Pavilion g6t wont boot after bios update now just black screen please help!

 I downloaded an update for the bios for my pavilion g6t-1d00 laptop running windows 7 64 bit. It started acting kind of funny but I didnt think anything of it til I tried to boot it up the next day and all I got was a black screen and a orange led light on the f12 button for the internet and the caps lock button after blinking afew times started the dredded two times every couple of seconds. I tried the windows key+B key power key, no luck. I cant access anything because I have no monitor and I'm at my wits end. I refuse to wipe my hard drive and start over even if I could! I cant access hp tools or manager or anything, please someone has to have a solution!

@Fuschia4me,
1.       You will have to use another computer
2.       Access the HP.com site with the BIOS updates available here is the link
3.       You want to select the F.36 BIOS version
4.       When you click on the update then click download and it will ask you to save or run, you want to save to a flash drive
5.        Once done insert the flash drive into your laptop
6.       Turn the computer on and press the windows and B key like before
If the process doesn’t work the first time I would try at least 2 more times.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

  • Pavilion m9500y wont boot after bios update

    Hello Everyone, 
    I have a m9500y desktop that I recently did a bios update on. The update seemed to go through just fine but then when it rebooted it ended up beeping a few times and showed only a black screen. I removed the power cord and cmos battery and tried to power on after putting them back. It came back to the boot screen and hitting f10, it says "Entering Setup" and a flashing cursor, but doesn't get passed that. Is there a way to get into some recovery mode and reflash the bios again?
    Thank you in advance for any help. 

    Hi,
    There is one HP BIOS update available for your PC when using Win Vista 64 bit.
    Is this the update that has failed? Did you attempt this BIOS update running a different version of Windows?
    It may be possible to mod the BIOS update per above and flash again. Another option is to have HP reflash your PC's BIOS. The cost to have HP fix may not be worth it given your PC's introduction date in 2008.
    This site may provide some help. Check out BIOS Recovery. Current HP PC's use AMI BIOS. Your PC may have an Award BIOS.
    Or you could contact a local PC tech for assistance. The tech may be able to reflash the BIOS at a lower cost.
    There is no easy fix for this problem.

  • K9N Diamond - Wont boot after BIOS update

    Just attempted to update the BIOS on my PC and it now wont boot.  Used LiveUpdate with the Windows flash option (don't have FD drive).  The lights on the D-Bracket 2  get as far as LED 2 Green, 1,3,4 Red.  I have already tried to Clear CMOS with no joy.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed much appreciated  - and yes, I already know, I've probably done something stupid
    Thanks
    Grant.

    power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU, push several times power button to drain capacitors, then Clear CMOS and leave only one memory stick into DIMM slot close to CPU socket. pull back power cord and try to boot.
    in a future do not update the BIOS for no reason....(only becouse its new, only becouse new BIOS maybe got a new logo and e.g...)
    Looks like I'm back in business now.  I found similar instructions at this location  http://www.bosamar.com/K9N/trouble.html and followed the First Procedure.
    Booted ok with one mem stick, in bios fail safe mode.  I counted 7 short beeps while booting then one long beep.  Not sure if this is ok.  Read about bios beeps here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82221.0 and the final long beep seems to indicate a pass???.  Anyway, Vista appeared to come up ok and I checked everything in the hardware device manager and all looked fine.
    Proceed to reboot with all mem sticks back in place, again same beeps but Vista coming up ok.
    Next I switched bios to optimized defaults, but now 6 short beeps - no long beep.  Windows looks ok.  6 beeps appear to indicate a keyboard problem, but kbd seems to work fine???
    System looks ok now, but not sure if i should look into those beeps a bit more?  BIOS now at 1.3, should I leave as is or revert to an earlier revision?
    One thing I know that I am going to do is to install the FD drive from my old PC 
    Thanks for all the help.
    BTW, the reason I did the BIOS flash was as a last resort to get my sound to work.  Tried the various creative driver as suggest elsewhere on this forum but without success (as of yet there is no official vista compatible audio driver for my mb from MSI).  The JAUD1 connector looks to be connected as specified in manual (but no audio from either the front nor real panel audio connectors).

  • Z50-75, wont boot after bios update

    Hi to all!
    I just baught Z50-75 with AMD FX7500, 8GB Ram and FreeDOS. I installed Windows 8.1 Pro, and they pulled some drivers during the installation, and I went to Lenovo sight and downloaded all the rest (graphics, camera, etc.), after each installation the computer restarted normally and all was O.K. The last drivers that I saw on the site were BIOS drivers, and I downloaded those to and it started the installation after which it said:"The system will now restart for changes to make effect", and it did, but, it would not boot up after that, all it did was show me this on the screen:
    And I tried both of the options (the second one with the Windows CD inside), but it just stays where it is, no effect.
    I can enter the bios and change the settings, but none of them seem to work because this is the maximum where it will go, the only difference is when I change from AHCI to Compatible mode, it restarts and than I have a blank screen, I have to use the One button Recovery to get back to this one from the picture above...
    I would appriciate any kond of help, please give me some advice.
    Solved!

  • Successful BIOS update now only black screens

    Hi! I am currently using a MSI K9A2 CF-F V2 and I wanted to update the bios in order to take advantage of an AM3 CPU socket. I found what I believe to be the correct BIOS from the MSI driver search (7388 version 1.D) since I have Vista 64-bit and was unable to use the Live Update. I completed the USB Flash update recommended here and successfully flashed my bios. I reset CMOS and booted up fine. I ran the MSIHQ Tool and it showed the correct version. About 20 minutes later my computer is now black screened permanently and the monitor is staying in power saving mode. I hear no beeps upon power up, however all of the motherboard lights and fans work. If I unplug the monitor it is responsive to the disconnect. I've swapped video cards and ram just in case. Any advice? Thank you so much for any help!

