510 Splash Screen Image Error FIXED for good !!
Hello everybody
I always wondered why some "wise" guys are posting partial answers, most of them they never even tested what they're talking about.I encourage you to share the experience with the comunity.
This FIX I've done it personaly ,in my case it was a Compaq Deskpro EN, bios 686P2.
1.Step to fix this "Splash Screen" error is to find out your BIOS version, Computer Model and Name(manufacturer). Go to START/RUN and type inside dxdiag then press enter.
A screen is opening showing you ,among other info, the PC Model name,and BIOS version
Note these two somewhere.
2.Go to theHP site and search for "Rom Flash Utilities 686P2" where the last number is the BIOS's version.
result should look like this : "CPQFlash Utility for Compaq Models with a 686P2 Family ROM"
3. Download and install following the instruction in the "readme" ,in the computer to fix.
Be aware, this is a BIOS flashing, check twice the bios and pc model before installing. Flashing the BIOS wrongly will kill that computer for good.
