Need help changing my bios flash screen!!!
Please help me change my flash boot screen!!
I read many tutorials but I still cannot get changing my flash boot screen!
I have downloaded sp26763.exe from HP website and it flashes and works great!
I have Compaq Presario SR1611NX and I am POSITIVE I got the right bios from hp because I already updated it!!!
However when I follow tutorial to change flash screen to a custom image and I do step by step making sure everything perfect. But it doesn't work!!
But when I go to use the program to flash it says "command line parameter error"
or something close to that. I did a google search and someone on forum recommend
to install halfway then 'swap/switch' the 313.rom file midway between the installation
to 'trick' the HP flash installer into installing the 313.rom that has been updated
with a new .bmp image. (yes I converted from tiff to Award BMP not xp BMP, etc)
I tried that too, it got me past on more level, and for a second it even says its already
'flashing in progress', but then it kicks right back out and says something about a
checksum error. I have used many other flashing utilities, even boot in pure dos mode
etc, but to no avail! I really want to flash/change the boot screen and get rid of the
default "COMPAQ" screen on my SR1611NX Compaq Presario.
Can you please help me? What am I doing wrong? How can I bypass the checksum error?
IS there a way to FORCE a flash no matter what? Why won't it let me replace the picture?
I did everything just right, just like in tutorials, then why doesn't it let me flash the
rom/bios?
Thank you for your time sirs!
