HI, just moments ago after during a clean installs of windows, I updated my bios and flashed. It rebooted and now there is a black screen and the scroll and caps lock has a light that blink once per interval.
I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv5-1100
Any Ideas or help to fix this issue?
Here's what those blinking lights mean: Blank Screen LED Error Codes | HP® Support From what I've read on there, if you haven't formatted the hard drive, boot your PC up and press and hold all four arrow keys. "If a BIOS authentication failure occurs, the computer automatically performs a BIOS recovery. If the computer does not automatically recover the BIOS, manually perform a BIOS recovery. To manually perform a BIOS recovery, press all four arrow keys at the same time to cause the BIOS to go to the EFI partition to find and recover the current BIOS."
Nothing happens when I press all four keys, there is no sign or noise to let me know if it even noticed I pressed all four keys.
The light above the scroll lock and the other light next to the cap locks flash then goes out then flashes then goes out, continuously.
Whenever folks ask me about flashing their BIOS, I always tell them NOT do it unless BOTH of the following are true:I updated my bios and flashed
1) You have a way to save off the current working BIOS to a media that can be used later to restore it
2) You have a way to restore the previous work BIOS without having to boot into Windows.
IF you didn't back it off first, and have no way of restoring it -- you should not have flashed the BIOS because, unless there is a key combination that can be used to either restore it, or boot into a second BIOS chip, your PC has become an "electric brick".
