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

  • 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.

    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. 
     

  • G62 fans run, black screen, blinking CAps Lock

    I went to turn on my G62 today and i heard the fan running and it tried to boot up but stopped. The screen was completely black and the caps lock key blinks steady one blink every like 5 seconds.
    It was running perfectly fine yesterday!
    Someone told me it sounds like a bios problem but when i searched the forum for a fix it said to start it up while holding the windows and B keys and turning it on. This didnt do anything and now i need a fix?
    Anyone that can help it would be appreciated greatly!

    Hard reset fixes issue.
    But still do it again as follows:
    1) Turn off laptop.
    2) Remove battery and AC plug.
    3) Press and hold Power button for 1 minute, do it thrice.
    4) Now put battery and plug AC.
    5) Now press power button.
    6) Go to BIOS settings and reset all.
    Above worked for me.

  • Dv3z black screen with caps lock and numlock led lights flashing

    dv3z boot with black screen and (screen) flashes every few seconds, cap and num lock led lights flashes every 2 seonds as well.  It boots eventually but takes forever.

    Hi,
    I your notebook still under warranty?  If it is, you will need to contact HP and arrange to have the notebook repaired under warranty.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
    If you're out of warranty, I would suggest getting an estimate ( and a confirmation of the diagnosis ) from a local computer repair shop.  If the actual processor chip is faulty, this is far easier to replace than say a fault with the graphics chip ( which usually means a new Motherboard ) and so may well be worth the expense.

  • Black screen with caps lock blinking

    I was using my laptop and it was turned on and after some other work I wanted to use my laptop, the screen was black and caps lock was blinkingI turned it off manualy and it was again doing this. Caps Lock blinks 2 times after a pause of 4 seconds continously.
    I tried reset and other things but its not showing anything. 

    Hi Nayj424,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your Compaq Presario CQ62-102TX Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore.
    Hope this is helpful.
    Thanks.

    Hi wasasa45 ,
    I am sorry to hear about this issue.
    At first, please try 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 start the notebook.
    If the above step does not help please refer to the follwing document:
    Computer does not start (Windows 7, Vista, XP): http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443371&cc=ad&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
    Please follow the steps in the section that says "Symptom: LEDs glow, fan noise is heard, but display is black or blank".
    If the above step does not make any difference, we will go ahead and reseat the Memory (RAM) and the Hard Drive (HDD) on the Notebook and see whether that makes a difference.
    Reseating RAM:
    First we will have to try reseating the RAM.  Your Notebook should have 2 RAM slots. If you have got a single RAM Module, you can try removing that from the existing slot and place it on the other one and see whether the Notebook turns ON after that. If you have got two Modules, you can try swapping them. If that too does not work, try turning ON the Notebook with only 1 Module inserted and also by changing the slot. You will have to work the permutations and see whether the Notebook turns ON. This is to understand whether the issue is with any of the RAM slots or the RAM module itself.
    Please find details on how to reseat and insert back the RAM from the following document:
    General document on Steps for Removing and Replacing Memory Modules:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00262554
    Reseating HDD
    We will reseat the Hard Drive cables and will put it back to its actual position.
    General document on Steps for Removing and Replacing the Hard Disk Drive: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00649950
    You just have to reseat the Hard Drive cable and then insert it back to its actual position. This is to ensure there is no loose connection or static electricity accumulation. Check whether the Notebook works properly after doing this. 
    I am waiting to hear back from you.

  • When Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash (-) stuck.

    when Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash and I think its the press any key screen but on a Mac its Just Flashing Dash .
    I press every button going and nothing happens.
    and my only option is to turn off the mac to boot back in OSX.
    MacBook trying to Install Windows XPSP3 disk.

    I too am having the same problem. I do not know about the host of this thread, but I have been using a brick and mortar version of XP SP2 stand alone so it is not bundled with a computer like Dell, HP, etc.
    I have run it before just fine but it was time to reformat the drive, 0'd everything out, reinstalled 10.5.2, upgraded everything, repaired permissions and them ran Boot Camp. Put in the XP disc and all I get is the flashing dash mark in the upper left hand corner. I actually have 2 legal versions of XP SP2 stand alone and the same result on both discs so it has to be something with the partioning? I also redid the partitioning at various sizes all with the same effect. No luck.
    Any new thoughts anyone?

