I have been updating BIOS firmware for a little while now. So far it only has been on Dell Desktops using USB media, but I was looking into updating the firmware on my HP laptop (Ubuntu Installation)

Product: HP 2000 Notebook PC. Serial Number: 5CG32730CZ.

I tried finding the BIOS firmware update file using the official HP website. However, when I enter the serial number for my laptop, the HP website comes back with "can not find any drivers for this product", so how am I supposed to update my BIOS? (BIOS F.47).

The trick is to manually select an operating system (Windows ) and just claim Windows 7 64 bit. Then the downloads all show up, look under BIOS tab for the F48 download. Here's the link for the BIOS for your machine

  • There is a BIOS tool listed, try that. It's up to the vendor what they supply, DOS executable, or worse case, a Windows executable. Freedos works if it's a DOS executable. Better ask a different question, others may have a solution.
