That does not seem to be the correct model name. Searching for "14-bp0xx" on Google basically does not find anything specific.
What is the actual model name?
Is there no sticker on the body somewhere?
If you do not see the model name but have the serial number of the notebook, then you could also search for the model name by entering the serial number on the HP website:

There is no 14-bp0xx on the HP website, but there is a 14-bp000.
Again, you should be able to find out what the exact model number is if you enter the serial number on the HP website.

The box says 14-bp080nd, the xx stuff was what the BIOS mentioned.
I've checked for the latest BIOS for my machine on the HP support site, but that gave an error message, haha.

YoupMelon:
The BIOS update is an .exe file; probably something I can run after installing windows, right? Not an 'image' that I can use in the BIOS maintenance utility.
So I guess the question now is:
What is the probability that the BIOS update will actually solve the problem?
Because if it doesn't, or something goes wrong, I may not be able to return the laptop to the dealer...
Does anyone have enough experience to give me good advice?
