BIOS dump for the HP HSTNN-Q72C laptop, board number DAR18DMB6D0, built by Quanta and sized for a 4 MB flash chip. The archive also includes EC/KBC firmware, so the embedded controller image is provided alongside the BIOS.

Confirm that the board number and revision match your laptop before flashing, and back up the original chip contents first.

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 HSTNN-Q72C DAR18DMB6D0. 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.
