So recently i got into a problem when mt laptop start but screen doesn't turn on and gives that caps lock codes Once it was 2.2(2 fast blink and then 2 slow) and sometimes 5.3 so i would like to try to recover bios by flashing it in usb but on HPs website there is nothing available for my laptop. No driver no bios update nothing
My laptop is HP Pavilion Notebook - 17-g015dx (ENERGY STAR) If anyone has recovery bios for this please provide it or give any solution to my problem.
Thnx
I have an HP Probook 450 G1.
The laptop does not want to turn on, I can hear the fan spinning but there is no display (black screen). The wireless button is glowing orange and the caps lock light is continuously flashing. After some troubleshooting I discovered that the continuous flashing is a BIOS error, I replaced the CMOS battery and tried to turn it on again, it does the same as before - fan spins, wireless button glowing orange but no display.
The difference this time is that the caps lock button only blinks 3 times. I did some further troubleshooting it appears that the blinking indicates a corrupted BIOS.
I followed HP's advice and downloaded their BIOS update and recovery software and loaded it onto a flash.
They say that you should hold Win + B keys in while the flash is connected and press the power button, this will load the BIOS recovery program from the flash and restore the BIOS.
The problem is that none of the key combinations are working, I tried Win + B, Win + V and just the B button (these other 2 combinations from a YouTube video), it does not work.
Another suggestion was to connect a bootable flash with an OS on and try to enter the BIOS that way but that also did not work - the display remains black, I cant do anything.
Another thing to mention is that after a while of trying to get the recovery mode loading the caps lock stopped blinking 3 times. It does not blink anymore with a normal boot, or even with the USB drive in.
Now it's just black screen and orange wireless button. I though maybe the screen just died but I am not sure how to test that properly, tried VGA and HDMI cable to an external monitor but it just says "no source found".
It's worth noting the laptop came with Win 8, but it currently has Ubuntu installed.
other things I tried:
•hard reset
•boot without battery
•remove and reseat RAM.
•boot without HDD instated.
