Pavilion dv7-1245dx caps light and num lock light blink

Got a Hp pavilion dv7-1245dx. When going to start the computer after hitting the power button the all the lights come on on the volume bar, the fan runs and then the caps light and the num lock light start blinking. I can tell if there is a specific number of blinks in a sequence or if it is just one blink repeatedly. This computer is less than 2 yrs old. Please help

I have already tried all the powering down options and nothing is helping. I really need this thing!

Blinking caps and num lock lights

Opened up the lid on sleeping laptop and had nothing but a blank screen and blinking caps and num lock lights. I finally got vista restarted after turning it off and on a couple of times. Everything seems to be working, however the caps and num lock lights are still blinking every 2 seconds. Any thoughts on what is causing this?

Hello,
The blinking caps and numlock are a diagnostic feature of the Dv7 Notebook ( and others ). Depending on the combination it can be a number of different symptoms. They can be as minor as the battery having an insuficient charge or as serious as a CPU failure. I would recommend updating the ROM BIOS on your unit to ensure you have the latest fixes.- Make sure you have the latest one for your model - Here is a link to a document on the Blink Codes.

HP Laptop. Blank screen and caps and num lock lights flashing.

Hi,
I hope you can help me.
My laptop is the HP Pavilion DV6-1216sa, bought new in September 2009. When I turn it on, I get a blank screen, the fan is working and the wifi, volume and mute lights light up. The caps lock and num lock lights flash together, once everyone 3 or 4 seconds. Normally when this happens (it has happened throughout the life of the laptop), I turn it off and turn it back on, and it works again. However this time, the problem persists. I've tried most combinations to get the bios screen up and I've tried getting it to another screen via hdmi and VGA, but no signal received. I have tried everything recommended by the HP support website. I have checked the battery, ram, and hard drive.
Best regards,
Jay

The best cheapest fix is if you can remove the motherboard your self and send it to a refabricator who will check all the chips on the motherboard and reball the bad ones. Cost is about $60-120, closer to the bottom if you can ship them just the board but if necessary they will take the whole laptop and remove the board for you.

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.

HP Pavilion tx2500 - Caps Lock and Num Lock lights blink once

I turn on my HP Pavilion tx2500 and I hear the fan spinning but nothing else happens. The lights next to the Caps Lock and above the Num Lock keys blink (a repeating single blink). According to some HP technical support documents I found online, the repeating single blink indicates a CPU problem. My laptop is out of warranty and the $400 to send it to HP to have it fixed is practically the same price I paid for the laptop 2 years ago.
Do the blinking lights mean the CPU is fried? And is there anything I can do to fix the laptop?
Thanks,
-Jeff
This question was solved.

I have the same problem. I called HP they said the same thing. But, I am BIOS engineer myself and has worked with lot of motherboards, So I felt there is no point in sending a 399$ to find what happend and on top of that fixing charges.
I noticed the problem started when I installed Win 7 Ultimate edition to the board and let tbe board Idle for a long time and it went into sleep mode and when I hit the button for resume it would not resume, the blinking started.
I have seen the same thing happend to my friend laptop, luckily for him it recovered and he removed the Sleep Option. SO his laptop is shutdown or running in full power.
I thought this is not coincidence, there is defenitely a bug in HW or SW that is causing it. remove battery. I replaced the memory and removed the cmos battery and left for a long time (short the battery terminals to discharge quickly). Then I rebooted the machine, Luckuly for me it went to windows, I tht of replacing the BIOS firmware, bcos they ahve some latest on by that time I had a visitor and I was talking to him the system went into sleep mode and will never recover. The system started blinking. I dont see this as a CPU problem.
I still evaluating this. I will try to post my findings. I have aclip to read the BIOS chip but everytime i get different read. SO I am planning to remove the BIOS chip and put a socket so that I can play with the BIOS.

Hard reboot with binking caps lock and num lock lights DELL XPS M1530

After returning from work I saw my DELL XPS M1530 had hung and there was blinking CAPS and NUM lock indicators, I had to hard reboot.
This has happened with me some times.
How can I investigate? Is there some log which i can see after hard reboot?
I am on kdemod 4.1.3 with nvidia stable driver

I used to have that problem on my laptop also. It seems to plague a good number of XPS 1530 owners. From what I can tell the problem seems to be either graphics card drivers or wireless card drivers. Do you happen to have the intel 4965agn card? If not, what hardware do you use for wireless and graphics?

Caps, Scroll and Num Lock Notification - How to disable

Hi,
When i hit either my caps, scroll or num lock on my keyboard have this small notification popup and have problem disabling the function.
How will i go about to disable this?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\Shared
Find hpCaslNotification.exe and rename it.
Then open task manager and kill this process.
You have to rename the file, simplly killing won't work because hphotkeymonitor service runs it every time you press caps lock, scroll lock or num lock.

