Caps lock blinking

I have a g6 laptop that the caps lock light is blinking once then pauses and keeps doing that and does not boot. I have tested hard drive and it works on another laptop. And i have looked at the page that shows the blinking issues, the one blink is cpu, which i swaped out and it still does not boot. Not sure what else to check. If any one has any ideas that would be great.

Hi bluice25,
I am sorry to hear about this issue.
Yes, you are correct. This blinking code could mean a Processor (CPU) failure. But before we confirm that, lets try performing a Hard Reset to make sure that it is not residual static which is causing this issue.
Please try a Hard Reset as follows.
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
If the above step fails to start the Notebook properly and if you are still getting the same blinking error code, it confirms a CPU failure.
Good to know that you have checked and verified the Hard Drive. Did you really mean that you had changed the CPU too and it did not work? If that is the case, there is nothing else that could be done other than to contact HP and send the Notebook in for a repair so that a detail check on the Motherboard could be done to identify and fix the issue.
Please contact HP over the Phone/E-mail/Chat. If you are in the USA/Canada, please contact HP over the Phone at 1800-474-6836.

Hp Probook 4510s caps lock blinking no screen display

I rebooted my laptop and all the lights come on but network light ends to turn orange and caps lock blinking.

Well, my RAM will arrive tomorrow, we'll see if it works or not. Surprisingly, the laptop charges like it should, everything is fine except the 3 blinks.
I hope the new RAM will solve the problem.

Hi Nayj424,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your Compaq Presario CQ62-102TX Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks.

My laptop won't boot and caps lock blinking continuously (1blink in 4 sec.)

Sir,
Today morning I turned on laptop but laptop won't boot and wireless button glowing continuously and also caps lock blinking continuously as 1 blink per 4 sec.

do you mean 1 blink repeating and then a pause and 1 blink repeating again? The diagnostics show that as a CPU not functional issue.http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC-series/6529948/model/6622489/document/c01732674#AbT2 Try a hard reset.Follow the instructions at the following web page.http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-15-n209tx-Notebook-PC-(ENERGY-STAR)/6529948/model/6622489/document/c01684768 If a hard reset does not help, then contact HP for warranty service.

Hp pavilion g4 1104dx display white screen and caps lock blink twice

Hi i recently used my hp laptop screen to test another laptop acer aspire 5517. After the test i reconnected back the cable only to power it on a white screen appeared with caps lock blink twice. I thought the problem might be screen shot so i decided to connect to external monitor but still no signal on external monitor even after pressing fn+f4. What might be the problem thanks.

Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I understand you are having an issue with your Notebook. You had stated that you receive a White Screen and the Caps Lock are blinking twice. Please be very careful when it comes to blink patterns as sometimes there can be a pause between the blinking. Before you start troubleshooting, please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues. Here is the first document I found called Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset. If that does not work, please follow Computer Does Not Start (Windows 8). The last document I have for you that may help is called Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps. Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know how everything went. Thank you! Have a great day!

Hello SuperMario1,
Thanks for your response.
The last thing i did, remove CMOS battery and after a few minutes i plugged it.
Then connect AC power adapter and press power button.
Laptop starts but gives a error message
"The CMOS checksum is invalid, The BIOS will be reset to the default configuration and will be rebooted."
Finally laptop start normally. It works fine ...
But same problem when i restart
"blank screen caps lock blink 2 times every 3/4 sec"
So finally
1. remove CMOS battery and after a few minutes i plugged it again
2. connect AC power adapter and press power button
3. laptops starts normally (with a error msg same as previous)
4. Upgrade bios to F.29(previously i had F.24)
5. Everythings works fine (restart/shutdown have no effect)

Heyy guys
so i turned on my HP G56 Laptop this morning and nothing happens but the caps lock blinking and the wifi and power lights are red. i found online some codes but the caps lock codes when upto six, my laptops caps lock keeps on blinking and doesnt stop. it blinks around every 4 seconds.
HELP????

Hi sahibsahib,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having some problems with your laptop. That blinking light does indicate a hardware problem. It should be blinking in some sort of pattern and it will repeat. If just keeps blinking every four seconds then it could be just one blink which would indicate a CPU failure. This HP support document on Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink will show you the various blink codes.
If you have purchased the laptop within the last year you are in warranty and I would recommend that you contact HP. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America. If you are out of warranty you can still contact HP but there would be a charge or you can take it to a local technician.

HP ProBook 6540b won't boot and caps lock "blinking" continuously.

