Insyde BIOS for CQ56-219wm

I have a CQ56-219wm. It runs Insyde BIOS version F.14.
I went to the download page, but all that is available there is a UEFI version, sp51327, or an older one, sp50291. But both say they are UEFI.
I installed sp51327, but it did nothing to the actual BIOS. It seems to be a support platform for BIOS extensibility.
Where can I get the Insyde BIOS for this unit? I'm having hardware problems and the flash is my last hope.
Thanks.

Hi @paul1149
I grasp you are having some hardware problems and have updated the bios but there was no change. The sp51327 is the latest recommended bios update for your notebook.
I suggest you try restoring the bios.
Here is a link to assist you. Restoring the BIOS
As you are having a hardware issues you may want to test for hardware failures.

How much does it cost to get a webcam installed on a presario CQ56-219wm from HP?

Just Purchased a Presario CQ56-219wm, thought it had a webcam installed, obviously it doesn't ; fooled like many others. How do I get one installed from HP and how much does it cost? Where do you send the computer and how long does it take? Estimates coming from San Antonio, TX. Thanks

Hi ezpowell,
This laptop doesn't come with a webcam as a hardware item on the specifications. Did you see in the computer specifications that this laptop had a webcam installed?

If you need a webcam you can purchase one from several companies, and then install it to the laptop. Click the link below for some prices on webcams from newegg.com.

Bios password started showing up on a presario cq56 -219wm laptop

I am working on a Presario CQ56-219wm which suddenly started asking for a bios pasword (Enter Administrator Password). If I hit enter 3 times, it give me the code of 82026917. I know this is a motherboard fault causing this, can some one please give me the code to get into this so I can reset the password in bios? Appreciate any one's help in advance.

Alright I am working on the same exact laptop (Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM) and I am also trying to get into the BIOS and it is saying the same thing (Enter Administrator Password) I don't have a password set up on this and I am the only administrator. After 3 times of guessing it then says (System Disabled 53546280) What do I do?

Can't see post on a Presario CQ56-219WM while using an external monitor

I can't see any post info on a Presario CQ56-219WM while using an external monitor. The built-in monitor has been broken for some time and I've been using an external monitor via the vga port. Recently I had an issue with Windows and must now perform a system recovery. Whereas the built-in monitor does light up there is no portion that is viewable. It's damaged in a way that has everything totally distorted. I disconnected it hoping that the system would reroute directly to the external but unfortunately it didn't. I'm confident that my tinkering inside the laptop wasn't a factor since prior to disassembly the external monitor was never active until the system booted into Windows, plus I can reconnect the built-in monitor and it still lights up just as it did before.
Is there any known keystrokes to activate the external during post?...other than the F4 key

Hello Kerdomrikman,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
In regards to your question on known keystrokes to activate external during post, there aren't any. The graphics won't switch to external until after the post.
What you can try, if your able to veiw the BIOS on the external you can run diagnostics from there.
I hope this answers your question. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Same Windows7 product key on different laptops, CQ56-219WM and CQ60-615DX. Is that right??

I purchased two used Compaq Presario laptops, a CQ56-219WM and CQ60-615DX. I used ProductKey software to obtain the Windows7 Home Premium product key for each machine. The keys for both machines were the same. Is this right?? Can I depend on these keys if I wish to load Windows7 as part of a recovery for either machine?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Paul_Tikkanen's answer is correct, in that you can't use the HP OEM SLP key that you retrieved from the computer(s) to activate Windows in the normal manner. As Paul stated, you can use the Windows product key that is printed on the Microsoft COA affixed to the computer to activate Windows.
There is however, a different method that can be used to activate either computer using the same HP OEM SLP key. This method requires the retrieval of both the HP OEM SLP key and HP OEM SLP certificate that was factory installed on the computer(s). The computer's BIOS must also contain a matching HP OEM SLIC table for pre-activation to work correctly. Please see HP Forum post "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for more detials.
Qoute;
"1b) Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
1c) Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from."

Upgrade CPU presario CQ56-219WM

Hi, I'm considering buying a Presario CQ56-219WM with a Celeron 900 cpu.
According to Intel's website it has the same socket and family as several Core2 duo CPU's that I have sitting in my inventory. The celeron is a single core 2.2ghz, and I'd like to use one of the following Core2 duo.
T7100 1.8ghz
T7300 2.0ghz
T7500 2.2ghz
T7700 2.4ghz
I really don't think I'd find the machine usable with the celeron, but should do quite nicely once I drop in one of my CPUs, I just don't want any surprises, like a soldered cpu, or a bios that doesn't allow cpu swap, or any similar unforseen issue.
Your guidence is much appriciated.
TuuS

Definitely a significant performance improvement. I inherited the laptop with a bad hard drive. After putting a new 7200rpm drive in it and reloading W7 I didn't do much with it with the Celeron 900 processor but it would not even play a 480p Youtube video without stuttering and frame freezes. If you ran Taskmgr the processor was flat out at 100% just trying to pull that off. I had the T7100 sitting around and figured I'd see how hard it was to try it in the laptop. It took me about 45min to get it disassembled and the new processor in it. It runs YT 720p videos just fine now without any interruption and Taskmgr shows 39-50% proc utilization. I find the YT test is a good one because it does a decent job of working the hardware and that's what most folks do with their laptop anyway. It's not Core i7 but it will work just fine for the family member that needed a laptop.

Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM keyboard frequently misses letters when I am typing

When I am typing on my Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM I frequently miss letters and spaces. I have a USB keyboard plugged in, but the missing letters happens on both the laptop's keyboard and the USB keyboard. I did not notice this issue happening before I installed a Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station. However, I am a bit baffled since this problem happens even when the docking station is not connected and I am just using the integrated notebook keyboard.
I use Windows 7 Home Premium.
Would someone be able to tell me what to do, if anything, to resolve this issue? It's really frustrating to have to constantly spell check to try and catch the errors!

Hi MrsJP. Try updating the BIOS in your notebook. Go to this link http://goo.gl/rk8CV and select which version of Windows 7 you are using and click next. It will display all downloads available for your notebook, including the BIOS update.
Here http://goo.gl/wTZr6 is a document that will hopefully answer any questions about finding and updating/installing your BIOS.
Please let me know if this fixes your issue or if you need anything else.

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.

Does a Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM have a webcam?

My Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM seems to have a place for a webcam, the manual says there is a webcam there (in select models) and the device drivers claim I have a "virtual" webcam.
So do I have a webcam or not?

According to the specs for your notebook, no.

Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM Webcam Module Cable Included?

Hello,
I recently purchased the Webcam Module part for my Compaq Pressario CQ56-219WM as instructed here. My laptop has the exact same bezel as pictured there. Before I open up my laptop I was wondering if the cable is already included inside. Do I need to purchase the Display Cable Kit?

The Webcam module (Part#:626656-001) is hardware part which you can order from HP or elsewhere and install by yourself. It is (7) shown in picture below.
You can find service manual here

What's the correct bios for my Satellite A100? Is PSAA9E = PSAA9 ?

Hi,
I wanna do a BIOS Update. But If I go to the Toshiba-driversite: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp and choose Notebook-->Satellite-->A series there are listed:
A100 (PSAA2)
A100 (PSAA8)
A100 (PSAA9)
A100 (PSAAN)
A100 (PSAAR)
At the undersite of my Laptop is printed: PSAA9E. Is this the same as PSAA9 ?

Hi mate,
dont worry and download the bios for PSAA9 since toshiba cuts the last digits from the model number because the last digit probably the region or country describes. I am not sure, but what I am sure is that PSAA9E definetively PSAA9 is.
Cheers
