HP Compaq dc5800 Q33-1

BIOS .rar 870 KB Shared

Firmware dump for an HP Compaq dc5800 desktop marked Q33-1, compressed with RAR to roughly 870 KB. A companion file labelled Q33-2 also exists. The name does not explain the difference between them, nor does it give a BIOS version. Typical use is recovering a dead or bricked system board by reprogramming its BIOS flash chip with an external programmer. Always read the original chip first, keep that copy safe, and confirm the image length matches the chip before writing.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
