My compaq cq61-411wm can not boot up. It has the sounds of the boot up but every time I have attempted, the wifi and power button lights up, and the caps lock and number lock lights flash once every few seconds.

HP Pavilion DV7-1428ca _ CAPS + NUM LOCK Continually Blinks + Will not Start up Black Screen

Would appreciate any suggestions on the issue I am encountering.
I have an HP Pavilion DV7-1428ca that was left powered on, so it went into Safe mode (screen goes blank). Once I came back to my Laptop hitting any key would take out of of the Safe mode however this time it did not. It remained with black screen irregardless of buttons pressed.
Had booted and can hear the fan and hdd go for the 2secs then it stops to a Black Screen with the "CAPS + NUM LOCK" Continually Blinking. Tried to Hard Boot several times but the same thing re-occurs.
It does not seem to be blinking in a series a code, just a steady blink (every sec) for both the CAPS + NUM Lock for as long as I leave it on. HP Site provides a chart from 1-6 series of blink codes which does not seem to apply to me.
Being out of Warranty I am hesitant in bringing it to a local repair shop without trying any alternate trouble shooting first.
Thanks

Hi,
First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter unplugged, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute. Plug in the AC Adapter ( leave the battery out ) and see if the notebook will start.

Bricked my touchsmart -tx2 1025dx. Cap/Num lock LEDs blinking once.

Bricked my touchsmart-tx2 1025dx. Cap/Num Lock LEDs blinking once, so I replaced the processor but the LEDs are still giving me a single blink (processor issue). Any advice?

Hey NikosK,
The one-blink code is indicating an issue related to CPU and/or system board (bent pins, etc.). It's possible that the system board needs to be replaced.
Here's a table of all of the LED codes:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443366&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en
Do you know what caused this issue in the first place, before replacing the processor?

HP Pavilion tx2500 - Caps Lock and Num Lock lights blink once

I turn on my HP Pavilion tx2500 and I hear the fan spinning but nothing else happens. The lights next to the Caps Lock and above the Num Lock keys blink (a repeating single blink). According to some HP technical support documents I found online, the repeating single blink indicates a CPU problem. My laptop is out of warranty and the $400 to send it to HP to have it fixed is practically the same price I paid for the laptop 2 years ago.
Do the blinking lights mean the CPU is fried? And is there anything I can do to fix the laptop?
Thanks,
-Jeff
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have the same problem. I called HP they said the same thing. But, I am BIOS engineer myself and has worked with lot of motherboards, So I felt there is no point in sending a 399$ to find what happend and on top of that fixing charges.
I noticed the problem started when I installed Win 7 Ultimate edition to the board and let tbe board Idle for a long time and it went into sleep mode and when I hit the button for resume it would not resume, the blinking started.
I have seen the same thing happend to my friend laptop, luckily for him it recovered and he removed the Sleep Option. SO his laptop is shutdown or running in full power.
I thought this is not coincidence, there is defenitely a bug in HW or SW that is causing it. remove battery. I replaced the memory and removed the cmos battery and left for a long time (short the battery terminals to discharge quickly). Then I rebooted the machine, Luckuly for me it went to windows, I tht of replacing the BIOS firmware, bcos they ahve some latest on by that time I had a visitor and I was talking to him the system went into sleep mode and will never recover. The system started blinking. I dont see this as a CPU problem.
I still evaluating this. I will try to post my findings. I have aclip to read the BIOS chip but everytime i get different read. SO I am planning to remove the BIOS chip and put a socket so that I can play with the BIOS.

Number pad doesn't work, and can't find Num Lock button

My number pad has stopped working. I looked in the User Guide which says I have a Num Lock button, but I don't. Where is it located. Thank you.

Solved - Never mind, I found it. I don't know why I couldn't find it last night. I'd looked for it before without finding it. For some reason, there it was this morning - where it should have been. I guess the computer elf came in an installed it. Thanks to anyone who may have thought of responding.

