HP Pro 3300 & 3400 (H61): Upgrade to Ivy Bridge

[miant]

Sorry, guys. I can only confirm the long-term stable operation of bb3f1p13nvme.bin BIOS on three different motherboards H-Cupertino2_H61_uATX 1.02 HP p/n 657002-001. The TL866A programmer was used to flash 25Q32 BIOS chip.

I cannot get a post from my system now, so i am wondering about the quality of the bios chips i purchased on aliexpress. They look to be the real deal and are unused. They are MX25L3206E. Purchased from Qiamaer store some time ago.

After about 24hrs with coin battery out, my HP Pro 3300 now decides to boot??

It seems that my system will boot after the bios is reset to default values. This works best by power off and coin batt out. But the no boot problem always returns, so I am going back to HPs bios, unless anyone here has a better idea?

Hi

Try this one. I use it on my mainboard for a days and all good.

Thanks I will give this a try today.

Flashed and soldered a chip with biostarh61org to my 3300 board. When powered on, the cpu fan goes to max speed then settles to a lower speed, no beep and no post. I have tried with and without a video card and can't seem to progress beyond this point.

Try to remove battery and wait a lil bit. After i flash bios that y say that is not working i also get problem to flash a new bios. After i remove battery and leave pc for a while everything goes good.  

This is only bios that turns my pc instantly everytime when i power on. Not problem at all.

tbh i was sure that this bios will work for y also 

P.S. Leave that bios (one that i send you) just remove battery to reset bios to default. Should work.

I left battery out overnight, but still no beep, no post problem. If I remove the ram i get continuous beeping, so the bios is not completely dead. It just does not post.

Hi, can you post here your stock BIOS dump. I can help you port a few BIOSes to try.

Most likely, this isn't a BIOS/CMOS issue, but a motherboard malfunction.

It seems I did not make a dump of the original bios, but I am sure it was the latest HP version.

Do I need to write protect the chip after flashing?
