Hello

 

I have Bios version 1.03. I can't update it under Linux through Wine software. Neither can I download new file via old BIOS (Connection always hangs up midway).

 

However, when I ran BIOS update file via Wine it saved file called ~/.wine/drive_c/SWSetup/SP113780/N78_0152.bin and it's accompanied by .inf file N78_0152.inf reading:

[Version]
Signature = "$WINDOWS NT$"
Provider = %Provider%
Class = Firmware
ClassGuid = {f2e7dd72-6468-4e36-b6f1-6488f42c1b52}
DriverVer = 04/27/2021,01.52.0.0
CatalogFile = N78_0152.cat
PnpLockdown = 1

[Manufacturer]
%MfgName% = Firmware,NTx86,NTamd64,NTarm

[Firmware.NTx86]
%DeviceDesc% = Firmware_Install,UEFI\RES_{545D4438-A1BF-424D-9C9B-3EB19A609F6F}

[Firmware.NTamd64]
%DeviceDesc% = Firmware_Install,UEFI\RES_{545D4438-A1BF-424D-9C9B-3EB19A609F6F}

[Firmware.NTarm]
%DeviceDesc% = Firmware_Install,UEFI\RES_{545D4438-A1BF-424D-9C9B-3EB19A609F6F}

[Firmware_Install.NT]
CopyFiles = Firmware_CopyFiles

[Firmware_CopyFiles]
N78_0152.bin

[Firmware_Install.NT.Hw]
AddReg = Firmware_AddReg

[Firmware_AddReg]
HKR,,FirmwareId,,{545D4438-A1BF-424D-9C9B-3EB19A609F6F}
HKR,,FirmwareVersion,%REG_DWORD%,0x00010034
HKR,,FirmwareFilename,,{545D4438-A1BF-424D-9C9B-3EB19A609F6F}\N78_0152.bin

[SourceDisksNames]
1 = %DiskName%

[SourceDisksFiles]
N78_0152.bin = 1

[DestinationDirs]
DefaultDestDir = %DIRID_WINDOWS%,Firmware\{545D4438-A1BF-424D-9C9B-3EB19A609F6F}

[Strings]
;localizable
Provider = "HP Inc."
MfgName = "HP Inc."
DeviceDesc = "HP N78 System Firmware 01.52"
DiskName = "Firmware Update"

;non-localizable
DIRID_WINDOWS = 10
REG_DWORD = 0x00010001

 

 

Is this the right BIOS update file that I can choose from BIOS or I will brick my laptop?
