never flash BIOS or risk this., only flash if
1: THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH PC.
2: HP TOLD YOU the bios fixes this exact problem.
3; getting the correct bios for this pC can be difficult.
4: flashing with a dead battery can fail,
5: If the flash fails, try again. repeat the flash,
6: if the BIOS is now dead, take out coin cell for 15min.
put it back see if BIOS key works now. and reflash it using only the correct new BIOS FLASH binary files only from HP and matching
your exact unstated, service TAG data. (i bet you did not even look or get it right here, as many do , and then brick the PC)
the touch page worked when new.
so how can BIOS suddenly go bad?. (it cant)
no windows OS stated
if you are still running the correct OS on this G61.
to make the pad work takes:
1: pad not damaged or cables inside not loose.
2: correct OS, that HP supports, (windows 10 may not be)
3: only HP version and disks loaded for OS and all drivers, not microsofts.
4: remove and load the correct mouse pad from HP.
5: bingo it works and no flash needed, nor desired ever or 99.9% of all cases. leave BIOS alone and win. is my motto.
what G61, since you never said, my guess you dont know
and if true, then how'd you get the correct bios.
you didnt. (my guess and is right most times when bios mangles)
here ill click 100 for your, my wild guess.
it runs vista and w7 only, are you >? hp disks not MS?
year 2009 made.(as old as....)
see results in last photo. (guessing your unstated service tag)
btw, next time ask for mouse pad help
and leave BIOS ALONE.
