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

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 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.

Laptop Won't Boot. Caps Lock Button Light Blinking

I just bought a HP Pavilion DM4-2015dx laptop a few days ago. Turning it on this morning, it won't boot and the Caps Lock light is blinking. I have searched the HP site and Google for a solution to the problem and have found nothing to tell me what the blinking light means or why it won't boot up. Does anyone have an idea of what the blinking light on the Caps Button means?

My laptop HP pavilion Dv6 - 7132TX had a problem of blank screen and caps lock key blinking. I bought the laptop on 28th Apr 2012 and just before completing a year, I was facing a problem of computer inadvertently not booting. It used to show black screen with wifi LED red, power button LED glowing, and caps lock key LED blinking. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&docname=c01443366 On going to the above link, I tried to notice the number of blinks of caps lock key LED.Found that the blink count was an endless loop of 2 LED blinks. On checking in the above link, found that 2 blinks meant the problem was BIOS corruption failure. LEDs blink 2 times BIOSBIOS corruption failure(as found in the table in the above link) So I went on and found another link to find the BIOS upgrade on the same page , where it read, Step 3: Find and download BIOS updates Then followed to the link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?swlinkmsg=100&cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c00042629&lc=en&product=4057208 to download the driver. Downloaded the BIOS latest driver and installed it. It gave the same problem while restarting the laptop which was required to complete the bios installation. Link for the BIOS installation: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp54501-55000/sp54629.exe However after several force shutdowns and reboots (since in my laptop the blank screen during bootup was inadvertent and random..) the installation could proceed and complete. After that voila.. Problem gone Hopefully it stays that way. Now next task on my mind is to fix the sleeping problem of my PC and the noise problem of the speakers. 1.Laptop does not sleep and goes into freeze mode with LEDS glowing and screen black.2.While the laptop speakers are on, they constantly make some background noise as if the speakers have a loose connection. However I got a clue that the problem is not with the connections but with the frequencies mismatch. Inherent problem of laptop architecture I suppose. However still wish to hear sounds clearly on my laptop. Had a good experience with HP with my earlier laptop from HP. However now things are changing I guess. Feel good that I could at least troubleshoot and save money. [Even gas is Rs. 84 per litre.] and more importantly time since I was working when I saw this problem and did not want to keep laptop powered on All the time just to avoid restart .

Hp probook 4420s does not start and continuously cap lock blinks

I have tried-------
1. Bios Recovery ( used windows key and B and power button)
2. changed the memory to another slot
3. Power button holding 3 times (15-20 sec) without connect AC & DC
Still remain the same problem:
Computer does not start and contineously blinking the cap lock
Note: Using Windows 7, when I updated then suddenly shut down the computer and does not start.

Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button
Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
Your notebook does not have Windows 8 installed, but almost everything in this troubleshooting document applies. Take a look at the blinking leds section. Blink codes are a diagnostic aid and the sequence of blinks repeat. There is a list which will tell you what the repeating blinks mean.

Pavilion G6-2264ca blank screen - BIOS corrupted?

Hello, I've been having problems with my G6, it's about a year old and suddenly the bottom half of the screen was pink and green colors for about a day, after that then whenever I booted it, the regular image would flash on the screen for a second and then go black, and now it just stays black. When I press the power button, the wifi and power LED's come on and I hear the DVD drive start up as normal, but I'm not sure if it goes beyond that because all I see is a black screen.
I tried:
-Hard reset
-Reseat RAM
-Unplug one stick/other stick/both sticks of RAM, unplug HDD, all of the above
-Win+B when booting to recover BIOS, nothing seems to happen but it does give me a 2 blink notification on my caps lock, which supposedly means a corrupted BIOS?
-Tried recovering BIOS via bootable flash drive (Trying both wincrisis and PheonixTool methods)
-Swapped motherboard out for one I bought online, STILL gives me the same problem and error code (2 blinks).
Could it be an extremely rare coincidence that both are corrupted, or do you think it's something else?
Help is appreciated!
(Or if anything, does anyone know how to view your whole hard-drive with another computer? I hooked it up to my desktop and I could only see Public, Default, and Admin under Users and they were all empty in both Windows and Linux, even when I tried to take ownership with windows!)

Hello derf321,
I see that you're having an issue with the notebook loading to a blank screen. I will try to help you with this.
Reading over your post, you've done the troubleshooting for beep/blink codes. It is possible that there is other faulty hardware.
See if this document can assist you at all:
Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.
If it cannot, your best option would be to contact support to see what options are available to you.

BIOS Corrupt

HP Pavilion dv5 1008CA; AMD Athon X2; ATI graphics card; VISTA. My daughters laptop which she gave to me with a problem to fix; it will not boot; black screen although all LED lights come on, fan runs and hard drive spins up. Two lights flash, NUM LOCK and CAPS LOCK flash twice every few seconds which according to the diagnostics is a corrupt BIOS. No solution is provided though. Since she was using it before this issue I am unable to provide any other information as to issues prior to this problem. I have been searching the Net for solutions since the laptop is a good unit except that you can't get it to boot. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi,
I think reset BIOS would help. Please remove the CMOS battery, wait for few minutes and put it back. Please find more info in this book (page 49).

Blanc screen at startup / Caps lock blinking 3 times HP Pavilion dv7

Hello,
Hope someone can help me out.
First we received SMART warnings but we were still able to start up Windows in safe mode (took about 15 minutes and the laptop was getting warm). We took the HDD out and connected it via USB to an other PC. We could not read the content and needed to format the disk... did NOT do that. We kept the HDD "origional".
We bought an Samsung EVO 850 250 Gb SSD for the laptop... as replacement for the corrupted one and to upgrade the system. The main battery was removed, adaptor was not plugged in for a couple of days. Today we received the new SSD and installed it... but... the laptop is not starting up anymore! The screen stays completely blank. The F12 is lighting orange and the CAPS LOCK is blinking 3 times.
We've read several articles on forums and tried various suggestions:
- Changed the BIOS battery;
- Several "hard resets":
. removing adaptor and main battery and pushed the power button for 15 seconds;
. Windows, B and power button at startup;
. pressing F8 while booting;
- build the original HDD back in;
- removed the memory and tried all banks in all slots;
- connected external monitor;
- startup via bootable USB stick;
- cleaned the cooler fans (with compressed air spray);
- tried an other AC adaptor;
- tried without the main battery;
- tried to startup with no memory, no BIOS battery and no HDD installed.
Doesn't matter what we tried... after trying every suggestion the screen stays blank and the CAPS LOCK is still blinking 3 times repeatedly.
Anyone any idea what ik can try further? In my perception the BIOS is not loading at all?!?!
Looking forward to read your suggestions! Thanks in advance

Hi there @BerDie13
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are getting a repeating pattern of three flashes from the LEDs. I am happy to help with this.
Check out this page under the section for flashing LEDs. In that you will find that three LED flashes indicates a memory problem.
Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps
Use the instructions on how to deal with that. I am a bit concerned that you have both a hard drive failure and a memory issue, but it is possible that the memory could have been disturbed when you were working with the hard drive. If the reseating of the memory does not help, I would try the memory in different slots and if you have more than one memory module try them one at a time in both slots to isolate which is the problem child. The worst case would be multiple bad memory modules and a defective set of sockets on the board.
Let me know what you find.
