Hello, i was wondering if there is a way to get BIOS drivers for a discontinued laptop? HP website says that none are available, and i am unable to find them anywhere else. Stuck in an infinite loop after post and also am unable to boot into anything, besides accessing BIOS and diagnostics, rollback of BIOS crashes too

Hi:

 

HP has retired support for your notebook since it is more than 10 years old.

 

Your notebook has the latest BIOS update HP released.

 

If you need to make a BIOS recovery drive, with the F.45 file here are the info and exe file links.

 

Info link:

Exe link:

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp80001-80500/sp80252.exe 

 

If you want the previous F.43 version, below are the links:

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp79501-80000/sp79790.exe 

 

Watch these videos for how to create and use a BIOS recovery flash drive with the above exe file using another Windows PC:
