Searching for a unlocked BIOS for my HP Pavilion

[Maxinator500]

The only extrange thing I've noticed is the shape of the logo itself. It is shown with an elliptical shape instead of a circular one.

Hm... It's REALLY strange. This issue does not depends on your screen resolution, and the image wasn't even changed from your when I extracted MOD to check. Why I have chosen 1590x1890 that's because the original logo size is 106x126. It's easier to draw if your canvas is at least 30 times larger. Could you take a photo?

Hi, and sorry for answering that late, they didn't sent me a notification about your latest reply!
I've taken two photos of the elliptical logo from different angles so you can see it clearly, here you have it.
Also, I'd like to know how to disable my AMD graphic card throught the BIOS. I've heard you need to enable some hidden options, but I don't know the key combination to do it.
Do you know something about this?
Thank you for all your help!

I see. That's why the pictures are 106x126. HP stretches them from 106x106 because old BIOS makes them 20 pix less in height. In new BIOS theres no any text block under the logo. I'll fix this and unlock menus ASAP.

When I was watching at the original stretched bios logo in H2OEZE for the first time, I have thought It's a bug of utility. My mistake.

To try disabling your AMD graphic card (if additional menus have opened):
Advanced - Video Configuration - Primary Display=IGFX;
Advanced - Pci Express Graphic - Always Enable PEG=Disabled.

Hi!
Thank you so much for your effort!
The new advanced menu is now visible but I can't pass more than the 'Principal' tab.
The new logo It's almost circular, but not at all and the whitelist has been re-enabled. Nothing happened to my PC because I just inserted the old wlan card so It's working good.
Again, thank you so much for all!
I'll attach here the photos I've taken of the advanced BIOS menu and the logo.

Aw... What happened to this bios and and how the whitelist patch went missing.

I shouldn't have done full unlock, so this time I made only minimal changes.
If the logo looks like this, then its displacement is made in percentage. I redid the mod again and it is available in the same post.
You no longer need to send any photos.

Hi!
I've installed your latest file so I'll update you with how's working.
The BIOS it's working like a charm. It's true that now I have less options but it doesn't matter 'cause it's perfectly stable and even so I have more options than with the stock BIOS.
The WLAN whitelist has dissapeared again, so I was able to install my advanced WLAN module again!
The logo is again our worst enemy. It's finally completely round but it looks spplited in two (I know you told me I didn't need to send you more pics but I'll upload one so you can see how it looks).
We're almost done with this and I'd like to send you a little bit of money through PayPal just for the time you're spending helping me with all of this. Seriously you're a machine!

Yeah. This logo turned out to be unfortunate. I needed to simulate a excessive stretch on 21.97802197802199%. To create it, instead of online web editor with the ability to set only integer parameters, I used paint.net. In short, it did not automatically remove the metadata. Photos for previous logos that were not split did not contain metadata (file information). Accordingly, the new ones took up more space in the bios and were read incorrectly. I went back to working with templates and it worked out.

You owe me nothing. I'm an enthusiast, you know how much I learned from this? In fact, I have to say thank you for your patience.

The new mod is available at the same location.

Hi!
I've been busy these days with uni stuff but I'm here again.
Thank you for your inconditional help I hope one day I can return the favor :''')
So now let's comment about the results of your latest BIOS.
On the one hand, the logo still resist us. We are so so close of making it completely round, but still not at all. However, if you can ignore the logo thing i'd understand. It's being harder that we thought. If not, we can still trying till we win this, hahaha.
On the other hand, I've seen I have many advanced options enabled thanks to you. Does anyone of them make me possible to disble the AMD card? I want to do this because, since I've updated my PC to Windows 10, it started to give me all sort of problems. I think it's because of the fixed/dynamic mode stuff and its compatibility with Windows 10, so when I use the laptop without the AMD graphics it works like a charm.
I'll wait for your answers, thanks!!!!

Hi!

I need an advice. The picture below shows a comparison of the logos in their nominal size.

They are almost identical, only one is something like a monochrome version of the original, but I took it from you. The new logo should completely repeat the shape of the old one, be round. I don't know what's wrong here, have any ideas?

Does anyone of them make me possible to disble the AMD card?

If you follow the next path, can you see the
"Primary Display"
and
"Always Enable PEG" settings?

Advanced - Video Configuration...;
Advanced - Pci Express Graphics...

Change their values ​​to "IGFX" and "Disabled" respectively.