  • IPhone 4s on screened Window Sill on rainy night - BLACK SCREEN, FLASH ON, VIBRATING, how do I revive?

    Lastnight I left my Iphone 4s CHARGING on a screened window sill.
    I wokeup at 8:30 and checked my phone to see that it was completely fine; went back to sleep until 10:30 and woke up to a black screen, flash on, and the phone frequently and randomly vibrating.The phone was not overly drenched. Only a couple raindrops on it, and around it.
    I immediately stuck it in a bag of rice.
    I need solutions! Any help is appreciated!
    How long should I keep it in the bag of rice?
    Is there a way to turn off my phone with a black screen?
    Thank you for your help!

    Just wind it by dryer and then don't try to switch it off because any electrical interchange cause damage. and then put it in a rise bucket. and in few hours it shuld be fine.. or take it to apple store if you are still in Warranty...

  • Black screen flashes before opening gmail

    Hi, recently I updated to Firefox 4.0. Since then, every time I visit gmail.com a black screen appears. After a split second it disappears again and the usual gmail log in screen shows up. Why is that and how can I get rid of that black screen flashing before gmail loads? Has it something to do with the ad-ons adblock, flashblock and noscript I installed? They never caused any trouble in Firefox 3.x

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Failure to Boot Up, HP dv4-1225dx BLACK SCREEN Blinking Caps/Num Lock

    HP,
    Since yesterday, my laptop has been unable to start up, at all. When I turn on the power button, the fans start to run, but there is no backlight on the monitor at all, just the audio system on the keyboard with continous blinking lights on both Caps Lock and Num Lock. These lights continue to blink forever until I am forced to shut the computer off.
    The HP model is Dv4-1225dx, was running Vista.
    Could I get some help to resolve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
     Although I hope you already resolved this issue I do have a temporary; possibly perminate solution. I read an article that sounds ridiculous, but it worked for me. Cover your pc with towels to block all air flow. Just leave the screen open so you can see it. MONITER THIS CLOSELY!! After 20 minutes or so it should turn on. Log in and back up what you can just in case. You also want to let the pc run a while to cool down. Shut down and let cool for at least an hour. Try to boot up. If you cant now repeat the above. It may take more than 1 try.
    Hope this helps someone. Please also remember, this isnt a perminate fix but its better than junking your pc!

  • Laptop blank screen flashing led lights

    The HP dv7 laptop blank/black screen with the continuously flashing CapsLk & Num Lock led lights is probably indicative of an overheated graphics processing unit (gpu) on the system/mother board. On the one that I am trying to repair it is an ATI gpu.  The gpu is built into the system/mother board.
    If laptop gpu is failing then the blinking diagnostic code of the CapsLk & Num lock led lights blinking once would seem to apply. Why even though led lights are flashing continuously? Because the laptop boot tries to load through the gpu via the cpu and fails which thereby triggers the one flashing light then it retries flashing the light again (and again and again continuously).  As other posters have commented HP did not seem to care about a design flaw so they hesitate and ignore that fact – they will often tell you that the system/mother board needs replacement. As a matter of record you can see another thread (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Blinking-caps-and-num-lock-lights/m-p/29560#M3853) that has 19 pages of posts with over 230,00 views – unfortunately it has been deemed read only by the HP forum now.
    I would refrain from an exact duplicate replacement motherboard without proof that the gpu has been corrected on the replacement board.  Ebay has a number of replacement system/mother boards that are less than the over $300 price that HP has quoted for the repair.  There has even been a listing for an upgraded board that deals specifically with the gpu issue.  If the laptop has 17” monitor like the dv7 it may be very well worth replacing the system/mother board.

    I have a little more to add
    If I turn it on normally, nothing happens on the memory stick (no lights or anything)

  • 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!!
