HP Envy 15t-j100 needs Latest BIOS

[teranz]

This information shows how the proper F.72 BIOS was identified for my System Board ID 1962 in a softpaq file.  There are several sp88686.exe softpaq files available with a F.72 BIOS.  The key here is identifying which one holds the proper BIOS payload that will work for a particular System Board and won't brick your system.  The HP BIOS update software should prevent loading an incorrect BIOS file as well.

My HP System Board is #1962...

That's on platform.ini located in C:\SWSetup\SP88646 (after running the sp88646.exe)
Your board uses 01966 BIOS

Hi @teranz,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Thank you for sharing the detailed information. I appreciate the effort you've put into identifying the BIOS package and the corresponding System Board ID.

From the model information provided, I wasn't able to locate the specific BIOS package or verify the BIOS version for your HP ENVY 15t-j100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook PC on the HP support portal. Because of this, I don't want to recommend a BIOS package that may not be intended for your exact system configuration.

To help verify the correct BIOS for your notebook, could you please send the notebook's serial number in a private message? With the serial number, I can check your PC's exact factory configuration and determine whether there is a BIOS version available specifically for your unit.

Additionally, could you let me know:

• Are you trying to update the BIOS, or are you attempting to recover the BIOS after an issue?
• Are you currently experiencing a specific problem that you're hoping a BIOS update will resolve?

Once I have the serial number and a little more information, I'll be happy to check the available options and guide you with the most appropriate next steps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
