I've came across this forum while searching for information on bios modification for my NX7300 (GM945Express). I was abot to try my new moded bios when I have noticed that the well known Phoenix Crisis Disk recovery method doesn't work on my laptop. Win+B trick turns the recovery mode on but... there are no WPH bioses for NXseries (and some other new HP Notebooks). There was even a thread on official HP forums about a faulty bios for nx7300 (F.0D) which has killed a lot of laptops wihout ANY reaction from HP and without any chance for bios recovery with Phoenix Crisis Disk). The only thing HP would offer to some of those poor users was a motherboar replacement. Now the official thread is gone (at least I can't access it) and its only available thorugh google cache http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:Kd ... ient=opera
So before doing some stupid things I have decided to create a WPH bios by myself.
The F.0D Bios is gone from HP page - so I have downloaded it and after extracting i tried to open ROM.BIN with PBE -
Code: Select all
NO BCPs found!
Code: Select all
Invalid ROM length!
I have also tried a WPH file from DV6000t -
Code: Select all
Invalid ROM length!
dv2000t WPH - 1 083 102 bytes -- dumped bios from nx7300 - 1 083 075 bytes
dv6000t WPH - 1 102 246 bytes -- dumped bios from nx7300 - 1 102 246 bytes
So what's with the Invalid ROM length? Does anyone have an idea If I can fix this error? When I have compared the dumped nx7300 bios with the one from dv2000 or dv6000 with winhex I have seen that the structure of the files is completly different)Is dumping wph bios fron nx series possible at all?
