Hp g62 flashing caps lock

Hi folks!
I have a g62-339wm laptop that I purchased about a year ago and out of the blue it will not boot or even post anymore. Screen is blank also, all it does is the caps lock led flashes once every 5 seconds. No screen or beeps the fan turns on tho:/
I've searched for this problem and all I can find is issues when the caps lock and number lock both flash at the same time not just the caps lock.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

Pavilion dv6-3040sa, black screen, flashing caps lock

Hey all, In need of some help for a friend, her laptop has had this issue for a while now and only just come to me for help. Her HP Pavilion DV6-3040SA has an odd issue with it, if you power it up the display doesn't come on and the caps lock just flashes, it will continue to flash until the laptop is turned off. On the help section a flashing caps lock does not refer to any particular error. I've reseated RAM, tried hard resetting, reseated the CPU and it managed to power up, then after it was turned off, it wouldn't power up again and had the same issue, after playing with it some more it powered up and worked for 2 days, when it promptly stopped working again. Any reason for this issue?

Processor failures can be have inconsistently. I have seen processor failures start with 1-2 second hangs in the OS to working one day and not at all the next.
The blinking code you have desribed is a beep code of one. Review the following table found here.
Caps Lock/Num Lock
1
CPU
CPU not functional
Reseat replace CPU.
Service
Caps Lock/Num Lock
2
BIOS
BIOS corruption failure
Restore BIOS from onboard backup (jumpers)
Service
Caps Lock/Num Lock
3
Memory
Memory module error not functional
Reseat memory modules (see next section).
Test memory from UEFI or BIOS.
Replace bad memory modules.
Service
Caps Lock/Num Lock
4
Graphics

Caps Lock/Num Lock
5
System board
General system board failure

6
BIOS
BIOS authentication failure
Restore BIOS from onboard backup (jumpers)

The options for a blink code of 1 is to reseat the CPU as you have already done or to replace the processor. Since the issue returns after reseating the CPU, it looks like the CPU needs to be replaced. Sorry.

Laptop Black screen flashing Caps Lock

Hello. I have a HP ENVY 17-j130ea which i purchased a couple of weeks ago and decided to put a mSATA SSD in there for the cache drive.
I installed the mSATA drive, but when i put it back together i forgot to put the HDD in.
When I turned it on it came up with a message saying there was no OS installed then the screen went blank.
Now when i try to turn it on with or without the mSATA or HDD in, the screen stays blank and the caps lock blinks twice every three seconds.
I have tried leaving it for 5 minutes, I have unplugged it, taken the battery out and held the power button down for 1 minute, I have made a bios recovery key and turned it on with the 'Windows' and 'B' button held down and it does the exact same thing every time.
TLDR; I put a mSATA drive in my laptop and it is giving me a BIOS error and no matter what I do, I am unable to fix it.

I have a little more to add
If I turn it on normally, nothing happens on the memory stick (no lights or anything)
If I turn it on while holding down Windows and B, the memory stick turns on after about 15-20 seconds, the light flashes for about 5 seconds then it stops flashing, it just sits on a solid light.
Its almost as if it is searching the memory stick for the files but fails to find them.
I used sp65000.exe to create the recovery stick

Flashing Caps Lock Code

What does the Caps Lock Light flashing four times then pausing mean. I have a HP Pavilion du7-1243d. The computer will not continue to start up and the screen remains black. I have only tried a hard reset at this point.
Thanks

You can try a ahard reset - remove battery and AC adptor - hold power down for 20 secs - release and then reinsert battery and AC and try again,

DV4 flashing caps lock and num lock lights

My laptop, an HP Pavilion DV4-2040US, has stopped booting up recently. The day before this problem come about I was using the laptop perfectly fine. I then went one day without using. When I turn on the laptop it booted up but nothing showed up on the screen. Then the CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK lights started to blink on and off.
I did some researching about the blinking lights and what they mean but I don't think mine is listed on there. It says the pattern will repeat a couple of times then shut off, but mine doesn't. The pattern is the CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK both blink once every 3 seconds (about) and keeps blinking every 3 seconds forever. The only time they stop blinking is when I shut I down by holding the power button on the laptop.
I've tried disconnecting everything and holding for 15 seconds and even tried holding it for 30 seconds and that still didn't fix the problem. I called HP support and the guy who I talked to told me it sounded like a motherboard issue, but he wasn't sure exactly and told me to ask here for help.
If it matters, I can hear the fan turn on for about 2 seconds then stop. Also all the touch sensitive buttons light up too$

Please, someone, anyone help me. I am having this exact same problem as we speak It happened after i put the laptop to sleep overnight. The LEDs for capslock and numlock blink consistently but slowly-approximatelt 2-3 seconds. When started up, i hear the fan come on for maybe a second or two and then comes off.I've tried all the mentioned solutions - i removed the battery for a while and put it back in-i tried the four arrows-i tried started up with AC adapted but without battery - and still no fix. What i am worried about is the documents and files on the laptop. Are they recoverable? Please help me on this someone. Please. Thank You.

G62 B13SA Caps lock light

Ive had this laptop for 2 months so far and it has been great but today, suddenly without any reason, the little light that comes on for the caps lock has stopped working. Any advice>?

I assume caps lock actually works, just the light does not?
Most likely the light had failed, All you could do to dignose it is to try a replacement keyboard.

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!

I suddenly have two flashing lights on my keyboard by the caps lock key and over the end/pg up key.

I encountered a problem waking my laptop (Pavilion dv7-1270us) this morning. At first it would not wake up and had to do a hard reboot. Now I have two flashing lights on the keyboard -the caps lock light and the one over the end/pg up keys over the number pad. I have run several diagnostics and cannot find an answer as to what this is.

Hp g62 Black screen caps lock on and wifi button on

Hello,
My friend is having a problem with his laptop hp g62 which is 1 1/2 years old. This happened out of no where and have no idea why. Here is what happens: We power it up, fans turns on, caps lock stays on and Screen stays blank. Again we have no clue why this is happening. Any help will be apreciated.

Hi,
It's always worth trying 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 see if the notebook will start.

Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook - once-flashing leds @ caps lock and scroll keys @ start-up

My HP Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook runs Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 1 for 64x-based systems.
Recently, when I turn it on, the led lights @ the caps lock and scroll keys repeatedly flash once.
I'm not sure what, if anything, happened prior to this starting. It's possible that there was a power surge when it was shut off, or it may be related to doing a McAfee virus scan or installing the latest version of a software, e.g., Adobe Reader.
I was able to use my System Recovery disks to reinstall the Vista software, thinking this might "kickstart" my computer into working, e.g., as part of the restart process. After the reinstallation, I was able to use my computer, although the led lights continued to flash. However, once I shut down my computer, I have been unable to restart it. The leds continue to flash upon start-up, and I have not been successful in again reinstalling the Vista software. (I thought if could get my computer to work again that way, it might stay accessible if I used hiberate mode instead of shutting it down.)
The computer's about 4-1/2 years old. The screen has a short of some kind (only turning on when the screen is low to the keyboard, so I use an external monitor.

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.

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.