Failure to Boot Up, HP dv4-1225dx BLACK SCREEN Blinking Caps/Num Lock

HP,
Since yesterday, my laptop has been unable to start up, at all. When I turn on the power button, the fans start to run, but there is no backlight on the monitor at all, just the audio system on the keyboard with continous blinking lights on both Caps Lock and Num Lock. These lights continue to blink forever until I am forced to shut the computer off.
The HP model is Dv4-1225dx, was running Vista.
Could I get some help to resolve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi,
Although I hope you already resolved this issue I do have a temporary; possibly perminate solution. I read an article that sounds ridiculous, but it worked for me. Cover your pc with towels to block all air flow. Just leave the screen open so you can see it. MONITER THIS CLOSELY!! After 20 minutes or so it should turn on. Log in and back up what you can just in case. You also want to let the pc run a while to cool down. Shut down and let cool for at least an hour. Try to boot up. If you cant now repeat the above. It may take more than 1 try.
Hope this helps someone. Please also remember, this isnt a perminate fix but its better than junking your pc!

Pavilion dv7-1245dx caps light and num lock light blink

Got a Hp pavilion dv7-1245dx. When going to start the computer after hitting the power button the all the lights come on on the volume bar, the fan runs and then the caps light and the num lock light start blinking. I can tell if there is a specific number of blinks in a sequence or if it is just one blink repeatedly. This computer is less than 2 yrs old. Please help

I have already tried all the powering down options and nothing is helping. I really need this thing!

Caps Lock/Num Lock LED blinks 5 times on bootup - HP ProBook 6450b

Hi all members/pros, I was tasked to resolve a bootup issue on a HP ProBook 6450b and did managed to get it up and running again without much effort. The notebook Caps Lock/Num Lock LED flashes/blinks 5 times and then pauses and blinks again 5 times. Seeked assistance on online HP support(link below) and it stated that it was a System board failure. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01732674 So then I opted to swap the hard disk tand LCD monitor hardware with with another HP ProBook 6450b which is functional but display damaged as the user was a senior manager at where I worked - Boroko Motors, Papua New Guinea - and prolong downtime was not an option. Just as I was about to get under the hood, the buggered notebook deciided to spring back to live loading onto the Windows login screen. I noiced also that I was in our server room(with much cooler temperature) that may have aided the componenets on the main borad to function so I presumed the cooling system was at fault. I then got under the hood and confirmed that the fan/vents were clogged up with dust/debris which might have collected over time. Did the cleaning and after that it hasnt failed so far... Thanks all! Get the HP ProBook 6450b service manual here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02760808.pdf

I, recently, bought a 6735b hp laptop for $100. It does the same thing as your describe. I think the motherboard overheated. So, I ordered a new motherboard from getcomputerparts.com out of China to see if it will solve the no boot problem. I'm hoping this will solve the problem. I noticed that when I first got the laptop, second hand, that the fan wasn't blowing out, and later found a lot of dust that simply blowing it out solved the air circulation problem. I think that the heat destroyed some connections to the video or hard disk drive controller chip which made my hdd light blink on and off every second or so, and also made my Optical Drive seem to blink its LED on and off, and a slight scratching sound every second, as well.
I also, saw on Youtube.com, a video about the nvidia video chip getting connection heat damage at the solder joints, and there was a way of putting a penny with heat sink paste after 'burning' it for a couple of hours with a hot spotlight lamp with aluminum foil around the rest of the board to protect the rest of the board other than the video chip. But, this was on another hp product that failed after 1 year, no screen no POST.
I am hoping a 'new' system board will do the trick though, and I am spending about $153 for the part delivered, and $75 to put it in at a local computer shop.

12/27/07 update and Caps/Num Lock

I'm not positive that the update came out today, but it's when I found it and downloaded it. Upon the restart, my Num Lock light was on and so was Caps Lock. I thought it was odd, but I turned them off and didn't think about it.
Gee. Big surprise. The update managed to reverse the functions of these two buttons. If they turned OFF, i.e., the lights are OFF ... then the lock function is on. So if the caps lock light is OFF, caps lock is ON. Same thing for Num Lock.
Now, I like the little green lights myself, but I'm afraid to find out what else is reversed and screwed up.
I so regret paying for a family license pack. Particularly since I have not upgraded the other computers in the house after all the troubles I've had with Leopard.
sigh

and you did the recent security update, too?
EDIT:
Well, after the third restart, the issue seems to have resolved. Bizarre.

