Hi:

 

The only place I know of where you might be able to find a BIOS file for your notebook would be from this reputable 3rd party driver website.

 

DriversCollection.com

 

The serial number you posted did not register any information, so you will have to know the exact model number or product number of your notebook.

 

Also, BIOS updates can only be run in Windows, so unless you have the special software and whatnot to convert the file to be used in a BIOS reflashing tool, it will probably be of no use to you.

This is the database where every HP PC can be identified by product number or serial number.

 

I've checked it twice now...you check it and see for yourself.

Don't you know the full model number or product number of your notebook?

 

There are several ways to find that information out.
