    Hey Everyone,

    I just had a failed BIOS update on my new dv8t laptop and the standard BIOS Recovery Mode activation occurs by using the "Windows" + "B" keys at startup. Come to find out, I've seen a few comments from users stating the Pavilion Entertainment series (dvXXXX) of laptops may not have Bios Recovery capabilities? Is this true?

    Anyone know the correct sequence on keys to enter the BIOS recovery mode on the Pavilion dv8t?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks
