BIOS Updates forum

Okay, my problem is that My BIOS won't update.

HP have provided us with a winflash utility.

Located on HP's website.

(cannot post the URL because the forum wouldn't allow me to post it)

I used that utility and now the BIOS is stuck on a particular version -but- is also corrupt. Now my BIOS will not update for love nor money.

I wanted to update via a bootable disc so I extracted the winflash utility and found that the file needed is just "30CCF59.WPH" and that is the actual new BIOS right there.

I cannot get this to boot or update or anything... please someone tell me where I am going wrong.

So an overview;

Updated via official HP way
HP way sucked and killed my BIOS
Tried to update via CD (no floppy)
used nero
burned with the settings:
Data Mode:1
ISO 9660 only
8.3 filename length
ISO 9660 charset

burned at 1x to ensure integrety

NOTHING... all dead.

Nothing at all?

You have used this one?

If it now is not updating anywhere I would contact HP for a solution, be it they send you a fix or have the laptop repaired.
