Hi:
You can get the last BIOS update HP released for your notebook from this reputable 3rd party website.
Download HP Compaq Presario CQ50-210US drivers for Windows 7/Vista, BIOS (helpjet.net)
First file listed.
You can only update the BIOS if you are running a supported operating system on your notebook (Vista or Windows 7).
Be alert for scammers posting fake support phone numbers and/or email addresses on the community.
