No Display After Reboot - Flashed with HP Software BIOS Update for HP Pro 4445s Notebook

Hello,
I am in need of your help, expertise and assistance for I really need to use my one and only laptop for work here at home.
I installed an HP provided software for BIOS update. I was processed, save the current file system and continued with the flashing/updating the BIOS, successfully and a countdown should up to reboot the unit. When the unit rebooted, it now shows no display and a blinking caps lock led indicator. The power led button indicator is working while the caps lock led indicator is blinking and it takes 15-20 minutes then the laptop/notebook fan functions (I can here by the sound) but still no display.
I've tried the troubleshooting steps and procedures, pressing the Window + B keys and the power button yet no luck. Tried as well with the USB fat32 formatted with the F0.1 BIOS inside but still no luck. I've already called HP Tech Support for ProBook and followed the instructions but still no luck. Last step that she has informed me, to try with an external display using the the vga/d-sub port on the notebook/laptop and to check if it will display on the external monitor. Did not try this yet for I don't have any nor spare external monitor to use.
Any help and other set of instructions, fingers-crossed to fix this problem, would be greatly and much appreciate.
Thank you and Best of All Success with your opinions.

  • MSI 648 Max with AGP X8 - BIOS update

    I have replaced my old AGP card with Radeon 9550 256MB for use with my new Dell 20" WS monitor.
    Every time, after starting or during 3DMark03, it crashed back to desktop and sometimes retarting my pc.  I try ram settings, aperature etc with no luck.  My pc has TrueBlue 480 watt PSU and the voltage reading is good.
    In the end, I searched this forum and found out it was the problem with AGP X8 so I changed it to AGP X4 via ATI control panel, my pc went through 3Dmark03 with no problems at all.  AGP X4 works flawless.
    Regarding BIOS - my motherboard is SIS 648 MAX-L HT ready (Hyper-threading) and its latest BIOS version is v3.1.  I'm just wondering that is my board exactly the same as non-HT 648 MAX board physically?  Since they use same chipset with same layout and also because I noticed the BIOS update for non-HT version is different with v1.5 and has the fix for Radeon 9700 problem which could be related to my problem.  Since I'm using Pentium 4 2.53Ghz, Hyper-threading is a useless feature, could I flash my board with this BIOS?
    Thanks in advance

    then leave it at that then. the actual real-life performance difference between 4X and 8X is negligible
    Thanks, just asking...I guess I answered my own question!

  • Need help finding a BIOS flash tool and BIOS updates for HP Compaq nc8230 running Windows 7

    I put together this laptop. It didnt come with a hardrive, and basically I installed everything from the ground up.
    It is an HP Compaq nc8230, IDE Hard drive, Windows 7 32 bit. The BIOS on it is the original one. I've searched far and wide, but to no avail, it seems there's zero support for this model anymore.
          Basically it was never intended to go beyond Vista, back in 2004 when this model was introduced.
       The reason I am searching for some kind of BIOS update, whether it is BIOS or SMBios is to get the ACPI driver to recognize the primary laptop battery. This is crucial: it only sees both as the travel battery. Other than that, all else is fine.

    Hi:
    Here is the latest BIOS update for your notebook.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
    You cannot use the windows based flash because you installed windows 7, so I provided the link to the DOS based flash.
    You need to use a USB floppy drive for this update.
    Oh, and the card reader won't work unless you install this updated driver which is not on your PC's support and driver page.

  • How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    The same way it was done in every previous version.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
    Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
    Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

    I'm thinking about getting an i pod touch for my daughter. If I get the 4th generation i pod, is it compatible with the ios 7 updates for i phones as far as if she wants to imessage or face time with me?

    The 4G can not run IOS-7.  "6" is the highest that it can go.  You need the 5G for IOS-7.
    However, that won't affect her ability to use iMessage and FaceTime.

  • Error can't open display after reboot

    Hi,
    I encounter this problem :
    I just install SSGD 4.2 on Solaris 10 01/06 T2000 server. After installation I can connect to the SSGD using browser from my notebook, and can try the various demo (dtterm, xclock etc)
    I reboot the Solaris 10 OS.
    After reboot I tried to login again via browser in my notebook and try to run the various demo.
    I can login, but almost all the demo failed to execute, the X applications give error "can't open display:" with no hostname following the error.
    The only demo still runs is the vt420 demo
    Anybody can help me to point out what causes the problem ? I am trying to demo this SSGD software to a customer.
    Regards
    Adrianus B. Kurnadi

    I've noticed this as well, under Solaris 10 FCS, Solaris 10 U1, and Solaris Express nv_39.
    However, I have tried it out under S8 02/04, and S9 09/04 and I do not have this problem after rebooting the host at all.
    For the hell of it, I (rather badly) converted the S89/S90 startup scripts to be SMF manifests with S90Tarantella having a dependancy on tS89TarantellaWebServer as I thought perhaps there was a strange issue with the tta process starting before the web service had fully started (beats me why it would matter, ends up it didn't) - as my test S10 host is a slow Netra T1.
    I'd be interested to know what the difference is between it being started up via an rc2.d script and the root user logging into the system console running /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella start. I haven't even bothered starting to try to observe the environment differences between startup via SMF in S10 and init.d in S8.

