Hello Community:
I friend of mine gave me a really old notebook he had gathering dust in a closet and it turned out to be a Compaq Presario 3415LA in incredibly good shape!
The thing is that, apparently, somebody attempted an OS update or something along that way and ended up deleting the whole OS.
Long story short: I need to update the BIOS to the latest version but, as I came to learn, HP removed all the files for this particular notebook. And on top of that, I need to update the BIOS from a USB stick because there´s no OS installed on the machine =(
What I was wondering is: would there be a place where I could find those old support files so I could create a bootable USB stick and update the BIOS from it?
Here´s the relevan info on the notebook:
Notebook Model: Presario V3000 (V3415LA)
Product Number: GM642LA#AC8
Serial Number: 2CE7332VNN
System Board ID: 30B5
BIOS Version: F.37
Hope there is still hope ...
Thanks!
