HP 350 G1 Bad BIOS

[Kenan862]

Hello again. If you remember i started a conversation about my bluetooth issue. But not only. I started think about my current bios is corrupted. My current BIOS is "Insyde F.16". If i remember correct, my previous BIOS was F.12. I want to downgrade my BIOS. The reason that i want to downgrade my BIOS is, after that bios update laptop started to behave strange. For example in Windows 7 my Radeon HD8670M started to have some issues. After installing a driver, i got BSOD. I tried HP's official drivers and drivers from "Driveridentifier". Some people will say that the my GPU isn't supported, but HD8670M has official drivers for Windows 7 in amd's site. In Windows 8.1 GPU is working fine, but as you know my bluetooth started to have some issues. 

In Windows 7 bluetooth worked (it had icon in tray. That time period i didnt use BT. I dont needed BT). Also i dont agree that bluetooth isnt working in adapter itself. First of all driver installs successfully and there is no errors in device manager. If device had some problems, device manager could display some error codes and more. Second, because it is a combo adapter, if BT isnt worked, i could notice issues with the WIFI. But wifi works great and fast. I didnt encounter any problems. Also laptop turns on itself in the middle of night (when battery is connected). Yesterday battery started to malfunction. We didnt change the battery ever, since when we bought the laptop back in 2014. Before the fail the battery could keep its charge for about 1 hour. The only problem was this before malfunction: When laptop turned on  battery couldnt charge itself. When laptop is off it started to charge. The malfunction: When battery is connected the laptop itself, starts to malfunction. First boot with the battery has no problem, but when i click restart, laptop turns off itself. When i power on it wont boot. When HP's logo appears, the laptop turns off immediatly. When i disconnect, laptop is working fine. And sorry for my English.

Hi:

I don't see anything in the BIOS release notes that indicate you cannot go back to a previous BIOS version.

If you can't that is usually stated.

If you want to go back to vF.12, you can find it on the latest BIOS revision download page under the Revision HIstory section.

HP 350 G1 Notebook PC Software and Driver Details

I'm running vF.16 on mine but my notebook only has the onboard Intel graphics.

It was a budget priced model with the Intel i3-4005U processor and onboard Intel GPU.

I installed a 2.5" SSD and 16 GB of memory and the Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card.

With those upgrades, the notebook is decent.

I'm also running W11 24H2 on it and have been running W11 on it since W11 first came out in 2021.
