Product: VL328AV
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP

I have an older HP Mini311-1000.  I know it is long out of support.  It came with XP and still runs great but I Intend to repurpose for a specific use and need to update the BIOS.  In most places on the support site they don't even acknowledge the Serial Number even exists... but it shows clearly as one of my devices, with serial number and product name on my HP Support Assistant.   What is the latest/final BIOS update for this system?  Where can I get the latest/final BIOS Update file for this system?  

 

Thanks!

Hi:

 

From what I can find, the latest BIOS was F.16 with a release date of December 6, 2010.

 

Here are the links to the info and exe files for that BIOS release.

Thank you Paul!  

Exactly what I needed.  Update went fine and resolved a minor hardware issue with a Lubuntu load so I can repurpose this little notebook for configuring and monitoring a new solar controller.
