HP pavilion dv5 black screen bios corruption easy fix 

Omg this totally fixed my black screen problem. My laptop has been unuseable for 7 years because of the black screen. I was so afraid of letting other techies fix my laptop because they might mess it up more than fix it. Thank you so much!

@Sylvan Goeke Please check the description for the flash codes. Thanks for watching!

@Chris Nelson Try removing the ram, replace one stick at a time and try to power on.

Hi there! I watched this video, glad it was not as bad as you thought it was. I have a HP dv7-4263cI, I've done the remove battery and power supply step then did the ram sticks 1 by 1 and switched places with the ram sticks. it still powers on with black screen and fan running with hard drive sounds of booting up, cap lock LED light blinks just once with the F12 key staying lit. Any suggestions? oh FYI the HP will power up once in 6 months. I know its sounds crazy but it only turns all the way on and runs fine. then reboot it and it starts all over again. It literally has me puzzled.

CMOS Battery Taking out and RAM reset worked for me, after flashing a new BIOS it was not loading from black screen. thanks

I have a HP avillion detachable X2 energy star so I can't remove a battery as it works like a tablet and connects to the keyboard. I can't get into BIOS to restore the computer and it doesn't turn on. When it does it comes up with a sign to say low battery but I charged it all night this happened before when my computer had low battery and I accidentally got into BIOS and fixed it but now I can't remember how to do it. I have tried every button combination there is a few times I have gone into BIOS it says I can't continue without plugging in the charger which I do but then the countdown goes to 0 and it turns blank again. I don't think it's allowing me to go into BIOS when my charger is in so I have to plug it in as soon as I access it but it never works and I can't click on continue as my keyboard mouse won't allow me to move (my friend accidentally broke my screen to touch screen no longer works only the keyboard which seems to be frozen when I enter BIOS)

I have the same problem. Black screen after I removed battery and directly plugin power cable to computer it's working. Thanks

Fortunately it worked for you by just holding the on/off button. But unfortunately for me that didn't work. Can't u make a video about how to fix the problem by taking out the RAN and such!? He have the exact same laptop and it blinks twice just like u(caps lock nun lock)Would be very helpful if u did. Thanks!

@maurinella yamballa Remove charger and battery. Hold power button for one minute continuously. Replug charger and see if it boots. Good luck!

Thanks, its work for me

Dude.....THANK YOU!!!

Thank you man but I had to open up my laptop but is working

Thanks so much dude. I was scared i lost my pc. Thanks!!!

Thanks dude! that fixed my laptop 👍👍

Hay I have HP pavilion xf328 it always says its charging then about 30 minutes to hour . when I unplug it after 3 minutes it says low battery . some one told me to delete the acip controller for the battery turn off lab top reinstall battery and let it redownload everything . if this does not work what else could it be . I pulled out battery and it says 100% on its own tester .

THANKS A LOT !! i finnaly fix my pc. i be so dead if my parent know about it. :).

If I shut down the notebook and after that power off, the problem will be already fixed? Or I need to fix it manually again?

Thank you very very much, u just saved my daughter from several 1000 danish kroner :)

I have the same laptop and the same problem, "reapetidly two flashes a little stop and again". I turned off the laptop from the start button. After a while I started the laptop and it was started normally. The problem is remain but not every time I turn on the laptop. Another critical point is that the laptop it is very hot after some minutes of operation.

Hey but my laptop is dv7 core i7 But its not blinking any lights just like dead

@yahye abdulaahe Have you tried reseating the ram?

I have to do this hard start or "reset" every single time to start my laptop. So what would be my other options for a permanent fix? Thanks.

I get an error message saying that the storage capacity for the battery is very low. The battery may need to be replaced. After I hit okay, it sounds like it's loading up, but I just get a blank black screen with my cursor. Not sure if it's a loading issue, or maybe a monitor issue? I tried the different outputs because sometimes I hook it up to a projector, but no luck.Any ideas?

Hi. How about HP HDX16 Premium Series. It blinks 3 times. What will be the solution for this? Thanks

Sir do you have any video on power trip on same laptop hp dv5

hi. i have an hp dm4 2191us. that thing not show a bright screen. its very very low... i can see the screen with my cell phone flash directly. how to fix it?

