BIOS can't be update

[Syazlan]

Hi All,

I have Pavilion 550-168d desktop and wanted to update the BIOS. The current BIOS is AMI A0.11 dated 24/9/2015. I have already tried the following

1. Update via HP Support Assistant - it says no new update

2. Update by downloading newer BIOS update (Motherboard 2B47) (SP85633)

When I ran setup, it does come up with Menu to upgrade and I can proceed until it restart (to complete the process) but after that when I checked it is still the same version

When I run flash command, it just exit with message 'could not find ssid.txt'

Any idea how should I proceed?

Thanks

It does not work

You can try the following version!

The update of the bios, can go very badly, and make the computer unusable.
At your own risk
and perils!
