Where to download HP_TOOLS files for Presario CQ61?

Hi there. I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-335ev running Windows 7. The screen does't turn on and the laptop beeps. (I googled the Capslock/ Numlock LED blink code and found out that the error is a BIOS Corruption Failure)
I know there is a way to recover the BIOS using the HP_TOOLS partition. But I have installed the OS again couple of months back wiping out the HP_TOOLS partition. I have access to the hard drive and my plan is to try copying files of HP_TOOLS to my 2nd data partition of my hard drive and performing a WIN+B BIOS recovery.
What I need is the files of another CQ61-335ev.
(PS- I know there is an option to do the same with a USB drive. I searched for days looking for a clear tutorial and found none for my model. If you know how to perform a USB BIOS recovery, please help)
Thank you all in advance.

Here is the page with BIOS revisions for your laptop. Download one, use something like 7Zip to extract the files and place them on the flash drive. Try the procedure again.

  • I want to re-install Premiere Elelments 8, but cannot find downloads for version 8.  Where can I download the files for version 8?

    I want to re-install Premiere Elelments 8, but cannot find downloads for version 8.  I have the serial no.  Where can I download the files for version 8?

    Hi Jeff.  I did purchase Premiere Elements 8 from Adobe (download version), but couldn't find the files to download again on the adobe.com website.  I did, however carry out another search of files from my old PC and eventually found the files to reinstall on my new PC, using my registered product serial no.  Installation has worked.  It seems that Adobe has stopped supporting version 8 as I could only find version 9 and later for download from the adobe.com website.
    Thanks for your prompt reply

  • HT2188 I just got an iPad mini, when I try to upload my iPhone backup from my Mac i get the message to upgrade my iTunes. I can not seen to find where the download link is for iPads on apple website. Can anyone help?

    I just got an iPad mini, when I try to upload my iPhone backup from my Mac i get the message to upgrade my iTunes. I can not seen to find where the download link is for iPads on apple website. Can anyone help?

    The message is referring to iTunes on your computer, not the iPad : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    The built-in apps on the iPad can only be updated via iOS updates, so if your iPad mini is on iOS 6.0.2 then its up-to-date

  • I need to download installation files for my Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5.5.

    I need to download installation files for my Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5.5. There are no links to be found for this version on the adobe site..
    I have two licenses for adobe acrobat, but cannot find my software. Any help with a direct link to the standard version would be helpful.
    The professional version does not work with the standard licens.

    if you purchased from adobe, log in to your account and check your order history, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
    if you acquired via dell, https://smartsource.dell.com/
    if you purchased elsewhere, contact the vendor.

  • Cannot preview filetype please download the file for viewing and garbled text on a downloaded image

    Dear Madam or Sir,
    When I click on a file titled "Subject Access Request Letter re Account Number 12527629 Sort Code 60-10-34 24022015.pdf", which is stored in my Account on Acrobat.com I get the response "Cannot preview filetype please download the file for viewing". This file was created from an OpenOffice .odt document of the same title. Please advise.
    I downloaded an image, which purports to be a .pdf, from the Royal Mail Track & Trace web facility using my Samsung S5. The text that I expect to see might as well be hieroglyphics for all its similarity to text. Please advise.
    Regards,
    Ron Platt
    PS I have tried to attach both files (.pdf) but am advised "That image type is forbidden". Please advise.

    Hi Laura,
    I have found the solution to be:
       1. Not to upload to "Document Cloud" from the .pdf stored on my PC and
       open on screen.
       2. To login to Acrobat.com from the .pdf stored on my PC and open on
       screen, select "Document Cloud" and the sub-folder required and then upload
       the file
    I have a feeling that there is a glitch somewhere, because after I have
    opened a number of .pdf files stored on my PC, and irrespective of whether
    I have closed them prior to opening the next .pdf file or left them open,
    Acrobat Reader will display (Not responding) in the window title bar. The
    "number of files" equates to less than 10. I, then, click on the X at the
    right of the window title bar and I am given the option of "Close the
    program" or "Wait until the program responds" (or words to that effect). If
    i choose the latter, nothing happens and I am back at the unhappy status
    quo. If I choose the former, I am told that Windows is searching for a
    solution, which it never finds. I, then, have to shut down the PC and then
    start it up, again. Clicking "Restart" does not solve the problem.
    I have described the above before and received the usual "it cannot be
    Acrobat, it is perfect" response. I could, I suppose, screenshot/snip every
    sequential screen but why should I have to when I have described the
    sequence as fully as I can. So I have found a "workaround" that does not
    solve the "Not responding" problem but does solve the problem of not being
    able to upload from the open .pdf file to the sub-folder in "Document
    Cloud". I am, on occasion, working through the myriad of .pdf files that
    are in the root folder of "Document Cloud" and putting them in the correct
    sub-folder(s).
    I have today read that Google is starting a cellphone service in the USA in
    which a monthly "access" rental (US$20) is paid plus a GB capacity usage is
    elected for at a rate specified, e.g. US$10.00/GB. If the subscriber  does
    not use the elected GB capacity Google refunds the US$value of the unused
    elected GB capacity.
    Suggestion: Adobe applies that kind of policy to its online software
    package usage rates, e.g. I elect to subscribe to a particular level of
    online software package usage monthly, but, if I do not use all of the
    programs included in that online software usage package, I am credited back
    for not having used the softwares, that I did not use, that were inclusive
    in that online software package offer.
    Regards,
    Ron

  • Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

    Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so.  Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards.  I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me.  that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer.  I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

    In the stupidly hidden user's Library->/Application Support/AddressBook/ labeled as AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    For TM restores, see Pondini's TM FAQs for starters, since I don't use TM.

  • I have a downloaded font file for a school problem on a flash drive and I do not know how to install it into my photoshop application. Need to be walked through this as I am an older user who does not understand any of this stuff.

    I have a downloaded font file for a school problem on a flash drive and I do not know how to install it into my photoshop application. Need to be walked through this as I am an older user who does not understand any of this stuff.

    Fonts are handled by your operating system and installed through the respective System Control panel (Windows) or Fontbook (Mac). On Windows simply type "Fonts" in the search bar in the start menu and when you open the panel/ folder use File --> Add Font. On Mac the procedures are similar, you just need to find the Fontbook app in Applications:Utilities.
