    Last Updated: April 6, 2012

    Here is an updated list of BIOS releases available for all relatively recent Compaq Presario, HP G-series, and Mini notebooks. All of the BIOS images linked from here are original and unmodified, hosted at HP's very own FTP server.

    Please refrain from posting BIOS issues in this thread, unless the issue stems from here due to inaccurate information. If you are encountering a specific problem that pertains to the BIOS, please create a separate thread for it in the appropriate forum section. You will likely have a much better chance at receiving a response in doing so. If you find a BIOS update or would like to make a suggestion or request for this thread, please post here.

    Important Information

    • The BIOS images posted in this thread must be flashed in a Windows environment.
    • [COLOR=&quot;Red&quot;]Only use the BIOS release that is applicable to your particular notebook model. Do NOT attempt to flash a BIOS image that is not supported or designated for your model. Doing so will render your system unusable![/COLOR]
    • Be sure to carefully read the guidelines displayed by the BIOS update utility to ensure a successful flash.

    • Added note about the Pavilion g Series.
    • Added BIOS F.19 for CQ43 / CQ57 ([​IMG]).

    The note was meant to help differentiate between the G-series and Pavilion g series. Further clarifying, the Pavilion g series has also replaced the G-series.

    Try connecting the notebook to an external monitor and see if something comes up. If something does, change the display settings to re-enable the laptop screen. You can also perform the BIOS update if a newer version fixes a problem regarding the display.

    Thanks, I will look into it. :) There are some additional updates that I need to put up as well.

    Note that F.27 was not posted because F.34 immediately superseded it.
