  • HP Pavilion DV6 blank screen caps lock flashing continuously

    My laptop was working fine last night, this morning the screen stays blank, caps lock flashes once every 3 seconds or so continuously, the wireless light is solid amber, no other lights are on. I've tried a hard reset to no avail.
    When I power it on it sounds like the fan spins up and it tries to boot, then 2 seconds later it is quiet and nothing happens, if I close the lid without powering off the outside light on the top of the case stays on so it is not shutting down or in sleep mode when the case is closed.
    I've looked at a bunch of troubleshooting and none of the info seems to match this, any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    a single CAPS flash is a CPU failure, you can try following the below steps but it will most likely need to go in for repair
    power drain;-
    -remove battery and power cable
    -hold power button for 20 seconds
    BIOS recovery;-
    -hold windows+B
    -turn computer on keeping those keys held down
    if the light is still flashing at this point you'll need to contact HP, if it is in warranty then the repair should be free, if not there will be a cost

  • CS4: Flashing black screens between clips after exporting

    I'm having some trouble with a particular project when exporting video, and I can't seem to track down the cause. The primary problem is flashing black screens between clips, with the additional problem of occasionally having a clip that I fade to be completely black (ie, the first clip just fades to black instead of fading to the second clip).
    I say "occasionally" because the problem seems to migrate depending on what I do to try to fix it. I've noticed that if I shift the clips .1 seconds one way or another where there is a black screen, it will sometimes fix the problem, but when I fix one of them the exact same problem will pop up in another place where it didn't exist before. I can also export a few seconds of video where the problem occurs independently of the rest of the project and the issue won't occur, but will then reoccur in the same place if I export the project as a whole. All of the video is from the same source and is in the same format (.MOV from a Canon 7D). I've edited plenty of other stuff from the same source on the same computer, and the only other time I've seen this problem it's been fixed by just shifting the clips a little bit in the timeline as mentioned above. If anyone can suggest ANYTHING I can try to troubleshoot this problem I'd really appreciate it, because right now this is driving me up the wall.

    I've been exporting to h.264 exclusively so far. Below is a screenshot of where one of the offending screens appears between the two clips on the timeline (the yellow in the bar up top is there because I had stepped that clip back .1 seconds like I mentioned earlier and not re-renered the sequence). I've also verified that this particular spot shows no black screen on the Program Monitor - it's a completely smooth jump from one cut to another. Please let me know if you see anything that might be causing this!

  • CQ57 caps lock flashes

    CQ57 366SA  It started with a failed bios update. Caps lock flashes twice. Tried and failed to recover following steps found on this site. Now caps lock only falshes once. Still no boot. Help needed please

    Hi,
             If you have an option to roll back to previous BIOS version, then you can try it. After that if the issue still persists with 1 flash on the caps locks, then its an issue with CPU which you have to get it checked.

  • DV6-7010US Caps lock flash, no POST

    System was not used for several months. When we tried to use it, the system was extremely unstable and crashed several times with Windows blue screen errors, randomly didn't detect the hard drive, etc. Then it just stopped booting at all, and instead has the orange WiFi light with the caps lock LED flashing once every second (or so) indefinitely. LED error codes list says this is "CPU not functional." Since then, both the motherboard and CPU have been replaced, but the system still gives the same LED error code.
    Motherboard was ordered straight from HP Parts surfer, CPU from a 3rd party company with guarantee that item is tested as fully functional. Reports from this forum and others on this system and motherboard replacements are not overly positive. I'm tired of dumping money into this laptop and it not working. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Remove the hard drive and boot up. If you can get to the BIOS, the hard drive is faulty. It's highly unlikely that the new board and the cpu will cause exactly the same error. It means that some other component from the system must be faulty.

  • Flashing black screen hp pavilion dm4

    For a few weeks/months (since mid august) now my laptop (hp pavilion dm4-2070us) has been flashing a black screen every so often, sometimes repeatedly within a few minute time span or there could be hours at a time that it does not flash. Also, only parts of the screen flashes black not the whole thing. I have taken it to the store I bought it from and another store and they said it could need a new screen, but I am not sure if this is a hardware problem. The laptop has no water damage and no other external damage. I do not know if this is a sign of a crashing computer.
    Thank you for your help!

    A flashing screen is usually a hardware problem, along the lines of a damaged ribbon cable. However, there are a few things you can try to resolve the issue. Try the steps in this document and let me know if any of those help.

