    HP 240 G8 Corrupt Bios

    Hi guys

    I have a HP 240 G8 laptop which start up , says Bios need recovery, after that goes to rewriting bios and finaly it says all is good, success.
    BUT.
    After restart a message saying that the bios needs recovery appears and all the above steps are run again and so on ina continuos loop...

    I searched the net but no bios dump for this board exists.

    Can anyone help me with a correct dump or someone can look at the dump?

    Here are the details:
    Board : HEDWIG01-6050A3158801-MB-A02
    Lapop model: HP 240 G8
    Bios chip: W25Q128JVPQ
    Board ID : 0868A

    Here is my original bios:

                          Hi...Thanks for the DMI info....

                          Unfortunately with this dump it takes 2-3 minute for the image to appear at start up , reset and even at "save and exit" from bios .....I think it's too long and is somehow unacceptable....

                          I will search the net or wait until a compatible dump for this mainboard appears...

                          If anyone know a good dump for this , please let me know.

                          Thanks again

                              Finally a working bios dump for this board.....It's a clean dump extracted from HP bios update executable and inserted the DMI and Win info...

                              Now the image appears in time and the boot is fast as it should be.

                              Thanks to all.

                                          by Ahari
                                          Hi all,

                                          This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.

                                          I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

                                          I...

                                          I need a BIOS dump for the Samsung S49CG934SU monitor
                                          by Habble7
                                          The Samsung S49CG934SU monitor does not power on - no LED indicator activity and no response to power button. However, when 21V power is connected, it immediately draws 0.8A of current with no display output. The motherboard processor gets warm, and there is continuous reading activity from the W25Q128BV BIOS chip.

                                          Suspected Cause:
                                          I suspect the BIOS may have been corrupted during a power interruption while updating the firmware. The official website provides firmware updates, but they can only be installed via USB flash drive.

                                          Troubleshooting Attempts:

                                          Hi all,

                                          My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
                                          The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
                                          When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
                                          (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

                                          Hi

                                          i have dell latitude E7270 with following symptoms:
                                          - takes long time to restart.
                                          - sometimes powers on and then off
                                          - sometimes while working it just dies,

                                          From googling online bios clean could possible resolve this?

                                          i was able to save bios and was going to try bios clean myself but get an below error when i drop it in ME analyzer.(unsure whether this sometimes occurs or could be due to bad/corrupt bios)

                                          As ME analyzer gave me an error i just decided to write bios with a cleaned bios from E7270 bios post.
                                          I reinstall...
