Description

BIOS dump for the HP 630 laptop, supplied as a ZIP archive of about 2.0 MB under the original file name HP 630=4=CHICAGO_CP_HPC_MV_MB_V2 (Corei3_UMA).zip. The file name suggests a Core i3 and UMA configuration, but check that against your own board before use. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your machine, and read out and save the original chip contents before writing anything.

The catalog also lists 11 BIOS dumps for the HP 630.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: HP 630. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