  • Bug report: crazy keyboard (caps lock flashing)

    Hi all!
    I had the problem of the "crazy keyboard" and I think I understand the cause.
    Mac model: Macbook pro MB134LL/A
    OS: Snow leopard 10.6.5 with latest updates
    Problem: sometimes the caps lock button flash and the trackpad freezes.
    I read similar problems in the forum, without a solution.
    I have an admin account on my mac and I installed the software "mobile partner" to manage mobile connections with an internet key huawei e176.
    Now I have version 16.001.17.04.51 for the mobile partner, and version 4.23.03.00 for the key drivers.
    The "crazy keyboard" problem can happen with these versions and with previous versions too.
    I noticed that in "system preferences->network->advanced settings of the installed HUAWEIMobile-Modem" the drivers are set by default to generic apple modem. So I changed with the "huawei mobile connect - 3G modem" drivers but sometimes this preference automatically changes back to generic apple modem.
    When the keyboard goes crazy I see that the drivers are set to generic apple modem.
    "Crazy keyboard" appears only after installing the internet key, so I think that the cause of the problem is the automatic change of the modem drivers.
    How to solve the problem?Change the admin account, so to avoid changes?
    Thank you

    Here’s the problem as best I can explain it with the help of the “/usr/openwin/demo/xev” tool.
    With the “Caps Lock” key engaged:
    Press and release of the (dotted) “i” key WRONGLY gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 59” and “keysym = 0x49”.
    Press and release of the (dotless) “ı” key correctly gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 19” and “keysym = 0x49”.
    Disengaging the “Caps Lock” key:
    Holding down the “Shift” key:
    Press and release of the (dotted) “i” key correctly gives uppercase (dotted) “İ” letter with “keycode = 59” and “keysym = 0x2a9”.
    Press and release of the (dotless) “ı” key correctly gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 19” and “keysym = 0x49”.
    Summary:
    The delivery of the keysym value of 0x49 seems to be wrong for the “Caps Lock” + “i” keys combination. (Shouldn’t it be 0x2a9?)
    I have learned that user 925353 has initiated SR: 3-5545975463 reporting this problem.

  • T510: Which Lenovo app puts caps lock symbol on screen?

    The caps lock symbol that appears on the sceen when you turn on/off the caps lock key is cute, but it has a tendancy to hang around all the time, even when the caps lock is turned off.  Is there a way of turning this feature off?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There's an option for that.
    Right click the desktop > Screen Resolution > Advanced Settings > On-Screen Display tab.
    I think the default may have been changed somewhere along the way, so a hotkey package update might also do the trick.

    Hi, my HP (Entertainment Notebook HP Pavillion dv7-4107sl) has a serious problem and has stopped working.
    The only signals of life are the Caps Lock (that flashing in loop), the fan and the CD player.

    The laptop returns to work, but after few hours the problem returns. I don't have any idea how to fix it.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Remap Caps Lock as gnu screen escape key

    anyone know how to do this?
    currently ive got Caps Lock remapped to some keycode in /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB
    i want to use it as the escape key for screen.
    adding it to .screenrc doesnt work.
    i was thinking that a macro or something that can just send C-a to screen when i push caps lock might work...?
    anyone have any thoughts?

    Look into loadkeys from the kbd package. I use it to exchange Escape/Caps_Lock outside of X.

  • SOLVED: Annoying icon of num/scroll/caps lock still on screen

    Hello everybody!
    I can't get rid of the Lenovo icon of num/scroll/caps lock whic appears when you press one of these keys. The problem shows up when I join to my other bigger monitor so the screen resolution gets bigger and the icon gets stucked in the bottom-right corner where was originally the end of previous smaller resolution (as you can see here on the screenshot):
    I'm desperate because I've already tried most of the tips which I could find on google. Like modifying the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\General\KeyIndication, disabling BTTray.exe etc.
    I have Lenovo Ideapad B560. I would rly appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!
    Edit: Problem solved. It wasn't any Lenovo utility but Genius Keyboard. So I have just unistalled the ioCenter software and icon finally disappeared.

  • Caps Lock flashing fix!

    Ok I have a HP dv6.
    It has had all the usual problems of heating etc. It finally died with the flashing caps lock. This indicated either a problem with the CPU or the motherboard.
    I had a CPU that fitted, so I tried that. No luck.
    With lots of reading, I found that with lots of thermal cycles, solder can change to a crystalline structure. The "blanket" fix was a strong indicator that it was a bad solder connection.
    Ok so how to fix it.
    It is called re flowing the solder. You can google it. It worked perfectly for me, so now I have a fully repaired laptop for no cost!
    Ok, how to do it.
    THIS MAY KILL YOUR MOTHERBOARD! But hay it is already dead, so why not try it. It worked for me!
    1 Remove your motherboard from your laptop.
    2 Remove all ram, CPU, wires, plastic pads,cooling fan and everything else.
    3 There are two chips that contact the heat transfer pipes. They are your target.
    4 Wrap your mother board in tin foil. Remove the foil from on top of the two chips.
    5 Make sure that only the two chips are uncovered. Everything else must be covered.
    6 Pre heat your oven to 200C yep you are going to re melt the solder on these chips.
    7 place in the oven for 9 minutes. Now this is the max that it took for me. I tried 8 minutes, and it did to work. 9 was the winner.
    8 After 9 minutes turn the oven off and open the door. Do not move, or bump the board. Just let it cool.
    9 Now reinstall the board.
    10 enjoy your laptop!
    It might me wise to keep an eye on things to make sure that it does not somehow burst into flames.
    Good luck. Hope it works for you as well as it did for me.

    I have seen this done using a heat gun on the chips also- even a hair dryer. Might be less risk to motherboard than full bake in oven. Anyway-whatever works,right?
    Kudos on your successful repair and for sharing!
