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 dv6-2115sv - 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...

Pavilion dv6-7010us black screen, caps lock blinking indefinitely and orange wifi light

The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6-7010us resently installed windows 8.1 pro, 8gb ddr3 (4gbx2), 320gb hdd (not the original hdd)
i was giving a normal maintenance to the laptop to remove the dust, nothing of the other world, the machine where functioning pretty well 'till this moment, i turn on the laptop and i see the caps lock blinking at 1sec intervals and the wifi light in orange not blinking just led on when i turn on (NOT NUM LOCK LIGHT ON), and this is it, nothing more, i dont know what to do, i use the WINDOWS KEY + B to reset the BIOS and nothing, i leave the power botton hold for a minute without the battery nor the power source, and plug the cable and turn on again without the battery and nothing, also where testing changing the memory from slots i have 2 memories of 4gb and nothing, anybody can tell me any combination of keys to resolve this that i don't use yet?

What did the normal maintenance include-any disassembly? I assume the laptop is still under warranty?

HP Pavilion dv6-7010us Entertainment Notebook PC

My motheroarbd went out on my DV6 7010.
I had to wait awhile before I could get another MB so used the HD from it for another computer (HPG-60)
Now I am putting it back in my DV6 7010US.
The problem is it seems that the windows from my other computer is on this.
I am on it writing this (DV6 7010us) so can get online etc, but I wanted to re-install the oporiginal software that came with this computer.
I can't do a recover due to the stuff from the other puter being on the HD now.
I have a recovery disc set but thinks its for the other computer.
I have tried Windows and HP Updates, but still doesnt seem to reload.
I tried to get the website to auto detect and it said it couldnt detect this computer.
So no sure what to do. Am I going to have to order another set of discs, or do the discs I have work for almost all the HP laptops? The driver disc also, is it specific to a model or just general drivers?
I am downloading and installing all the drivers I can from HP driver download, but it still is not going back to the way it was.
What can I do?

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.
http://goo.gl/bVrAD
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.
http://goo.gl/WQb43
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?

Pavillion DV6 2020sa bios corrupt, wont take recovery. please help.

hi, thanks to anyone that has any input on this problem its much appriciated,
I am looking at my brothers laptop, pavillion DV6 2020sa he had a virus lock the screen, he held the power button to switch it off, upon reboot he gets the blank screen and flashing leds (2 flashes) upon lookin up it says bios corrupt, i have downloaded the bios from HP tis 3635.bin and have put in on a USB drive, the sticker under the battery also says 3635, so im confident i have the right one.
I then hold the win + B button and then power, it starts, and shortly after the USB stick light up and flashes, then stops, then flashes again, at that point i get 6 beeps, then silence, then i get 5 slow beeps, i have read this is meant to happen, but then its meant to resart, and this is the bit that dont happen, it dont do anything, when i restart it, it just does the same flashing lights.
am i doing something wrong, or something im missing.
Thanks again for any help.
Jamie.

You will need an eeprom programmer to reprogram a new BIOS chip with a fresh BIOS file. It takes a special hot air tool to successsfully remove and replace a notebook BIOS chip. This is not just normal soldering. This is what real electronics technicians and workers at an electronics R&D lab and workers on the assembly line at manufacturer do. Unless you just happen to be an electronics enthusiast or engineer, and I am guessing you are not since you asked these questions, this may be out of your league. If you feel adventurous and have your brother's permission to use his notebook as a guinea pig...go for it! It is not as easy as the guy in the video made it look. He is a trained technician and does it for a living.

HP Pavilion p7 1040L bios corrupted

My PC is an HP Pavilion p7 1040L.
I updated the bios on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but my PC froze for a long time and I had to shut it down.
The bios file was downloaded from here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-102192-1&cc=id&dlc=en&lc=en...
When I turned the PC on, there was just 8 times beeps with orange flashing power button and no video signal. After 8 beeps, the PC was still on and power button turn blue but there was still no activity and blank screen.
From the documentation I know that the bios has been corrupted.
I have tried the boot block recovery using USB flash drive with several rom names like HPBIOS.ROM, AMIBOOT.ROM, HPBIOS.BIN, etc. but the flash drive only accessed for several seconds but then no activity. The rom file I used was the file from bios update since I don't have the current bios.
Please help.

I see that this model first introduced in June of 2011 - so it should still be in normal warranty.
I could contact support for your country and request a service event be scheduled to get it repaired - this likely needs a motherboard replacement.

Pavilion g6-1180sa Bios corrupted

Hi,
Yesterday I was using my laptop and I was working on battery. I was checking a setting about boot order in the bios and I restarted my computer, then the computer stop working. NOw it seems as the BIOS is corrupted. I tried to boot it up with a cd and with a usb., I use the key Win+B and that wouldnt work to make the computer boot from the cd.
Can Anybody please help me? Is there any specific key combination to make it to work? or when turning it on?
My computer is less than 1 year but I bought it in Ireland and now I leave in Belgium.
Thank you very much!

No problem. Aren't you a lucky devil !
I do suggest that you go immediately to the HP web support portal for your notebook. Download the UEFI environment executable. Follow the instructions and install it.
UEFI does give you a way to back out of a bad BIOS update with a rollback function unlike earlier notebook BIOS setups which do not.

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?

HP Pavilion dv6-6023tx Entertainment Notebook PC Will not start up. Suspect BIOS error.

Hi guys,
Was recently using my HP Pavilion dv6-6023tx Entertainment Notebook PC and the next day went to use it and the computer would not boot. Turns on and I get a black screen with the capslock light flashing at me. It flashes twice which is why I suspect I have a Bios error. I have tried flashing the bios but cannot get the computer to flash. Maybe I am flashing the computer the wrong way.
Can someone please provide there expertise and the proper way to flash this type of computer.
Thanks for the help in advance.
- Ben.

Hi xdfrightener,
Welcome to the HP Community! You are correct that two flashes indicates a BIOS corruption. The only thing that I can recommend is doing a Restore of the BIOS. How long have you had the notebook for?
