Try reviewing this post to see if any of the information in it helps you as this case sounds very similar. The thread also has a link to a YouTube video that worked for someone.

Also, did you try the two methods in this document exactly as they are outlined? As long as there is no underlying hardware issue, it should work.

You mentioned you tried the pen drive method and it did not work. What exactly did not work about it? Any error messages? What were the exact steps taken?

HP Pavilion dv6-7010us BIOS corrupted

Hello,
I have an HP Pavilion dv6-7010us laptop that I bought about 3 months ago. Two weeks ago, I was gifted a Windows 8 OS and wanted to upgrade my OS. As I wanted to change the boot order in setup, I handed the laptop to my brother who went on flashing the BIOS in my absence.
He later on put off the laptop while still in the process of flashing the BIOS. Now, when I put it on, the screen remains black and the caps lock key keeps flashing; the WiFi key also turns amber as the power is on.
I have tried tried the hard reset in vain without any results. I read in some forum some crisis recovery of corrupted BIOS and downloaded the latest BIOS update for my laptop model.
My problem however is that, while the possible solutions talk about Winflash and some .fd or .bin file, I could not get any of those files. When I extracted the BIOS file, it gives me an InsydeFlash utility and some .dll files but no .fd file.
Can someone help me flash my BIOS while the laptop boot always fails?
Thanks

Try the process described here:

HP pavilion dv6 restoration incomplete after recovery

I recently try to facotry reset my Hp pavilion dv6 using the recovery usb I make with the HP program when I brought this laptop, but it said "restoration incomplete".
I have ran the hard drive check and mem test at the BIOS and there isnt any problem. I also did a full format on the hard drive and it works. So I dont think there are any bad sector on hard drive.
I did factory reset, miniimze windows install...all the option I can had on the recovery problem but It doesnt work.
Once It finish the installation and laptop is restart, it automatically boot into the HP recovery program and said "restoration incomplete".
I am wondering how can I find my license product key so I can install a windows 7 or any other solution?
Thank you

Sorry no solution for you but I to have a DV6 that no longer allows the DVD drive, bluetooth, web cam, wi-di and probably a load of other things to work to work. I've never been able to make back ups of my settings so like you want to start again. Please HP answer this question as I'd love to try Windows 7 also. P.s. never had so much trouble with a laptop!!!! Runs hot, can't system restore, can't use the simple things I'm used to on any other laptop!!

Pavilion dv6 wont start after factory recovery.

Hello,
I made factory reset using HP recovery manager ( try both: clean copy or factory default copy with software), and the process finish ok. But after restart windows cant start and stuck on windows logo, if I try safe mode, it stops at message: "You cannot finish the instalation in safe mode restart the PC and finish the installation" . It seems that the "first time use" installation process is corrupted. The HDD and memory tests finish without error. Also tried the Hard reset (Unplug the AC remove the battery and hold power on for 30 sec.) but did not help.
Thanks for help.

Hp pavilion dv6-2115sv - bios corruption

Hello,
i have a hp pavillion dv6-2115sv notebook and it deos not start, i have a black screen, caps lock and num lock blink twince.
- I tried disconecting the battery and hold down the power button for 1 min, no change.
- remove bio battery, no change,
- try to restore bios from hp tools partition (usb), hold down win+b, laptop bip once and shut down.
- i have put the .fd bios file on usb stick, and even rename it to .bin, no change.
So the laptop is still dead, if you have any advice please help.

Used or New? You can find them over ebay, if I were you though, I would just look into an upgrade I see laptops like yours sell for around $120-140 on ebay all the time! If I were you I would look into an intel core i5 laptop I say i5 because they have just about as many features (depending on which processor) as the i7's! Plus less heat produced than an i7. Well then again, I guess it really depends on what you are doing with your laptop, if you only use it for browsing and nothing like video or photo editing than you could just go for a lower end Also, I forgot to ask, how do you know your motherboard is toast? You may be able to fix it on your own! That is if it actually is a motherboard issue...

HP Pavilion dv6 1328sl, bios says : hard disk not exist !

Good morning,
the bios says that the hard disk not exist. Still, if I boot the PC from CD with Linux, the files on the disk c can be seen .. I deleted the partition but the problem remains!
does anyone know how to access the advanced menu of the bios? It's an "Insyde" f36. I want to see if there is something wrong option ...
Thanx

Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on

HP Pavilion dv6-3071tx bios freezes after bios flash

I updated my BIOs to http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55299.exe
Now it freezes at the BIOs on boot. I think it's due to a bad flash. I want to reflash it and I've followed the instructions where I place the BIOS file 01448F29.bin onto a usb stick named HP_TOOLS and held down Windows Key + B, however it just stays on a black screen.
How can I flash the BIOs again?

Hi
I have restored(F11) my laptop to out-of-box factory restore, after fresh installation laptop got rebooted . After entering the system name, location, date.. etc. Before the desktop is loading for the first time i got the error,
' To run this application, you first must install one of the following version of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727
Conatct your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of .NET Framework'
After clicking OK on the error window desktop loaded with classic theme and explorer.exe was not working.. i am unable to open My computer, there is no IE, on the bottom of the desktop it was written as the copy of windows is not genuine.
Operationg system is windows 7 Home premium
I have restored my laptop to out-of-box 6 months before i did not face any issues.
Please Please some body suggest me !!!

