How to confirm BIOS ROM family and Version on HP 550 notebook

‎06-04-2010 02:24 AM

HP Recommended

Hi

 

HP Support for my HP 550 says its ROM family is 68MVU and gives version F.00 May 23 2008.

 

It also says: "NOTE: To determine the ROM family and ROM date, press F10 on the target notebook during startup to run the Setup Utility, and then view File/System Information"

 

Yet when I get to File/System Information it only gives ROM Date 08/20/2008 and ROM BIOS Version F.02, and NOT the ROM Family.

 

I can find no reference to any F.02 for ROM Family 68MVU, but I can for other families, so either:

1) The ROM Family IS 68MVU and by updating I'll have to go back to F.00 for some reason OR

2) The ROM Family is NOT 68MVU and I might trash the BIOS by trying to upgrade

 

Can anyone help me confirm my ROM Family for this HP 550?

 

Many thanks