Pavilion DV5 1111ea CAPS lock and NUM lock continuously blinking

I recently upgraded my dv5 pavilion 1111ea to windows 8.1
Due to an issue with the OS, it doesn't resume from Hibernation, as described here.
I held down the power button until the laptop swithched off.
Once I tried to put it on again, it couldn't get to the BIOS screen, the CAPS lock AND NUM/SCROLL lock LEDs were blinking continuously, once every 3 seconds.
No disk activity at all.
I checked HP Notebook PCs - Blank Screen LED Error Codes but non corresponded to continuous blinking.
I have a spare CPU which I removed from a discarded dv5, the CPU is exactly the same model with mine (AMD Turion x2 RM-72).
I've troubleshooted by removing both RAMs and testing each individually in different ports, yet no solution.
I'm suspecting the CPU because about a year after purchasing the PC, it began to overheat and hibernate automatically to prevent the CPU from burning. I had to underclock the CPU so, for over three and half year now, I've been running at 50% CPU speed. In total the laptop is 4.5 years old already.
Please I need suggestions as to what to do. I don't have the required tools to replace the cpu myself.
Thanks.

I took my PC to a repairer and he claimed to have replaced the CPU with an AMD Sempron from his collection of scrap laptop CPUs.
After about 3 months, the same problem has recurred.
I opened it up, only to find my former CPU model inside!
Whether the repairer had a spare Turion, or he only performed a trick to make my original CPU to work (and billed me for a replacement), I can't say for sure.
Now I've purchased another CPU from eBay.
Fixed it and...... got dissapointed again.
Still blinking the CPU error code.
From other posts I've come across here, I think HP/AMD combo is to blame for all these.

How do i turn on my cops lock and num lock lights?

I recently had an update on my Bios and my lights on my num and caps are not coming on. How do I fix this problem?

Have you checked to make sure the batteries are inserted the correct way? Have you tried to turn it on by pushing the right upper (round) edge of the keyboard - if you do that, do you see a tiny little green light? Since you have a wired keyboard, can you get to the Bluetooth setup/preference pane so you can manually try to sync the keyboard?
PS - posting duplicate posts is not helpful - it makes things too confusing, so I've asked the hosts to remove your other (identical) post.

Keyboard suddenly requires caps on and num lock on in order to type

But with the caps on it types lower case and won't work if both keys are not pushed. Have I changed keyboards or pushed some code without knowing it?

Sounds like you need some maintenance done. But on the chance that you caould correct the issue yourself, Try a PMU and PRAM reset. If this doesn't work, try the hardware test on the disk that came with your computer.
To reset the PRAM, hold down Option, Apple, O, and F at startup. Wait for two startup chimes.
To use the hardware test insert the disk that came with your computer and hold down D on startup.
If this doesn't work, you will need to take it in for service.

LED near scroll and num locks keep blinking. Does not start often. Computer guy says moth board gone

HP pavilion DV4
Purchased from Singapore

Hi,
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 this has not helped the issue, can you match the sequence of 'blinks' to those shown in the table below?

When backlight is off Caps Lock and Num Lock keys flicker slightly

I recently noticed that on my very new MacBook when I leave the backlight to turn off, the caps lock and num lock lights flicker green. This is a very low level of light coming from it. Is anyone else having this problem and is it very serious?

I doubt it means anything. You might consider leaving it like that for a while and then checking to see if your battery ran down like the computer was awake. Or you could close the lid. At least that way you don't have to see the flicker.
If you said the lights flicker at full intensity, that might mean a loose connection or a bad resistor on a chip, etc.

Blinking Caps Lock and Num Lock Keys Lit after spilling water Macbook Pro.

What does it mean when the caps lock and Num lock key blink, after spilling liquid on a Macbook Pro? Does this mean that liquid is still present? Also, the white light by the latch was blinking. What does this all mean?

Possible liquid damage.
Immediately disconnect all peripherals, power cord & remove the battery. Turn the computer over with the lid partly open and the hinge facing upward to let the liquid drain. Do not flop it over and lay it flat - you want to separate it from the moisture. Place paper or cloth towels under the machine to sop up the mess.
After the computer disgorges whatever you spilled on it, don't turn it on for 72 hours or longer. You want to computer to dry out completely before turning it on again.
Some users here swear by hairdryers. Blow drying the innards may bake whatever was in the liquid onto delicate computer components. Better to let the computer air dry.
Use plain tepid water to clean out the computer. If you spilled iced beverage more than likely this ice fried the hot motherboard.
Sugary, acidic or milky drinks will almost always cause problems later on as the residue starts slowly corroding the computer innards.
Swab down any sticky parts with distilled water or denatured alcohol.
If none of the above works, you will need to take the computer to a repair shop. Apple Care does not cover liquid or food damage. Believe me, they can tell. So the old "my computer stopped working" line is not going to work.

Problem with Caps Lock and Num Lock after 10.5.1

I noticed after updating to 10.5.1 my caps and num lock lights were on, i thought this odd as I did not push the buttons, pushing the buttons to turn the lights off however actually turns the caps and num lock features on.
In short, the light is backwards! when caps is OFF the light is on and when caps is ON the light is OFF!
the same is true for the num lock key/light...???
anyone else notice this problem?

Same exact problem... after updating I noticed that my numbers lock and caps lock were on. Didn't think much of it so I turned them off and then I notice that they are working in reverse. Caps lock on gives me lower case letters and numbers lock on I only get the symbols associated with that key above the number....mmmmm.
Anyone found a fix yet? I have looked in preferences and other places but found no solution.
