    Request Pavilion DM1z-4100 BIOS

    I humbly request the most recent bios update for the Pavilion DM1 (actual model # Request DM1z-4100)

    For whatever my score/ranking in Google searches and forum lurking, I'm apparently not good enough to even find the bios on any HP legacy server.

    Boy, if there were ever a time for a group to start data hoarding bios/firmware files like SnappyDiskDrivers does (like for most everything - PCs, Stereos, Cars/Trucks - Hell, refrigerator even... a guy can dream anyway)

    Thank you folks well in advance for any help you can find.

    PS - does anyone know who to contact for stereo/home audio firmware? I've got a Marantz sr7005 that's putting the loving to me like a silver-backed gorilla.

    For audio firmware you can post in the "Troubleshooting Audio Equipment" forum https://www.badcaps.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=34

    If you have an SPI bios programmer post your DM1z-4100 bios backup here, or are you able to update through windows,is the laptop working

      Sorry for the late reply...

      I can do the update through HP's Windows installer or with an EZP2019 programmer. It's just that this model number doesn't want to coincide with anything on their support page.

      Luckily nothing is locked out or passworded. I'm just trying to get the "last gasp" out of this laptop before I have to force my client into upgrading to something made in the last 3-4 years.

      Thanks again with helping me

          FWIW folks... Here is the BIOS I found for the laptop mentioned above.

          It's dated 26Feb2013 & I'm not really finding anything newer. Maybe somebody will find it useful

            HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2523nd - Dimm2 slot disabled after corrupt bios repair? Advice requested.
            by Bloodhoundje
            Hi everyone,

            I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

            I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

            After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

            I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...

            [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
            by zenius
            Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

            Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

            Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
            by Wahaz
            Hello,

            I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
            So I thought it was a Bios problem.
            I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

            M715q Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 10M3 - Request bios chip location and useable bios for use with CH341A Programmer.
            by hotcrossedbuns999
            My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
            1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
            2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
            3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this
