Computer will not boot after bios update

This afternoon I recieved an urgent BIOS update in much the same format as I have received updates from HP for years. It was accompanied with some other non urgent update.
So I gave the permissions to make the update.
I recieved a notice that the update had been successfully completed and the computer said it was restarting.
The problem is that it never woke up...
After several minutes I manualy restarted the computer.
As the boot began I heard three beeps, and then nothing but a black screen.
I shut down and restarted after several minutes but this time no beeps just black screen.
I figured that somthing must have corrupted the BIOS
I began researching what the three beeps mean. Appearently three different sets of BOIS were used in this model. Different BIOS have different beeps.
Well I sure never thought I would need to write down what BOIS I have...
In my research I have see referances to holding down certain F keys for different BIOS options as I start the computer
If I hold down an F key when I hit the start button the computer emediately shuts off
How can I get to the BIOS to reset or roll back the update? What next?

The box is on the way...
In addition the the methods outlined in the article The Hp tech had me try to start tapping the F 10 key.
Nothing worked...
Hp is sending me a box to return the computer to a repair facility.
Thank you for your timely assistance,
Sparks

Pavilion g6t wont boot after bios update now just black screen please help!

I downloaded an update for the bios for my pavilion g6t-1d00 laptop running windows 7 64 bit. It started acting kind of funny but I didnt think anything of it til I tried to boot it up the next day and all I got was a black screen and a orange led light on the f12 button for the internet and the caps lock button after blinking afew times started the dredded two times every couple of seconds. I tried the windows key+B key power key, no luck. I cant access anything because I have no monitor and I'm at my wits end. I refuse to wipe my hard drive and start over even if I could! I cant access hp tools or manager or anything, please someone has to have a solution!

@Fuschia4me,
1.       You will have to use another computer
2.       Access the HP.com site with the BIOS updates available here is the link
3.       You want to select the F.36 BIOS version
4.       When you click on the update then click download and it will ask you to save or run, you want to save to a flash drive
5.       Once done insert the flash drive into your laptop
6.       Turn the computer on and press the windows and B key like before
If the process doesn’t work the first time I would try at least 2 more times.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Laptop won't boot after BIOS Update

My laptop took an automatic BIOS update
Now when I try to turn on my computer it won't turn on:
Screen is black
Power button and f12 button lights flash at 5 second intervals indefintiely
At the same interval a fan or hard drive can be heard spinning for a split second then stopping
I've tried the hard reset (Remove power and battery fo 5+ minutes, plug in power but no battery and turn on) but no affect.
The Windows key + B key with the power button for 1 second had no affect either.
I can't find any info with my exact problem (All other info seems to have blinking light codes while mine is just at a constant interval)
Thanks!

@B1-17 ,
Thank you for posting back. Now based on how you are explaining the response you are getting after doing what you have done so far the next step will be to try and get a response with removing some components and then see what kind or response you get.
Here are the steps you want to follow.
First remove your memory from you notebook. Here is a link for the Maintenance Manual that will show you how to do this.
(When Removing Or Adding Any Part To Your Notebook. Remove Battery and Power Cord.)
1) Remove bother Memory Modules. Put the power cord back in only.
2) Start your notebook and see if a new flash code or beep code happens.
3) If yes place only one memory module back in to your notebook and try rebooting.
4) If you boot up then we have a bad stick of memory.
5) If you still have a flash or beep code. Remove the single memory module and try the other.
6) If this lets you boot up. Replace memory module that is not in the notebook.
7) If you still have the original problem or a new beep code. Power down again.
8) Now remove power cord then the hard drive. Use Maintenance and Service Guide for instructions.
9) Try booting up again and see if this changes the original flash code or beep code.
10) If yes then replace hard drive if no then contact phone support for repair options.
At this point if there is no change in the original flash or beep code you are looking at a repair. For information on how to get your system repaired please contact our phone support.

Pavilion m9500y wont boot after bios update

Hello Everyone,
I have a m9500y desktop that I recently did a bios update on. The update seemed to go through just fine but then when it rebooted it ended up beeping a few times and showed only a black screen. I removed the power cord and cmos battery and tried to power on after putting them back. It came back to the boot screen and hitting f10, it says "Entering Setup" and a flashing cursor, but doesn't get passed that. Is there a way to get into some recovery mode and reflash the bios again?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,
There is one HP BIOS update available for your PC when using Win Vista 64 bit.
Is this the update that has failed? Did you attempt this BIOS update running a different version of Windows?
It may be possible to mod the BIOS update per above and flash again. Another option is to have HP reflash your PC's BIOS. The cost to have HP fix may not be worth it given your PC's introduction date in 2008.
This site may provide some help. Check out BIOS Recovery. Current HP PC's use AMI BIOS. Your PC may have an Award BIOS.
Or you could contact a local PC tech for assistance. The tech may be able to reflash the BIOS at a lower cost.
There is no easy fix for this problem.

