Windows update issue. BIOS

[Sikon]

My son computer was hella laggy. I told him it’s probably updating. He checked and it was. Then he clicked the optional updates, one of them being a bios update.  
 

The computer restarted and failed to send a signal to the monitor or power to keyboard or mouse. Im assuming the bios is corrupted. 
 

2022 HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop pc  Model: TG01-1183w

HP does not support this model or just doesn’t provide software for it. I’ve fallowed the hp guide for recovery. Up to the point of needing the software to recover it. Which isn’t provided by HP. 

From what I’ve  seen online it has a Baker motherboard with ssdi: 8767. 

Is there anyway to locate the bios for this thing?? 

 

 

[wildthing]

The HP Baker motherboard (SSID: 8767) features a customized proprietary form factor equipped with an Intel H470 chipset and an LGA1200 socket, typically found in HP Pavilion Gaming (TG01) and Pavilion Desktop (TP01) prebuilt PCs. [1, 2, 3, 4]

If you are looking to upgrade or add a solid-state drive (SSD) to this specific board, here are the key storage expansion details and options:

Supported SSD Formats

• M.2 NVMe SSD (Recommended): The board features exactly one M.2 Socket 3 (Key M) slot which supports both 2242 and 2280 size form factors. [1]
• Interface Generation: This M.2 slot operates at PCIe Gen 3 speeds. You can safely buy and install a newer PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD (like a WD Black SN770 or Samsung 970/980 series), but the motherboard will cap its throughput at Gen 3 speeds. [1]
• SATA SSDs: You can also expand your storage using traditional 2.5-inch SATA SSDs connected via the onboard standard SATA data ports and powered by the HP proprietary power supply cables. [1]

Crucial Installation Tips

• Partition Style: Ensure you install Windows in UEFI mode so the system automatically formats your drive with a GPT partition table. This is critical if you are upgrading to a high-capacity drive (such as 4 TB) so the full volume is recognized. [1, 2]
• Drive Physical Profile: Stick to a single-notch M.2 NVMe drive. Avoid M.2 drives with large, chunky aftermarket heatsinks as space inside the compact HP Pavilion chassis is highly restricted. [1, 2]

I think chatgpt found a direct link: TITLE: HP Consumer Desktop PC BIOS (ROM Family 8767)

OPERATING SYSTEM(S):
Microsoft Windows 10 All Editions (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows 11

This isn't the direct file for the bios, just the release notes, but it looks like the model is there. Chatgpt gives the link for the download of the bios as well from the hp ftp site, which I assume is legit and legal.

I found a few releases for the TP01 models. No of them was for TP01-1183w. 
 

Can I use one for a different model? 
 

From what I found that if I purchased a new bios chip. According to google ai anyways. It says the chip would normally come with bios firmware F47 Rev A. I found that file on HPs website. But it was for a different model still. 
 

However I also seen other versions  of the file too. I’m just not that familiar with bios to pull the trigger and try and upload random versions. From what I’m seeing this is a common issue with HP.

In the above release notes it states "HP Pavilion Gaming TG01-0xxx_TG01-1xxx_TG01-2xxx Desktop", this would seem to include your model, no?

I take it you went through these steps: 

"

Recovering the BIOS using key press combination

When you upgrade the BIOS on your PC, a copy of the previous BIOS version is stored in the HP_TOOLS partition of your hard drive. Many HP computers have an emergency BIOS recovery feature that allows you to recover and install the last known good version of the BIOS from the hard drive, as long as the hard drive remains functional. This emergency recovery feature is separate from the BIOS and is designed to work in the event of a catastrophic BIOS failure.

To recover an earlier version of the BIOS on your PC:

Turn off the computer.

With the computer off, press and hold the Windows logo key  and the B key at the same time.

Still pressing those keys, press and hold down the Power button on the computer for 2 to 3 seconds, and then release the Power button but continue to hold the Windows and B keys until the BIOS update screen is displayed or until you hear a beeping sound (usually 8 beeps).

The power LED light remains on, and the screen remains blank for about 40 seconds before anything appears on the display. You might also hear beeping sounds. Eventually, an HP BIOS Update screen displays and the BIOS update begins automatically."

Yes, I went through all of the different steps HP recommended for recovery. This one won’t work because aside from no video signal, there is no power to the keyboard. So, pressing anything on the keyboard for recovery won’t work. A flash drive I think is my only option. 
 

Im at work right now, when i get home i will give the one from your first post a try. 
 

And I don’t suppose there’s away to recover the original bios if i connected the hd to another computer? Then crated a flash drive boot from that?

Chatgpt reckons there's no way to get the original bios from the hd, as it's on a chip. 

It also says:

Use a basic wired USB keyboard (not wireless or Bluetooth).

Plug it into a rear USB 2.0 port directly on the motherboard.

Try Windows + B first, then Windows + V if that doesn't work.

Hold the keys for 30–40 seconds after releasing the Power button.

Just pointing that out in case it could be useful. It also asks: "Does the computer's power button light stay on, and do the CPU/case fans spin normally when it's turned on? That will help determine whether the motherboard is at least starting POST or is failing much earlier". It also asks if there are any beeps.

The keyboard is usb, plugged into the rear. Not sure if it’s a 2.0 usb port or not though. I assume so?

The computer itself turns on, the case lights up, fans turn on, the graphics card lights up. No beeping sounds. 
 

Just no signal to monitor, no power to keyboard or mouse. 
 

A little frustrating since this came from an update. Then you look on Microsoft website and they say they get their updates from the manufacturer, look on the manufacturer website and they say we don’t currently support that 3 year old pc. Or no software or updates found for this pc is what it actually said, but.. man. I’ve never seen this happen, then have issues finding the files to fix it. lol 

[J3st3r]

Bricked Bios. Only a couple ways to fix that on a board that does not have the Bios Flashback option or Dual Bios. Either buy a Chip Programmer, or buy a pre programed bios chip and solder it onto the board or send it in to a Tech and have them do a Bios recovery and re-flash with a Chip Programmer. 

I've seen that you can buy USB to Pogo pin type Chip programmers pretty cheap on Ebay these days.  

 

Might be better off buying another motherboard for it. Looks like they sell for around $100 new on ebay occasionally. 

 

Just looked it up and they do have a standard 8 pin Eeprom style Bios chip soldered onto the board. You can buy a cheap programmer for around $20 but I would definitely do some research on how to use one 1st and find out what program you need in conjunction with the tool to do it. Loooks like the Intel boards are alot harder to find for those than the AMD AM4 motherboards so good luck finding one. lol

As J3st3r  suggested, I have used these USB BIOS programmers for years. It is tricky, but works as a charm.
The only problem you can get into is that can get confused which direction you put on the clam-on BIOS chip.

If you are handy, there are people on Ebay that sell a BIOS chips. You tell them your problem, they search and update the BIOS for you. You just have to "solder" the BIOS chip back on it yourself. NOTE! Be sure you compare the zero-pin to the new one. Or else you fry it again. Trust me, you can burn your finger and have a nice red(burned) square on it.  

Good luck!

/EDIT: If you are going to buy this tool, demand you get the right software for it. I can only make it work on a Windows 7 machine that I have. Mostly because of the (black port) USB2.0 support on them.
