Hi there guys, need your help!

Have a problem with the BIOS on my HP Pavilion 15-p203ur laptop. When I press the power button I get a black screen and the wireless button is orange. and this is the whole response.

I tried to find the recovery files of Bios on the official website, but I got the answer that my laptop model is not supported anymore.

Where can I get the old version of BIOS driver?

@andrew10000, 

 

HP no longer provides support for 15-p2xx models as they reached the end of the support life.

 

Try a BIOS file F.46 for your model to recover the BIOS.

Create a BIOS recovery usb drive and use the key press combination (press Win+B keys then power button) to boot the system to recover the BIOS from the usb drive.

 

Click the link below and go to '3. Manually Recover the BIOS' then to 'Recover the BIOS Using a USB Recovery Drive' for step-by-step instructions.