X121e doesn't boot after BIOS update

Hello everybody,
I am experiencing following problem with my Lenovo X121e Laptop.
After suffering problems with the Fn-keys on my Laptop, I yesterday decided to give it a shot and upgrade my BIOS for 1.06 to 1.11. I downloaded the BIOS update package from the Lenovo website and startet flashing using WinFlash. Flash progress went fine, ending in the WinFlash shutting down and innitiating a reboot. After Windows had shut down, the Display remained black, not giving me a chance even to reach the BIOS.
I have already tried to start up the Laptop without AC and battery pack, but no change. Even tried to hold the power button for about 60 seconds when having the Laptop disconnected from AC and battery, nothing.
Can anybody tell me what happend to my X121e and how I can get it working again ? Or is it a case for warranty now ? I
Thanks for helpful answers in advance.

Tecra S1 - problems with touchpad after BIOS-update to 2.50

Hi,
after the BIOS-update to version 2.5, the touchpad doesn't do anything. Starting in the docking station, the optional PS2 mouse works without any problem. Starting undocked, the touchpad doesn't work anymore. Normally - before update - the touchpad started it's work immediately after undocked booting.
What can I do to reactivate the touchpad???
Wanky

Hi Jeffrey,
thank you for your tips!
First I tried the hotkeys. All hotkey combinations work successful - except for the touchpad key F9...
After reinstallation of the touchpad driver, undocking the Tecra and disconnecting the USB-mouse I started with the Toshiba HWSetup tool to switch the functionality of the pointing devices to simultaneously. After installing the touchpad driver and repeated booting of the Tecra -> no progress.
After all examinations, no step further... I'm tired...
If you have another ideas, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Uwe

Lenovo w510 will not boot after BIOS update

Hi,
This morning I used the windows bios update utility to update my Lenovo w510 type 4318. Everything appeared to have been successful until the machine rebooted. It froze on the lenovo splash screen with text saying to press the blue think vantage button for more options.
I waited a good 30 minutes to make sure it wasn't processing anything before trying again. When frozen pressing the power button cause system to beep two times Pause and beep three more times.
Called Lenovo support and was told since out of warranty (2/12) the onlyI option is for paid mail in repair at quoted maximum of $575. Needless to say I was very dissatisfied - and made this clear to support who informed there was no way to escalate and no other options.
Does anyone have any other options or ability to escalate this case and keep a Lenovo customer. really disappointed
Case #9026SN6
Btw, reason i updated bios to fix issue with usable ram showing 3 gb.
Solved!

sometimes it is safer to do the bios update outside of windows environment.
NEVER use the .EXE method for a BIOS update. Always use the .ISO and the CD/DVD boot method. Never update after the warranty expires.

T500 takes 15 minutes to boot after bios update

symptoms:
it takes around 10 or so minutes to get to the thinkpad press f1 to set up screen, after that it gives me a screen that says ME is initializing, this is after a bios update and subsequent roll back of the bios. both bios updates now give me the same result. sleep functions also seems to not work, once im into windows my t500 operates as usual.
what I've done:
in addition to rolling back the drivers Ive disconnected /reconnected the cmos battery and turned off AMT. ive also made sure that all of my drivers are up to date.
machine is a 2081-cto running on win7
anyone have any idea what i can do? i still have a long warranty but would like to solve it myself so i dont have any down time.
Solved!

Hi guys and welcome to the forum, dinny.
You might try fiddling with the BIOS setting for the security (TPM) chip:
F1 at boot to get to BIOS setup, then Security, then Security Chip.
I have mine set to "Disabled" but have seen other reports that setting it to "Enabled" can cure bootup delays.
Worth a try, please let us know if it helps you.
Good luck,
Frank

Satellite Pro L300 will not boot after Bios update

Help please.
I have just formated a Satellite Pro L300 laptop.
I used all the updated drivers from Toshiba and all went very well.
I then updated the bios with the latest version.
After doing this the laptop will not boot but just keeps scrolling through the start menu and no matter what option I choose it just keeps doing the same thing.
Any ides welcome

Hi
I used the Microsoft installation disk but just keep getting to the same stage until the blue screen appears. I have tried different installation disks and also changed the hard drives as well. I can do everything in bios, change boot device enable or disable devices but that is it. I have tried a few times to instal windows but it just stops at the same point saying windows is stopping instal to protect the system. I fear the bios update has done some permanent damage as I cant get past the dreaded blue screen.Thanks anyway

[HP Omni 10 5601TW] Tablet won't boot after BIOS update

I tried to use this utility to update my tablet's BIOS.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-132613-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4157&product=6796753&sw_lang= After the update my tablet doesn't boot, or in the words of what this BIOS version fixes, the tablet stops functioning and displays a black screen after the BIOS is updated. How can I restore previous BIOS? Thanks in advance,Arpan

hey, i have run into the exactly same issue with my Omni 10 - Win 8. there was a BIOS update available in the HP Assistant app, i installed it and rebooted. Now no display on boot. On pressing the power button, i just get a usual small vibreation of the tablet switching on, and then nothing happens. the vibreation keeps repeating every 10-15 seconds. there is no display. i have tried with power+vol up and also power+ vol down button combos, but it just keeps vibrating every 10-15 seconds with no display. was a solution found for this?

