Laptop won't boot caps light and Num light blink

My Ts2-1375dx won't boot after I have shut it off and turned it back on. I get the cap & num lock lights blinking once. I remove the powercord, battery and all attached peripherals, hold the on button for 30 seconds reconnect the power and try booting again. Although this works (maybe after 1-3 tries) I don't believe that this is the way you should have to boot the computer. I also see lots of the same problem with the solution being the method I use. WHY IS THERE NO PERMANT FIX?!?!
This question was solved.

Please try understanding the root cause for the issue by understanding the LED blink codes from the following weblink:

Pavilion G2-b27SA Laptop Won't Boot - Fan Whirs and Hard Disk Light Comes On but Nothing Else

Hi
My Pavilion G2-b27SA laptop won't boot. The fan whirs, the hard disk and wirless lights come on but nothing happens on-screen and the fan goes quiet after a couple of seconds (to a low whir).
I've gone through and tried the solutions in this thread - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-e-g-Windows-8/Laptop-will-not-turn-on/td-p/102825 - with no luck. Specifically, I've tried a hard reset and hitting F10 when the laptop tries to boot. Neither has had any effect.
Is there anything else I can try to get the computer working again? If I take it to a laptop repair shop (I'm out of warranty) will they be able to do anything, or is it effectively dead now?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The laptop can always be fixed if you have a bottomless wallet. On a no-start with flashing lights it is likely the motherboard and a motherboard replacement if you have the shop buy the board and bill you for labor will be about $300 give or take 25%. Before we give up, it could be bad memory or a few other less expensive things. Assuming they do not charge too much just to diagnose it; take it to the shop.

Hi,
Please try a hard reset and see if it works.
1. Power off your laptop
2. Remove the a/c adapter, battery and everything that is attached to your laptop.
3. Hold the 'POWER 'button down on your laptop for about 10 seconds.
4. Plug in the a/c power supply (without battery) and power on.

My laptop won't boot and caps lock blinking continuously (1blink in 4 sec.)

Sir,
Today morning I turned on laptop but laptop won't boot and wireless button glowing continuously and also caps lock blinking continuously as 1 blink per 4 sec.

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.

Laptop won't boot up WITH PICTURE

Hello! I'm sorry if this has been asked before; I tried to search for words that might be related, and it returned way too many for me to read through, or to guess if they're having the same issue as I am.
I have a A505D-S6968 Satellite laptop. It is three years old, and I use it every day as I'm a graduate student. For the past couple days, I go to turn the laptop on, and it won't boot up. The power light is on, a bank of lights at the top near the base of the screen, a light near the bottom, and the charging lights on the lower right corner. The fan is running, and the CD/DVD drive makes a sound. However, that's where it stops. The screen doesn't display anything and there is no glow from it at all. The keyboard is supposed to light up, and it doesn't. The mousepad doesn't light up or work. So it seems like there's power being provided to it in some respects, as a few lights come on, the fan comes one, and the CD/DVD drive "checks".
Here is a picture of it misbehaving:
Any ideas as to what could be going on? I let it sit, turned completely off, all night, because I figured I'd just deal with it later. I had tried for an hour to get it to start and it wouldn't; it just sits like that indefinitely. But this morning, it booted up just fine.
Now I'm afraid to ever turn it off again!
Again, I apologize if this has been asked a million times, but I can't read all of the descriptions and try to guess if what they're describing is what is going on with mine. Any help or ideas are appreciated!
Thank you!
Grace & Peace,
Kristen

If it still doesn't work, it sounds like it may be due to hardware failure that would require servicing.

Hi,
First, 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 a full minute. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and see if the notebook will start.
If it still doesn't start, is there a sequence to the 'blinks' that you can match to the table below?

Hi. Are you sure this is a Linux-issue? Please try this: reboot the unit and press F12 several times when the Toshiba logo is shown. When the boot menu is shown try Caps and Num lock again.
Same issue or not?

HP laptop won't boot at all

My one and half year old Hp 2000 laptop won't boot at all. When I press the power button, it doesn't show any sign of life at all.
I have tried Hard test several times yet it didn't fix it.
Battery charges, power adapter working.
I have also tried to boot using the AC adapter alone yet my precious laptop isn't showing any sign of life.
Please how do I fix this? I need to do my assignment and prepare for my exams, and I can't afford a new laptop. Not when the current laptop is pretty new.
Please help me HP support.
Thank you in advance.

Hi @Chichiiii ,
Thank You for your inquiry.
I understand that when you power on your notebook it is unresponsive. You did state that the AC adapter is working and the battery is charging.
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Computer Does Not Start (Windows 8), which has multiple links to help you determine the issue.

Hi Willrobb1,
I understand your computer will not boot up. Restart your computer and keep press F9 to open the "Boot Menu" or "Boot Device Options". Press Enter to continue.
Here is a document on system restore if you need it. You can restore it to a previous point when it was working correctly.

Laptop won't boot beyond the screen showing "Tobshiba leading innovation"

I installed an antivirus recently and in its scan some viruses were found. Those viruses were deleted and now my laptop wont boot into windows. It just stays where "toshiba" logo is displayed. My laptop is running on windows 8.1. I have a recovery DVD, but the laptop won't boot from the DVD either. Is there a way to get my laptop to boot windows without doing a factory reset. Please help!!

Laptop won't boot; Black screen w/moveable cursor

Satellite A305-S6905
Current Situation: Laptop won’t boot-up; black screen with moveable mouse cursor, HHD indicator actively flashing.
I was attempting to upgrade from Vista to Win7-32bit-Ultimate. Kept receiving error messages regarding non-compatible files. Next the computer would not recognize the Multi-Drive (did not appear on the My Computer screen. Now all I get is the black screen. How can I restore?

BTW, to reboot this PC (Windows 7), all you need to do is pres ctr+alt+delete at the black screen, and it will do just that. But if you disconnected all usb drives, then you cannot use this shortcut. You need to just shut it down with the power button.

Laptop won't boot 10

So my Asus laptop won't boot up Windows 10 and I've tried to "Refresh" it but it won't work. It worked once after I installed it but I couldn't even access the App Store. Help!

Hi,
What is your current situation?
If Windows 10 has low performance on your laptop, you may take a check at the system requirements :

laptop won't boot, will not do a windows repair, received a hdd error 0303.

Hi,
The error code is a short Disk Self Test failure and would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced. This is also consistent with the start-up issue.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know - include the full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook - see Here for a further explanation.
Regards,
