You'd probably need to pull the machine apart, locate the chip etc. That said, its doable either if you're really brave, or a proper/great pc repair tech. If you can't trust the company to do the right thing, and don't mind the work, or paying someone to do it, its a potential option. | |

One would think HP has some responsibility for bricking working PC's, though "beyond warranty". Did their success after bricking printers last year (bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/…) inspire them to boost PC sales?? | |
| Jun 11 at 5:23 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek♦ | I'm not sure if it'll work in this case but I once bricked a motherboard, and used a in chip programmer to restore a known good bios. Its a bit in the weeds, and I was relying on some rather obscure fora to get where I needed, but it'd be a possible option. The programmers are not expensive, but its a but of a fiddly process in general | |