Hi,
I'm trying to help a friend with his laptop a Probook 6540b.
It won't boot and caps lock "blinking" continuously.
When I got it caps lock and num lock was "blinking" tre times... indicated memory problems, reseated the memory modules
and the the "tre time blinking" disappeared, but caps lock now blinking continuously and the only way to shot down the computer
is to disconnect the power.
Anyone with some ideas???

A neighbor had the same problem and asked for my assistance. I created a rescue disk using my HP desktop running Windows 7 64-bit. Even though her HP laptop was running Windows 7 32-bit, the disk allowed me to boot into windows on her computer. I then went to the HP web site and downloaded the latest BIOS and then flashed it to the BIOS chip following the instructions that came with the download. Everything is working fine now. Hope this helps.

Pavilion DV6, Black Screen and 3 Caps Lock Blink

HI,
I have an Hp Pavilion DV6 and I am getting the 3 blinks on the caps lock. When I turn on the PC it starts up, the caps lock blinks 3 times and the screen is just black. I have already tested the memory sticks, drain the battery, and hooking it up to an external monitor. Nothing shows on the other monitor and it just remains black. Please help!

Hi @shmurray,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are getting a blink pattern on the Caps lock LED, when you turn on the notebook. I am happy to help you with this.
I am including the page on the error codes for your reference: Blank Screen LED Error Codes
From that document the pattern you are getting indicates a memory problem. You said that you have tested the memory. What exactly did you try?
The document suggests reseating the RAM or trying a new set of RAM and then restarting the notebook. If you are still getting a memory problem after trying both of those things, ie a 3 blink code again, then it would likely suggest that there is a problem with the motherboard itself, either with the memory slot or one of the controllers related to memory.
In that case I would suggest contacting the technical phone support number at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html
If however reseating the memory or replacing it leads to a different error code or message please let me know, Although in that case the following may be helpful if you still have a blank screen.
Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot
Here are some other sources I found that may be helpful to you.

Caps lock blink 5 times on Compaq 615 laptop, but screen doesn't come on.

My Compaq 615 laptop screen doesn't come on, instead it blinks capslock 5 times. What shlould I do?
It has an AMD Athlon X2 processor, with Radeon 3200 graphics.
I didn't install any new software or hardware recently. All I did was work with the system at night, shut it down, and when I turned it on the following morning, the screen refused to come up, but the caps lock blinks 5 times.

Sorry to hear that. Please refer to the Blank Screen LED Error Codes document from HP Support. It sounds like a "General system board failure." The explanation says to contact HP for assistance. The motherboard might need to be replaced, and you will probably require the assistance of a technician to fix the problem.

Dv6 Notebook "Black Screen" following "Windows Blue Screen" error message. Caps Lock blinking!

I have a HP DV6 notebook. I left my computer on overnight and the next morning I woke up to find a Windows Blue Screen error message. It said to restart my computer. I was in a rush so I just closed the lid. When I returned I opened the lid and the screen was black. I pressed the power button to restart it and I haven't been able to restart it since. I now have a power light, a black screen and the CAPS LOCK light is blinking twice then a pause! Please help!

Hi btgclark,
I understand that you are having an issue with turning on your notebook and the CAPS LOCK light blinks twice and then pauses. The following document 'Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps' will walk you through the steps that you need to follow. For your error code, it means that the BIOS has a corruption failure. This document will walk you through the necessary steps to get this resolved.
If for some reason this document does not resolve the issue please provide me with the model number to your notebook. I have included a document 'How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?'
Please let me know how this works out for you, thank you.

Caps lock blink. laptop gets black screen

Hi! I'm getting a blank screen with the Caps Lock light blinking. I tried the troubleshooting forums where it tells you to put the ram stick in the outer slot. However mine is already in the outer slot and the same problem persists. Please help.

Will I lose my HDD data? Got a lot of imp stuff there.You will have to take out the HDD and use a external USB HDD adapter and access the HDD and copy your data off. That is the only way you can get the data back. Or send it to HP fix without the HDD and when they fix the board you can reattach the HDD and bootup and see if it can still recover the HDD and get yourself data back.

Hp probook 4420s does not start and continuously cap lock blinks

I have tried-------
1. Bios Recovery ( used windows key and B and power button)
2. changed the memory to another slot
3. Power button holding 3 times (15-20 sec) without connect AC & DC
Still remain the same problem:
Computer does not start and contineously blinking the cap lock
Note: Using Windows 7, when I updated then suddenly shut down the computer and does not start.

Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button
Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
Your notebook does not have Windows 8 installed, but almost everything in this troubleshooting document applies. Take a look at the blinking leds section. Blink codes are a diagnostic aid and the sequence of blinks repeat. There is a list which will tell you what the repeating blinks mean.