My Hp pavilion laptop has the same problem. my caps lock flashes and black screen is only on the display! that happened when my laptop shuted down in the middle of updating, is this help me???

Hi my rca cambio 2 in 1 laptop tablet got a black screen because I messed with the bios. Do you know a way I can fix it? My device has no cmos battery.

Same laptop change the ram with working, have 2 blinks try a new cross battery nothing changed you have anything in your mind? Ps I checked all the cables if they are properly installed

Saved my laptop, thanks!

Good job. Doesn't work for 4 beeps and 4 led flashes. Same leds.

I also have a Hp pavilion and the computer was on but once i ejected my usb the whole screen went black. Any suggestions??

I have the same laptop pavilion dv5 and the same problem: LED Blink Code 2. I hold the powerbutton for over 4 minutes and it didnt help. I changed the RAM, nothing happened. CMOS Battery replaces, also nothing happened. You mentioned something to flash the bios, could you help me with that? Thank a lot!!!

thank you my laptop its working now

According to HP blink code error table, you have a problem with your CPU. This is not something you can sort out yourself, it will need to go in for repairs. This may end up being quite expensive. Make sure you get a quote first. Good luck!

I had the bios corruption blink code then eventually it changed to cpu not functional. The bios update failed during installaiton.

Appreciate the video, but what am I supposed to do when caps lock and num lock are constantly on.

I saw this laptop you worked on and mine was very similar and had the same two lights lit up on it....near Caps Lock and above the keypad on my HP DV7. But when her laptop started to work, you stopped to troubleshoot the problem...and my lights are still flashing and my screen is still black.

Lucky, I still have the laptop but DDR2 wasn't seen in any shop :(

MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS!!!!!

My computer beeps 4 times when I turn it on. My RAM is placed correctly. What do I do? :(

Do it works on msi ex400? i broke it after i cleaning it

I have a HP Pavilion dv6 with Caps lock blinking twice every 3 seconds and F12 or wireless button orange, I tried everything, removing the RAM, removing the Battery and Holding power button, even removing the cmos battery and is not working

sir my notebook is hp pavilion dm1. when i want to do reinstaling my notebook use recovery, um.. sorry for my poor english. first whwn i getting on my notebook i was press esc button, it make display option like recovery in f11 butoon, (it the button i was press) (many i'm do recovery like this and and ai made it) but not this time, when i press the f11 button, after the green display (that seem like ray of sun shine from above with the cursor in the middle of screen you know that) my monitor just blank, black screen but my notebook still on, i try it many time and it blank again after i press the f11 button. now i just want to asking to you, how i can fix it?? i hope you know how to solve my probem sir. ^_^

Zoë Ruijtenberg Are you updating the bios from a usb flash drive? Is your model the same as the one in this video?

Hi, I have a DV5 1110em that is refusing to boot (has corrupt BIOS by the looks of things - 2 blinks on caps and num lock). I have tried the fix above but am getting absolutely nothing. I notice in the video you said about renaming some files (BIOS) - I'm assuming create a bootable USB disk, extract the driver files (downloaded from HP), then rename one of them (I believe you then create 3 copies of this file and change the extension). then I need to hold the windows key + B to prompt the system to update the BIOS. As i say, I just need to know what the files need to be called - If you could help, I would be really grateful. Cheers!

hii..I have the same probem with my HPdv5, black screen and flashing caps and num-lock, but it blinks just ONCE...what does it mean?please help..what can I do?

What if the LEDs blink continuously? Mine doesn't match with any of the flash codes. They blink continuously. Please advise. Thanks

when i start it without battery it working fine, but when i started it with battery,the LCD will flickering with lines and then blank out and nothing will displaying, please help me,

do you know how to remove a boot block on a hp xw9400 workstation using the hp 571889-001 408544-005 motherboard?

Ok so I have a hp g61 and to upgrade my ram i took it out and couldn't fit my new ram in. So I decided to put back my old ram and after I did it the screen was black and the CAPS and Fn lights were blinking. Pls help!

If you do not have any vital information that needs saving, you can run factory restore which will restore the computer back to factory default. You will lose everything on the computer, so only do this if you are 100% sure you have nothing that you need.