Flashing CAPS & NUM Lock lighs

Hi,
This happened with me around 2 weeks ago. I was using my friend's HP Pavillion DV6-1211AX at night and shut it down properly. Next morning it refused to start up!
All that it does is the CAPS and NUM lock lights keep blinking (one blink) and the CPU fan keep on rotating. There are no beeps or any flickering on the screen.
I have checked out this link [ Blank Screen LED Error Codes ] and was informed that my processor might be faulty.
The present processor is an AMD Turion RM-75 and I tried out another functional processor supported by my motherboard, mentioned in the HP service manual, AMD Turion Ultra RM-82, but it too resulted in the same error.
I also tried to dead flash the BIOS but it just wouldn't read pen drives.
I am really in a soup as my friend is now insisting that I get him a new laptop. I would appreciate any kind of help / suggestion / advice in this regard.
Thanks in advance

Hello sohrabgandhi,
If you’re getting the error that the cpu has failed it could be the board that is bad.
You might want to take the laptop somewhere and see if they can find the bad spot on the board.
I don’t think that it is anything that you did to make the board go bad.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Num lock button "reversed"

Hi. Ive only had my new macbook for five days. its been running fine untill this morning when i turned it on. i noticed that num lock was lit up so i just turned it off. anyway was trying to type and only the number buttons work, so put num lock back on and was able to type. caps lock works but does not light up. have tried restarting, removing the battery and resseting the pmu and nothing works. please help.

Call Apple if you have only had it five days they can replace it. They have a 14 day return policy.

HP Pavillion dv6446 caps/num lock lights won't light

i had my laptop screen replaced and when i got it back the caps lock/num lock lights wern't working. i took it back to the guy who fixed it and he told me it he couldn't replace the LED's because they needed to be replaced and he didn't know how to replace LED's mounted to the motherboard. i found it a bit funny that both LED's blew at the exact same time, especially since i had several other problems that appeared after he replaced the screen (those problems have since been fixed by myself). is there some controller that has been messed with that would cause the LED's to not light up?

I am facing the same problem with my dv6500 and never had a so big issue as yours. I believe leds are ok (when I press "fn" + num lock) this led lights up. I would really appreciate a help from HP in this issue.

Caps/Num lock LED indicators not working in gnome

I have a qPad MK-85 mechanical keyboard, and I can't seem to get the LED status indicators for the lock keys to work.
The CAPS and NUM lock function still works, but I don't have any indication whether they'r'e on or not.
It only seems to be under gnome I have this problem, because they're working just fine in grub, windows, and tty2-6.
I have done a search and it seems a lot of other people with mechanical keyboards have the same problem, but no solutions.
So.. anyone here have any solutions?
Edit: tested in xfce, not working there either

CAPS & Num Lock Lights

Hi,
It is the second time that this happens to me; I switched on my MacBook, and the number lock light and CAPS light turn on too. By keeping them on, they work as if they were off. While if i turned them off, they work as if they were on.
To resolve the problem i restart my mac, and everything goes back to normal..
Does anyone have the same problem or a solution to this?
Thank you all!
Regards
Val

Well...I have to say that if it wasn't happening to my MacBook RIGHT NOW, I wouldn't belive you. As I'm typing now, BOTH caps lock and num lock lights ARE ON! If I hit the shift key, I do get caps.
I JUST SHUT OFF THE CAPS LOCK LIGHT AND NOW ALL I GET ARE CAPS...EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE SHIFT KEY AS I"M DOING NOW.
123456789 Both lights are on as I type now, but when I shut off the num lock, all I could get on the keyboard were the number pad numbers as I typed at the beginning of this sentence.
With both lights off, again, all I get are the keypad numbers...no letters.
The MacBook was working fine earlier today. I just booted it up and it started with this weird behavior. I hope rebooting fixes it.