  • Xp wont boot after bios update with dualcore amd 4200+ (k8n-neo2 platinum)

    after flashing the bios (xp already installed on a sata stripe array)
    xp wouldn't boot anymore ... ik had to flash the bios to be able to
    use my amd x2 4200+ ...
    so I tried to instal xp freshly on the sata raid ... hangs when it restarts to instal devices ... nothing would help diffrent drivers , basic bios settings , all pci cards removed and switched of everything i could in the bios to get a really basic setup
    to instal ... no help whatsoever ...
    now if i try to instal on a normal ide everything works like a breeze ... dual core , raid , everything ...
    personaly I suspect either the windows instal stuff to be the problem with dualcore
    but even more the nforce drivers since they have not been updated since june 2004 ...
    can someone help me out please ???

  • G550 wont boot after bios update

    Hi i installed Windows 7 on the lenovo g550 and was getting the latest drivers and got the 2.53 bios. i got the message that bios flash was successful and then gave timer till reboot. The power light is on and the fan is spinning but nothing shows up on the screen. Luckily i did backup the bios onto a usb but now how do i go about flashing the old one back on.

    If you have to, just hold down power button until it shuts off.
    Remove battery and wait one minute.
    Replace battery, and plug it in.
    Enter bios on boot and "load default settings".
    If you can't get into bios, post back.

  • Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

    my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
    what do i do?

    Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
    Did you flash the BIOS properly?
    Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
    In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
    Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own

  • T500 takes 15 minutes to boot after bios update

    symptoms:
    it takes around 10 or so minutes to get to the thinkpad press f1 to set up screen, after that it gives me a screen that says ME is initializing, this is after a bios update and subsequent roll back of the bios. both bios updates now give me the same result. sleep functions also seems to not work, once im into windows my t500 operates as usual.
    what I've done:
    in addition to rolling back the drivers Ive disconnected /reconnected the cmos battery and turned off AMT. ive also made sure that all of my drivers are up to date.
    machine is a 2081-cto running on win7
    anyone have any idea what i can do? i still have a long warranty but would like to solve it myself so i dont have any down time.

    Hi guys and welcome to the forum, dinny.
    You might try fiddling with the BIOS setting for the security (TPM) chip:
    F1 at boot to get to BIOS setup, then Security, then Security Chip.
    I have mine set to "Disabled" but have seen other reports that setting it to "Enabled" can cure bootup delays.
    Worth a try, please let us know if it helps you.
    Good luck,

  • Laptop won't boot after BIOS Update

    My laptop took an automatic BIOS update
    Now when I try to turn on my computer it won't turn on:
    Screen is black
    Power button and f12 button lights flash at 5 second intervals indefintiely
    At the same interval a fan or hard drive can be heard spinning for a split second then stopping
    I've tried the hard reset (Remove power and battery fo 5+ minutes, plug in power but no battery and turn on) but no affect.
    The Windows key + B key with the power button for 1 second had no affect either.
    I can't find any info with my exact problem (All other info seems to have blinking light codes while mine is just at a constant interval)
    Thanks!

    @B1-17 ,
    Thank you for posting back.  Now based on how you are explaining the response you are getting after doing what you have done so far the next step will be to try and get a response with removing some components and then see what kind or response you get.
    Here are the steps you want to follow.
    First remove your memory from you notebook.  Here is a link for the Maintenance Manual that will show you how to do this.
    (When Removing Or Adding Any Part To Your Notebook. Remove Battery and Power Cord.)
    1) Remove bother Memory Modules.  Put the power cord back in only.
    2) Start your notebook and see if a new flash code or beep code happens.
    3) If yes place only one memory module back in to your notebook and try rebooting.
    4) If you boot up then we have a bad stick of memory.
    5) If you still have a flash or beep code. Remove the single memory module and try the other.
    6) If this lets you boot up.  Replace memory module that is not in the notebook.
    7) If you still have the original problem or a new beep code.  Power down again.
    8) Now remove power cord then the hard drive.   Use Maintenance and Service Guide for instructions.
    9) Try booting up again and see if this changes the original flash code or beep code.
    10) If yes then replace hard drive if no then contact phone support for repair options.
    At this point if there is no change in the original flash or beep code you are looking at a repair.  For information on how to get your system repaired please contact our phone support.
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assis​t.html

  • Computer will not boot after bios update

    This afternoon I recieved an urgent BIOS update in much the same format as I have received updates from HP for years. It was accompanied with some other non urgent update.
    So I gave  the permissions to make the update.
    I recieved a notice that the update had been successfully completed and the computer said it was restarting.
    The problem is that it never woke up...
    After several minutes I manualy restarted the computer.
    As the boot began I heard three beeps, and then nothing but a black screen.
    I shut down and restarted after several minutes but this time no beeps just black screen.
    I figured that somthing must have corrupted the BIOS
    I began researching what the three beeps mean.  Appearently three different sets of BOIS were used in this model.  Different BIOS have different beeps.
    Well I sure never  thought I would need to write down what BOIS I have...
    In my research I have see referances to holding down certain F keys  for different BIOS options as I start the computer
    If I hold down an F key when I hit the start button the computer emediately shuts off
    How can I get to the BIOS to reset or roll back the update?  What next?

      The box is on the way...
    In addition the the methods outlined in the article The Hp tech  had me try to start tapping the F 10 key.
    Nothing worked...
    Hp is sending me a box to return the computer to a repair facility.
    Thank you for your  timely assistance,
    Sparks
