This is great looking, and helpful. Must have taken a long time to make it look this pretty. Nice work

 

You should of seen his drivers thread in the NBR HP Drivers section.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-drivers-software-forum/

 

A little HTML goes a long way.

 

Recently released BIOS updates for a few AMD-based notebooks:

07/19/2011

• Added BIOS F.03 for dv4-4XXX ().
• Added BIOS F.24 for g4-1XXX / g6-10XX / g6-11XX / g7-1XXX ().
• Added BIOS F.25 for g6-1aXX / g6-1bXX ().

 

I suppose that means said notebooks are going to be available soon. The dv4 looks interesting. It doesn't have a very good discrete graphics choice, the 6470m is basically equal to the 6620g, though.

 

What am I missing? What does this new BIOS actually do for dv6qe users?

 

Check the HTML notes to see the issues that have been fixed in this version (the link is in the table on the same row as the appropriate series).

Remember, BIOS updates are cumulative - so fixes from previous releases also apply to the most current version.

 

07/26/2011

• Added BIOS F.44 for dv6-1XXX / dv7-2XXX ().

This particular BIOS update also updates the ATI Mobility Radeon VBIOS in these notebooks.

 

How do I enter bios on a dv7?

 

Esc when booting up then f10 when the menu comes up.

 

Or just slam F10 as it turns on.

 

07/28/2011

• Added BIOS F.23 for g4-1XXX / g6-10XX / g6-11XX / g7-1XXX ().

This BIOS release updates the AMD Radeon HD 6470M VBIOS.

 

some news guys. modded bios for dv6t and other (sp53216.exe F.14 InsydeH2O)

unlocked some options in bios, and removed whitelist.

tested by myself and working

PS. It's still in testing condition.
Please remember to come back and leave feedback..


Just unpack .rar and start InsydeFlash.exe

I know this is not right place where it needed to be, please move the post if needed.

http://www.mediafire.com/?bla3oiv3cx43ayr

 

Jeez. That was quick.

It wasn't even a week ago that the whitelist could only be beat with the hiberation and PCI ID trick.

 

Actually, they had a year to crack it. My series was one of the first ones that got it.

 

08/01/2011

• Added BIOS F.1A for dv6-6XXX / dv7-6XXX ().
• Added BIOS F.20 for dv6-6XXX / dv7-6XXX ().
• Added BIOS F.13 for dm1-3XXX ().

 

Anyone have an exact rundown on flashing the bios?

 

Download
Double click to run
Follow the on screen instruction

You may think I'm messing with you, but really I'm not.

 

Step 0: Make sure you download the right one!

 

OK, so I just flashed the bios to f-1a, now where do you switch.

 

So the AMD one also lets so choose my graphics card in my dv6z?

 

Please work your magic on the newest BIOS (with the fixed GPU)!

 

What kind of options are we talking bout here?

 

Bios option to set graphics from dynamic to fixed.

 

When you power your computer on, press ESC and follow the instructions to bring up the BIOS (F10 I believe). Then, inside navigate and find the switchable graphics option and set it to Fixed.

 

please pm me the link to the fixed bios

 

First-hand review on the new dv6 BIOS update to allow manual graphics mode switching....

I returned my HP, and am not sorry about that, the ASUS G73SW is just awesome. But you guys might find it interesting, I posted it on my blog:

The switchable graphics fiasco – update about the HP/AMD failure. - The Little Advisor

 

After installing the BIOS update I switched to fixed mode in the BIOS and in CCC to the 6670M. I then reran "WEI" (Windows Experience Index) and it took major hits in both graphics scores.

 

Don't want to mess up here, but if I run one of these bios, will it give me the option to flash with a usb drive or will it immediately flash in windows?

 

The flashing happens in Windows, when using these Softpaqs / BIOS update utilities.

 

Thanks for the quick reply +rep to you sir.

 

08/06/2011

• Added BIOS F.16 for dv4-3XXX ().

 

Im curious to know that since F.1A is out i wonder if new graphics drivers are in the works

 

Why say the same thing more than once?

 

For emphasis.

 

08/09/2011

• Added BIOS F.24 for g4-1XXX / g6-10XX / g6-11XX / g7-1XXX ().

 

What is a the "White list"?

 

opposite of a black list?!? ... actually a white list specifies which hardware is allowed/supported.

(are you sure you aren't really more interested in 15% stackable coupons?... this isn't directed at YOU personally ... unless that is your objective )

 

The F1A Update made the use of the Switching better in terms of user control

 

They can keep the F1A BIOS. All that changes is the hability to switch Dynamic Graphics to Fixed. Bull...

I took HP owns Quality and Suport Advice: Sent the Pavilion back and go my money back.

Now I have a Asus K53: No bluetooth and a low res chat camera.

Bluetooth solved for 10€.

Camera... who cares?

 

Enjoy that GT 540M... Here have a straw to go with it, because it sucks.

 

I haven't gone back to Dynamic since the BIOS update . It's great!

 

I personally wanted control over my laptop and I have got it alongwith that update so on my side Im happy with my laptop

and you are happy with yours...

A comparison between the two laptops is unnecessary.

I personally think the 540 is not as good as the 6770...

 

08/18/2011

• Added BIOS F.21 for g6-1aXX / g6-1bXX ().

 

Just a head up there is a new BIOS F.0F out for the DV6-4xxx
link:
HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) HP Pavilion dv6t-4000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

 

Thanks saidler, it's now on the first post.

08/19/2011

• Added BIOS F.0F for dv6-4XXX / dv7-429X / dv7-5XXX ().

 

Is there one for the dv6-6135dx?

 

Yes, see the first post -- it's dv6-6XXX / dv7-6XXX . Version F.20, sp54025.

 

When I tried to d/l file got msg: 550 /pub/softpaq/sp54001-54500/sp54077.exe: Permission denied.

Any ideas?