Have you tried to restore it again since then? It sounds like something went wrong during the installation and not all of the required files were installed correctly. If that doesn't work, you may want to contact HP and have them send you the recovery discs.

Hi @Premlez
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I am happy to help you with your data. Assuming that your hard drive is both functional and readable, then there are a few ways that you can get you information copied.
Here is a page from wikiHow that shows several ways you can do that. Do not let the title worry you, it is just as applicable to your current situation. You want to do a recovery to repair your notebook before the repair which is the smart thing to do. If the computer will not start properly, then for now this is how you would try to backup the data.
How to Recover Data from the Hard Drive of a Dead Laptop
Since you will need to take the drive out of the notebook for these methods , here is the service and maintenance manual to show you how.

DV6-6000 LF372AV - Fails BIOS recovery

I have a DV6-6000 Prod #LF372AV where the BIOS became corrupted. Didn't attempt update, just failed out of the blue.
First symptom is turn on PC, hear fan come on then immediately reboots. Stuck in this cycle of rebooting forever. With no error codes (such as not even Caps Lock LED blink) I guessed corrupted BIOS.
I tried the Windows+B, but I've wiped this harddrive previously and the BIOS recovery partion was gone.
So, I downloaded and ran the HP UEFI Support Environment Softpaq as directed here:
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02693833.
This partially worked. With a Recovery BIOS loaded on the the USB flash drive, I can hold Windows+B at power up and BIOS loads off the USB key. However, it is NOT replacing the corrupted BIOS on the laptop.
According to the instructions, once the temporary BIOS is installed, a reboot should automatically occur. Instead, NOW it stays on (no more spontaneous reboot cycle) and I get a 2 blink error code out of the Caps Lock LED. It seems that the temporary BIOS loads into BIOS memory, but the stored BIOS itself cannot be overwritten. As I stated earlier, if I reboot, I'm back to the original condition.
So, it appears that the BIOS storage is bad. ???
Even if that is the case, I don't understand why boot into BIOS stops at the error indicating BIOS is corrupted. Obviously the mem copy of BIOS run off the USB flash drive is "more functioning" than the stored BIOS, but I still can't get far enough to get to the BIOS editor or any BIOS update utility.
I tried a second method. I downloaded the latest BIOS for this model laptop from HP support. Then I extracted it and ran the updater. It extracted an even newer version of the BIOS recovery tool onto my flash drive. This had the exact same results as the UEFI Support Environment version of BIOS. Therefore, two different versions of BIOS have failed to repair the corrupted BIOS and have failed to get me past the caps lock LED blinking twice.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi
Workaround:
There are few steps that has worked for few but not always..
Restart and tap F2. F2 will show an option “BIOS Management” . Select BIOS Management and then select “Roll Over to the previous BIOS”
BIOS Management option will not be available if the system do not have HP_Tools partition installed or if it is deleted.
Fix if BIOS Management is not available
i)                    Press and Hold the Windows Key and B key at the same time when the system is turned off or follow the steps from this link: Recovering the BIOS using key press combination
ii)                 Shutdown the Notebook. Remove the Hard Drive and then turn the computer ON and tap F10 to load BIOS. If it loads BIOS then it should rollback to previous BIOS or it might show a black screen. Just leave the system ON for about 2-3 mins and turn it on with the hard drive and check.
Let us know how it goes!

USB ports died after BIOS update on Pavilion dv6

I have a Pavilion dv6-03013cl running Windows 7 64-bit. Bought six months ago, and all was fine until this morning.
The HP support assist software told me to update the BIOS, which I did. And then all the USB ports stopped working. In Device Manager, it shows that all have a yellow triangle w/exclamation point. I've got two USB hubs, and into them are two printers, wireless mouse & keyboard, flash drives, and blue tooth adapter.
I just spent two hours on the phone with tech support in India, and he walked me through several possible fixes. System Restore does not work -- no matter what restore point I try, it hangs, taking hours (he said it should take no more than 10 minutes). Through all of this (and the following) all the USB hubs and devices were unplugged. Each step I would try just the flash drive (which works fine in the laptop on my other desk).
Tried uninstalling all the USB ports from Device Manager; that didn't help.
Tried Recovery Manager, but the USB was not on the list.
Tried rebooting hitting F8 to "last known good configuration", which didn't help.
Tried downloading BIOS from HP site, which didn't work.
Finally he told me the only solution is System Recovery, which will send me back to factory settings; meaning I'd need to reinstall all software and data files. I really do not want to do that.
Any suggestions for me would be much appreciated.

i have the same problem and found this on another site
so this is what we get for trying to be responsible and updating.....

Hp pavilion dv6 recovery fails

hey everyone first post on the forum
i have an hp pavilion dv6 that came with 64 bit windows 7 home premium installed. i tried to dual boot Ubuntu with it and ended up overwriting windows. lots more story but i ended up calling hp and ordering recovery discs for my laptop. i then zeroed my hard drive and ran the 3 recovery discs. it prompted my supplemental disc which I inserted. all went well until the "setting up for first use"screen appeared. hp software began installing stuff the during the drivers part it comes up with recovery failed. i ran without the supplemental disc and it did the same thing. someone please help

Hi,
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 character Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around.
Create a retail installation disc yourself - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same as the version you currently have ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Any additional drivers you may need can be found starting Here.
