BIOS update does not match system board ID

$

0

I can't start my computer. Hardware diagnostics checked out OK so I'm trying to update my BIOS. I followed the guidance at https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00042629 but got stuck at step 7. According to step 3 number 2, the BIOS image name should match the system board ID. Unfortunately, there is no exact match available on the USB recovery drive. My system board ID is 81EB but the only ones on the recovery drive end in EC, ED, EF, F2, and F3. I'm pretty confident that the operating system on the laptop was Windows 10 (64-bit).

Elitebook 8460p and external monitor/projector does not work 2

Hi there,

 

A good starting point would be this topic:

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebooks-Archive-Read-Only/Elitebook-8460p-and-external-monitor-projector-does-not-work/td-p/1759847


I'm trying to connect a Hp EliteBook 8460 to a Philips TV, through a Display Port adapter and a Hdmi cable. It worked only 2 times as i installed sp64730.exe driver, but only right after i installed / before i restarted the computer (stoped after the laptop got restarted). It's like working only when i'm installing it, before i restarted it.
Second time i reinstalled the windows too, thinking it would solve the problem. But it worked only when i installed that driver, before i restarted the computer.
       On that topic it's saying that it could help another driver, but i cannot download it> https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebooks-Archive-Read-Only/Elitebook-8460p-and-external-monitor-projector-does-not-work/td-p/1759847
Can someone help me with it? Many thanks

HP Spectre laptop not charging

$

I purchased an HP Spectre 7/14/2017. In the first year, the touchpad stopped working. I got that fixed under warranty. I am a college student. This made me suffer in my classwork. I purchased this expensive laptop because I am an engineering student with my own money. Now the charging port doesn't work. Best Buy can't do anything about it and suggested I write in here to see if there is a recall or something. This has been reported on the forums and is a common problem. It made me suffer again in my schoolwork and I could not get it back to a tech within warranty time because I was at college and in navy rotc. I think HP should do something about my laptop. Please let me know the steps that I can take to get HP to fix this. An expensive laptop like this should last longer than this. Thank you. Allie

Unable to uninstall HP software after moving HD to a new PC

Just his the same problem as THIS GUY.

 

I'd been running my Windows Server 2016 Standard (with Essentials addon) on my old HP Pavilion DV6 notebook for a few years after the previous hardware failed.

 

Finally got my hands on a replacement Dell desktop, swapped the HD over and updated all the drivers to include the Dell hardware.

 

Now I'm stuck, trying to remove the old HP software/drivers.

 

Both HP 3D DriveGuard and HP Software Framework are unable to uninstall, as they both report "This Software is not supported on this system."

 

Is there a way to run the uninstaller, without it checking the hardware?

 

BTW I also upgraded to Windows Server 2019 (in-place), which I must admit, looking back, it's a misstake - 2016 + Essentials, is better...

Upgrade BIOS

Hi all. I have a question: from HP Assistant I received indication about BIOS upgrading to a new version, F28. Present one is F22. When I try to update it, the procedure is closed correctly, without any alarm message, but after the required restart the BIOS is always displayed in release F22. I tried several times, always with the same result. I also tried to update it with earlier version, as well as F23 for instance, with the same result: it remains in F22. My laptop is a "Notebook HP - 15-ac085nl (ENERGY STAR)", featured by Windows 10 (64-bit) version 1809 and build 17763.253, serial number CND524743G and product number N6A21EA#ABZ. Can anyone support me about the issue? Regards, Gilberto.

Windows Precision Drivers Not Working on HP Spectre Anymore?

$

So I left my laptop alone for 20 mins or so this evening to go ot the local shop and upon my return it had restarted or up dated or some something that seemed like an update.
My touchpad was competely disabled and I needed to plug in a mouse to use the cursor at all. It seems it had auto installed the Synaptics driver and kicked my Precision Driver off and I cannot get it back,

 

Does anyone else use the Precision Driver? Has it stopped working for anyone?

 

I can't fathom why when paying nigh on £2000 for a laptop with crappy Synaptics drivers and I don't even have the option to use Windows Precision?

Multimedia keys just magically switched to function keys

So I was using my laptop to watch some youtube, and when I went to play a game (and listen to spotify) the buttons weren't working to change the song. About an hour ago, I cleaned my keyboard (without turning my computer off like an idiot), and now this is happening. When I use the "fn" key instead of using the function key, it uses the multimedia key. I haven't touched the BIOS but I do know how to access it, so this wasn't done with BIOS. There is nobody else that could have changed my computer, and I dont do much with my computer that leaves it susceptible to viruses.

Lack of updated Intel system drivers for Windows 1809

$

Hi,

I'm writing this post to solicit HP to release update Intel system drivers for Winows 10 1809 release (received from Windows Update a couple of weeks ago). In particular I'm referrring to:

  • Intel Management Engine Interface driver (still at 11.7.0.1057 Rev B) optimizied for Windows 10 1803
  • Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework (still at 8.3.10205.4743 Rev C) optimized for Windows 10 1709

While not having any major issues, these two components can considerably boost perfomances and battery savings as well as thermal optimization activities under the latest Windows 10 release. I can imagine that some policies need more optimization for Windows 1809...and some drivers are a bit outdated. These two should be released by each OEM and are not directly downloadable from Intel web site.

 

I also expect HP to release fresh drivers for other components too (as GPU and Touchpad too). Hp Support Assistant is quite silent since a few months apart from the release of an uodated Conexant Audio driver for Win 1809 that hasn't been reported on the download site (that should be aligned soon with Assistant's releases): HP Download Site for Envy 15-as-105-nl

 

Thanks a lot
