched and found the appropriate audio driver -- now I've got audio and Media Center works fine...
Hope this helps you.

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

Hp pavilion dv7 notebook numeric keypad not working

The numeric keypad on my hp pavilion dv7 notebook does not work. I can't get the num lock to work or any of the number keys to respond.

Hi,
While this could be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click the entry 'Standard PS/2 Keyboard' and select Uninstall.
Shutdown the notebook.
Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Note: If the keyboard doesn't work when trying to access or navigate the Bios Menu, then this is probably a hardware fault.

HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC - Continuously turns on and off after new ram is inserted repetitively

I have just installed another 4 gb of ram making it 8 gb. It works fine the first time it has started up with the new ram but when it has been turned off with the new ram installed for at least 30 minutes it just refuses the ram and just turns on and off repetitively. I have to take out the new ram and turn on the computer on to get it running again. Once it has had a full start up without the new ram I can insert the new ram again but then this problem consists.

Please Help.. HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook has totally stopped working

Hi
If anyone can help me I would be grateful. My computer just stopped working today and left me with a blank screen, when I try to turn on I just get the HP logo. I have run a hard disk and memory test and they both came back OK.
I have my life on here and when I took it to the Geek Squad they said it was probably the hard drive and wanted tons of money to TRY and fix it.
I have a blank black/blue page, I have removed the battery and tried a hard start, I replaced the battery, I do have a flashing caps lock light and my mouse pad is illuminated.
I don't know what to do next and have my life on this computer including many family photos that cannot be replaced.
Any help or ideas would be gratefully received
Thanks

HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC keyboard malfunction

good afternoon,
I have a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC. As of (I think) yesterday, certain keys on my keyboard have stopped working like the six on both the number pad and number row, the five on the number row, the backslash (i think that's what it's called; right under the backspace), and the hyphen next to the +/=.
As far as I know nothing had been spilled on it and no sticky fingers have been touching it. No error messages have appeared. Is there a way to fix the problem without dismantling the entire keyboard? If not, how do I dismantle it?!
Thanks
