Have tried numerous iterations over the past week, using Phoenixtool generated files, LatinMcG's output file from the same as indicated above, using FAT32/16, with SSD, CMOS battery connected/disconnected, 12 GB RAM, 4 GB RAM (have not tried 2 GB only). USB is definitely accessed and is running with indicator light blinking in various cycles, but no cigar it appears. Done.Ĩ) (Disconnect battery and power adapter,) Plug in the USB stick, hold Win + B, (Connect power) and Power On. As an alternative, I used SP55068 output files from Post #656.Ħ) Place both of these files on the usb stick at Hewlett-Packard/Bios/Current. I will clarify further on this as needed. Done, albeit I am unsure whether I ran Phoenixtool with the correct modifiers/parameters. 53112)ĥ) Run Phoenixtool on the bios you wish to recover. Using SP55068 (but have also downloaded SP53216, SP54024. 1657-110.Ĥ) Obtain latest BIOS update for your laptop.

Bricked, but device specifics under battery indicate Rev. (From a desktop alternative)Ģ) Downloaded and executed HP UEFI Support Environment (SP54668) to create the HP_Tools UEFI boot USB stick.ģ) Find System Board ID in the bios. #372 to name a few:ġ) Formatted a USB stick both as FAT32 and FAT16 (default), naming it HP_Tools. I have endeavored to follow Post #1 by to the letter and also referenced posts #655, 656.

I use this machine for my professional work, so this is a rather unfortunate situation. I get two long caps lock blinks in a row, then short pause, then repeats. I cannot boot the laptop and am experiencing the blank screen with no GUI or means of interaction. Also, I subsequently opted to "upgrade" the machine to run Windows 10 Home 64 Bit. I upgraded this to 12 GB, utilizing the 4 GB stick from the original config + an additional 8 GB. (SandyBridge) Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU with a 1 GB discrete Radeon 6700M GPU and 6 GB RAM. The machine shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit and features the 2nd gen. Here are the particulars of my case:Ībout a week or so ago I experienced BIOS corruption and CMOS errors 501/502 on my HP dv6tqe laptop (bricked). A cry for help from here, in exasperation.

Ladies and gents, esteemed community members.
