Thanks for the info.

 

Your notebook model is a Compaq Presario CQ42-203LA.

 

The last BIOS update HP released for your notebook was F.37.

Hi:

 

What is the full model number or product number of your cq42?

 

HP retired support for your notebook since it is more than 10 years old, so I will have to search to find out what the last BIOS update was for your notebook.