  • Dead dv6-7214 with MSATA C DRIVE after hp support assistant loaded new bios update. 5-18-13

    I postponed a bios update because that makes me nervous. Apparently for good reason.
    Today I let the nag proceed with bios update on my dv6-7214 running win8.
    It said it was doing a system restore point, but that seems to have been useless.
    The notebook had a black screen after an hour of "rebooting", so I powered down.
    Power on still black screen.
    No response to any keys prerssed after power on, such as esc key.
    I read several posts regarding needing to roll back bios updates, which doesn't say much for HP
    that this is a recurring problem.
    I am NOT getting a blue screen, not getting anything at all.
    Is there a way to roll back a bios short of shipping it back to HP?
    I did not write down the bios version, just trusted it was needed. Wont be letting hp support assistant to run anything else.
    I guess i will uninstall HP support assistant, if i ever get my computer back to the point it can turn on.
    Cant think of any software bug as bad as the one loaded by hp into my bios.
    Anyone? How do a reset the bios with a totally unresponsive notebook?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Thanks chryig, but no that did not work.
    Hp support emailed the same solution.
    The dv6-7214 has an msata slot, which can be configured as C drive, which I did with an msata ssd.
    The drive which came with the laptop was in the sata slot, as usual, but was not C drive.
    I found someone posting identical problem, black screen, (not blue screen) no error messages, just bricked.
    They also has an SSD C drive.
    I tried temporarily moving the msata to the sata slot (with an adapter). This allowed the bios to complete
    its update.
    So it isnt the Bios that is broken, but the Software to perform bios update is broken.
    Update (bios) fails if the C drive is anywhere but the sata slot (or perhaps the c drive must be drive 0).
    Hopefully HP will fix this problem. Many HP laptops are sold "upgraded" with additional disk via
    value added reseller. Since there are only 2 sata slots and 1 msata slot the C drive can be in, it
    should be possible for the update bios software to handle this small number of possibilities.

  • Adobe Reader Update for MacBook Pro with Retina Display

    I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display and noticed when I downloaded Adobe Reader that it had not yet been updated to support the new Retina Display. If I remember correctly, it was announced that Adobe Photshop has been updated to support the new display. Will there also be an update for Reader any time soon?

    Hi,
    Reader and Acrobat XI will support Retina display for both the user interface and document rendering with the September update.
    For now, the UI is Retina capable but the document content is still rendered at a lower resolution.
    Few more weeks to go
    Best,

  • Software installer update caused macbook pro/snow leopard to not start

    I ran the recent software installer update; since then my macbook pro--running 10.6.8--won't get past the blue screen.  i tried verifying/repairing permissions and even reinstalling from the disk but it tells me simply that reinstalling from the disk cannot be done.
    The only other relevant information I can think to share is the fact that my harddrive is partitioned with bootcamp, running Win7 64-bit.
    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

    Had the same problem with my Early 2006 Core Duo iMac and Starting up in Safe Mode ended up being the fix.
    see > Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    1. Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    2. Press the power button.
    3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    In this case starting up into Safe Mode will take a lot longer than normal, so be patient and let it finish uninterrupted.
    Likewise after Safe Mode, starting up into normal mode is also going to take a lot longer than normal, so once again be patient and let it finish uninterrupted.

  • Issue with iTunes view for podcasts with the latest iOS update (for my Macbook Air, Sept 21, 2013)

    I just got the latest update for iOS for my Macbook Air - and now all of my previously deleted podcast episodes are showing up as available for download from the cloud - which is clogging up my iTunes display.  How can I get these previously downloaded, listened to, and deleted episodes off of my podcast view/list?

    "Not only did it download a new version of itunes, but it also downloaded MS Word updates, and other software that required updating."
    MS Word is not an Apple product so it could not've downloaded with all the Apple software updates.
    "I clicked File > Check for Updates"
    What program were you running to do that?
    In any case boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Uility.

  • How can I get my Bokmarks back after losing them when I had an update for an add on?

    After I installed an update for an add on, I opened Firefox and I found that even though all of the Folders were still there, under Bookmarks, all of the bookmarks were gone. Is there any way that I can get them back?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
