    Dear forum,

    My HP bios got bricked.
    I tried the official procedures, but without results.
    So I am going to use AsProgrammer with my CH431A USB tool.
    I already used this tool.
    The only hel I need is to understand wich BIN file I have to use.

    The HP flash file (sp96831.exe) contains 3 BIN files and 3 key files.
    https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp96501-97000/ sp96831. exe
    080C1.bin 080C1.s12
    080C6.bin 080C6.s12
    080CD.bin 080CD.s12


    Wich one shoul I use? Shouls I decrypt the bios file before using it?
    Please help me
