Hello.

How to activate the advanced tab in my Compaq Presario CQ61-330S

The bios is InsydeH20 V23

I saw a tutorial but it didn't work

Hi:

What you want to do is impossible.

HP consumer class BIOS' are locked down.

What you see is what you get.

What is it that you want to do in the BIOS that it is not letting you do?

I see you got BIOS version F.23 installed.

How did you do it?

 Do you remember the link you sent me yesterday? With that I have updated it 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, I know but you wrote that you couldn't get it to work because of the "sp51527 is not a valid Win32 application" error.

[Mike2441]

Yeah.

But i upgraded to windows 11 and it worked

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Good.

That was a pretty risky move, but good.

Now...why do you want to unlock the non-existent advanced BIOS settings in your notebook?

[Mike2441]

Because i wannna  to see more advanced options

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Unfortunately, that is not going to be possible.

[Mike2441]

why?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

We were told by HP that they lock the BIOS to prevent users from trying to overclock components which may fry the motherboard and then they submit warranty claims that the PC failed on them.

Some Russian guy on the forum found a way with some program to show other settings in the BIOS but he could not change them, so what's the point?

Anyway, that's all I know about the matter.

Just look at the hundreds of posts like yours that never get solved.
