Change bios splash screen
There used to be a utility called EREPLOGO but it doesn't show up as a download for your system. On older HP models you could put an image in the HP_Tools partition as follows:
Adding a custom logo to the HP_Tools partition
Instead of using one of the EREPLOGO utilities to replace the default HP logo, you can also place your custom image in a specific location in the HP_Tools partition.
- Select the custom logo image you want to use. For BIOS 09, BIOS 2011, and BIOS 2012, it must be in .jpg file format. For BIOS 08 it must be in .bmp file format.
- In the Hewlett-Packard folder on the HP_TOOLS partition, create a folder called “Logo.”
- Save the image in the \Hewlett-Packard\Logo folder.
- Rename the image as HPlogo.jpg (or HPlogo.bmp for BIOS 08 systems).
- Reboot the computer, and then press the f10 key at POST to enter the BIOS Setup.
- Select System Configuration, and then select Boot Options.
- Select Custom Logo, and then select Enabled.
- For BIOS 2011 and BIOS 2012 generations, clear the checkbox for FastBoot.
- Save the changes and exit Setup. The custom logo will now display during POST.
You can check if there is anything there.

A strong interest in up to date and cutting edge tech - VR , AR , AI , ML , Blockchain are all areas I am particularly interested in right now – I am excited to watch the applications of these various technologies begin to improve the day to day lives of the average human! Love for learning new technologies, where I can transform an idea into reality. I am decisive, end-user focus and user experience professional. Experience in all stages of app development, that is defining, developing, testing, deployment and post maintenance of mobile solutions. Based upon solid work experience in a rapidly changing online market and using data analysis, I am capable of thinking out-of-the-box and come up with optimal, creative solutions. I can guide a team in a flexible and adequate manner to create these solutions. In addition to making apps, I am is also passionate about teaching others the techniques to make them. I read iOS newsletters and follow technical blogs to keep myself updated. I prefer to use latest version Xcode and swift. I am working with a product company so more than just completing a task I give more importance to the quality and maintainability of the code. While coding I always add unit tests and I prefer to use some continuous integration tool like Travis. I use git UI for version control, Tower is my favorite app. I use Xcode instruments to profile the app performance. Adding documentation wherever it is necessary. Not a huge fan of 3rd party frameworks but I analyze deeply before adding a dependency to the project.

I have a new HP 246 G1 notebook PC from the tamil nadu govt. The bios splash screen is a photo of the state chief minister.
I used 'universal bios backup toolkit 2.0' to take a backup of my present bios and loaded it in 'ezh20_2.1.0.4.exe' inside the bios editor. But the splash screen to be replaced is not showing there when I load the bios backup file.
I tried updating my bios to the latest version inside F.04.
I tried to enable 'fast boot' but that option is not available in this version of bios.
How can I disable or change the splash screen to the official HP splash screen?
