Hello HP people,
I have a quite old EliteBook G1 that is working juste fine.
I'd like to replace my battery and also upgrade the Bios. None seem possible at the moment :
When trying to update the Bios - using local media or network conection - it refuses and complains about the AC adapter not being connected, but it is.
When replacing the battery with a new one, both power button and cpas-lock key blink, can't start the laptop. Found it might be due to a too old BIOS !!
Is there a way ? May thanks in advance !!
