Bios Flashing On Bricked Hp laptop

Every attempt to use wincris or manually create a flash usb drive failed when done on a win 7 64 bit system, even when it appeared to worked, the flash never worked on the brick system. Worked in one try when used wincris from 32 bit XP to build usb flash.

On a fully functional 32 bit Win XP sytem:

1. Downloaded the bios software from HP drivers/software page for the specific laptop model ( I downloaded from the Vista 32 bit menu this time, not that their appears to be a difference, but this is the one that worked)

2. Used 7-zip to extract the files form the HP bios executable.

3. Downloaded wincris/crisdisk package from somewhere in the sea of forums on the topic

4. Extracted crisdisk package

5. Copied the WPH file from the HP bios directory to the wincris.exe directory, then renamed it 'BIOS.WPH'

6. Inserted a 4gb Cruzer USB drive, formated it to FAT32.

7. Ran wincris.exe.

8. Made sure usb drive was selected, and then hit 'Start' and followed directions from there.

9. Once USB was ready, safely removed usb drive from xp system.

On bricked HP Laptop

10. With nothing attached, battery removed and a/c unplugged, I held the power down for 30 sec. I rubbed a rabit's foot for roughly 20 of those 30.

11. Then released the power button, plugged in a/c power, plugged in the usb drive, and then pressed and held the 'B' key and Windows key down for 4 seconds. Then, with those keys still pressed, hit the power, held that for about 2 seconds. Then shortly after one or a few loud solid beeps, the magical choas of random, more playful beeps occurred for not more than a few minutes.

12. The system shut itself off. I removed the usb drive, successfully booted, and let out a very large celebratory roar of victory.
