I have a HP DV7 lapotop (dv7-3079wm, Windows 7, 64).
I get an error code at startup, and the screen remains black. The error code is for a BIOS corruption failure.
I followed this guide. I made the "Bootable USBstick." I am a bit lost now. When I try and find the bios files to put on the thumb drive, all I get from HP is an installer .exe (sp47531.exe). I am not in my comfort zone here, so I would love if someone could help me find the correct motherboard Bios file to put on my USB drive. Also, the computer will not power on, so I cannot change the boot order... I believe I can hit the windows key and b at startup to have it boot from the thumb drive? Something like that? Thanks in advance for the help, I am a bit lost here.