T450s won't boot after bios update

Just got my new t450s yesterday. Booted it up today and connected to the internet. Lenovo widget popped up and told me there was an update. It said there was a new bios update. I walked through the UI steps and it installed the new bios and then went to reboot the machine. Machine did not post. Any attempt to power on gets a blank screen and 2 short beeps, pause, 3 short beeps. The Green light on the power button is currently gently pulsing. pressing and holding the power button does nothing. Tried unpluging and replugging both the battery and the AC adaptor and no change. help?

Guys, I just faced the same issue. My T450s was delivered to me this afternoon. I got it home and plugged it in and was prompted for the BIOS update while I was updating Windows. Went through the UI and the machine did not come up after shutting down for the update. I found this post online and tried to factory reset but did not get a response again. Things were getting crazy and I decided to try and remove the external battery and let it drain down. But I just thought of trying the factory reset after the external battery was removed and it worked!! The machine has booted up and went straight into installing the Windows updates and I found that the BIOS has been successfully updated too. Really weird! Seems to be running fine now. But a scary way to start off!

Helix died on me, won't boot after BIOS update

I just did a BIOS update the other day. No idea what version it is. When I booted it said it "detection error on HDD...". I have since reset the BIOS options to default, and now it boots to a DOS-like boot screen that shows the ATA HDD0 drive. But selecting it and hitting enter just flashes the screen and nothing happens.
When I attach a USB thumb drive with Linux, it shows up in the options on the DOS-like boot screen, but selecting it won't boot from it.
The laptop is now totally uselss and I'm losing days of time and it's a major problem. What to do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello. Assuming that you have not clean installed a new operating system, and you've got the
original Win8 installation on your Helix.
Enter your BIOS setup by pressing F1 when the Lenovo logo appears.
Go to Security - Secure Boot and set it to Disabled if you want to boot any other OS than Win8.
If you're happy with just running Windows 8 on it, then I recommend Secure Boot to be set to ON.
Go to Startup - Boot - and on top should be Windows Boot Manager.
With Secure Boot set to on, UEFI/Legacy Boot is greyed out and set to UEFI Only.
With Secure Boot set to off, and you want to boot other OS, like Linux, it should be set to both.
Check these settings and see if your machine boots.

Kt4v , Barracuda failing Windows boot after bios update

Hello
I have KT4V , i had bios 6712 v1.7 installed. I bought today Sempron 3000+ and I wanted to make it works so first i downloaded Bios update "1c0"(latest one) version and flashed my bios . Everything went fine , i restarted PC , Bios asked me to for default settings i pushed F1 , and everything was going fine (still with old CPU Athlon 2000+) , Windows started to boot , and after 2 sec of Windows getting load(Screen with blue load bar appeared for 1-2 second) RESTART , i was confused .
I installed 1.7 Bios(my old one) and still the same. Trying to find out what hapenned i unpluged my Secondary Disk (Primary SLAVE - Barracuda 120GB 7200.7) , and everything was working , windows loaded from my Primary master like always .
Everytime i plug in the Barracuda windows is restaring during boot.
What is going on ? PLZ HELP , Try to imagine how mad i`am with new CPU at my desk :((((
P.S.I made all combinations with Slave , MAster , another data cables , another supply cables . Still nothing

Quote
boot from your windows CD, and attempt a repair install of windows. clearing CMOS / updating BIOS has probably changed some settings that windows disagrees with
Repairing a Windows installation
done . Result - none , still restarting when loading the windows with Secondary Disk.
Quote
I'm not sure, have you cleared CMOS? Power off, unplug power cable, wait a minute or three, move jumper, move jumper back, power cable in and power on. And don't forget to set time and date.
done , result - none , i changed jumper settings and have been waiting for 2 minutes.
Quote
KT4V supports 333 FSB, so why did you have to upgrade Bios ? As Fred says, after each change in Bios ( upwards/downwards) you should clear CMOS.
Kt4v support FSB 333 , but it dont support all CPU , thats why there is a latest patch Quote
-Fix system reports incorrect message for AMD 3200+ CPU.
-Support Sempron L2 512K 3000+ CPU.
And I`am still with Athlon 2000+ , because my disk dont go with windows.
I unnistalles Alcohol 120% , i thought that it could be letters of drive conflict , but no :(
Bios detect harddisk perfectly .
Have no more ideas what to do :(
