Hello
Last week i updated the bios from version 2 to 2.99 then to version 3.07 because i had an issue with the ssd
I shutdown the pc. Later on that day when i tried to turn it on
It didn't turn on
I removed the battery and cleared the CMOS then it runs
But it doesn't post
I removed everything but cpu and psu
I heard beeps. i putted back one ram the beeps stopped but it doesn't post
The light doesn't change just green
And the pc goes high fans speed then it turns off and on
I think that update corrupted the bios ( i got them from the official hp drivers page :bios for the hp 8300sff )
I want to know if there is a solution or where the bios chip is located

If You locate bios chip then you can manually flash it with programmer and clips which cost 3$ on Chinese sites. I like to know too where is this chip located on mainboard. I personally fashed 8 pin bios chip on other mainboard manufacturer with success.
