fatmac,
From what I have read, the BIOS needs updating.
If you have access to a Windows PC, you can always run a BIOS update file on that PC and then put the DOS files on a USB flash drive to update the BIOS using the F10 BIOS flashing setup method.
Which BIOS version do you have?
I will let you sort the pips out of the following:
https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Deskto...r/td-p/8499572
Extract:
When you run the v2.99 sp73099.exe file that TheOldMan posted, an info page should open.
You want to follow the instructions under the
F10 Setup BIOS flash method.
NB BIOS v02.99 must be installed
first:
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp730...00/sp73099.exe
BIOS v03.08 Rev.A must be installed
second:
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp955...00/sp95971.exe
Format a USB drive with the FAT32 file system.
At the bottom of the F10 Setup BIOS flash section on that info page, you will see a link to click on labelled
View Contents of DOS Flash Folder.
Open that folder and copy the
file contents of the folder to your USB flash drive.
Just the files, not the folder.
Restart the PC.
Tap the ESC key to get the menu of options.
Select the F10 Setup option.
Select the File tab > Flash System ROM command.
Select the USB flash drive.
The PC should 'see' the BIOS files on the flash drive.
Follow the onscreen instructions to update the BIOS.
Then do the same thing when you run sp95971.
Format the USB flash drive again to remove the older BIOS files before running the newer BIOS update.
