Does Anyone Have Link To Download Older HP BIOS Version

  • 0

I need to downgrade the Bios on my HP Pavilion 6630 because It won’t do the POST Normal beep anymore when I boot it up. It wouldn’t beep anymore since I updated the BIOS. I tried resetting the CMOS and It didn’t solve the Problem. I looked on youtube for slimar models with the BIOS Update and They Still Beep. I want My HP Pavilion 6630 to beep again like it originally did. FYI: I’ve owned the PC since it was new.

  1. I don’t have them. The link was posted on a site 5 or 6 years ago and I only went as far as Yahoo’s sign in request.

    Since the file for the 3.07 upgrade was fresnocognac_307 I though maybe the others were similarly named; that is 3.06 might be fresnocognac_306, etc. but I got no hits when applying that method to all the other versions. So I don’t know what the bios files may be named or even if they’re available anywhere.

    If you try the 2.11 bios one of three things will happen; It’s the right version and will work OK, it’s the wrong version and won’t install or it’s the wrong version and will install and will wreck your motherboard.

    There’s a discussion here where someone upgraded from 2.11 to 3.07 and it worked OK:

    but as they say, ‘your results may vary’. Strongly consider just leaving things as they are.
