HP EliteBook 8560p BIOS update F.63

[PLC_Tech_2000]

 HP EliteBook 8560p problem with Bios updating to F.63 RevA. After downloading and installing I have failed message:

The system BIOS update file (C:\SWSetup\SP76205\ROM.CAB) is missing or corrupt. The system BIOS will  not be updated.

How to fix this issue?

First: download and try to install Bios update F.63, it will fail - do not worry.:smileymad:

Second: check what type of the ROM family and ROM date do you have, press F10 on the notebook during startup to run the Setup Utility, and then view File/System Information.  You should see: 68SCF or 68SCE, check twice and write this down on paper.

Third: boot laptop back to Windows

- go to C:\SWSetup\SP76206  and rename 68SCF or 68SCE to ROM      (only one file, if you are not sure go to step: Second)

- go to C:\SWSetup\SP76206\hpqflash  and rename 68SCF or 68SCE to ROM      (only one file, if you are not sure go to step: Second)

Finally:

go to C:\SWSetup\SP76206  and right click on HPQFlash and run as Administrator

or

go to C:\SWSetup\SP76206\hpqflash  and right click on HPQFlash and run as Administrator

Sit and watch, do not touch your laptop to the moment you see Windows login.
