DV5000z. New bios f.31A is missing from HP website.
Some days ago I've downloaded the new bios f.31a from the HP support page of dv5000z.
Today I've seen that this new bios is missing. There's only the old f.24a.
What's happened?HP dv25xxel; T7300, Intel 965, X3100, 2Gb ram, F.25, Win Xp HE. Rmclock 2.35, cpu always in idle (superFLM) at 600mhz. Headache generated by fastidious fan always spinning above 35° C
DV25xx, the headache generator!!!

Mine shipped with F.31. Is there a way to save the bios like you can using a normal flashing utility on a desktop? I'll do that on mine and send it to you if you want.

The same situation with v2000z/l2000. The only BIOS update available is F.13 whereas the newest machines ship with F.24...Hp's page is like crazy these days.

Well, at least fo v2000z, the bios has been updated to F.23 (from F.13) on HP website for over a week and is still there.

The F.12A and F.03 BIOS for the new DV4000 are also removed from the site today. The only one left is F.16 for the older version of DV4000.
