HP Mini Guide

willpower · 01-31-2010, 09:42 AM

I just got my motherboard replaced (due to the infamous heat-issue) and when I got my computer back the BIOS was upgraded to F.07.
I cannot see it on HP:s support/download site, so I have no idea if it is has not been officially released yet. This also means I have been unable to find any information on new features or bugfixes.
Post here if you find a download link or information about F.07.

Hmmm, very interesting...

i have seen a thread where someone played with 4GB Ram and someone else mentioned that a bios upgrade would do the trick (which it doesn't due to 32Bit memory controller) but that bios was a F07 and as you can read here:
Business support forums - HP Mini 1101 F.07 Bios?

HP Flashes different Bioses for to the same hardware as the Bios seems to be OS specific, something that sounds bogus to me as the want people to buy new laptops inestad of flashing bios (might go wrong maybe?)

it should show up here if its availible:
HP 2133 Mini-Note PC- Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center

until then it might be nice if everyone who is interrested writes to HP and ask them for an Updated Download like i did,

if we are enought people we might get it ^^

Recieved a repaired 2133 (FU349EA) from HP today. Mainboard was replaced and apparently HP put BIOS version F.07 on it. I have made a backup of this BIOS using AFUDOS /O2133F07.BIN and have put it on our website.

1) Download sp41847.exe of HP website and create bootable USB stick.
2) Download 2133F07.ZIP of our website http://www.vb.net/2133F07.zip
3) Unzip file and copy 2133F07.BIN and config.sys to USB stick
4) Update BIOS

Cheers

I tried this and get an "Invalid System Disk" upon bootup. Any ideas?

DJInformatyk · 03-01-2010, 10:03 AM

I tried this bios and work ok.

Unfortunately, I can't see anything when clicking on the link.

Can anybody tell me how to get and install the F.07 BIOS and what advantages it brings to the 2133? Any chance that it could be designed for Windows 7?

i would be careful any chance to ask hp for a changelog or why the put a new bios on that MB?
It might be possible that the Bios is for another revision/version of the mainboard thus i would be carefull

FWIW, I finally got around to trying 4GB memory with f.07, and just as before with the 4gb memory in, 2133 does not get past POST.
