  • This helped a lot Thanks!!!

  • @iluna1988 Glad it helped. Thanks for the feedback!

  • I know how to recover. But my screen is black n my keyboard is not working. I think i have a corrupt bios.Lights come on i hear the fan, then it goes off. I see lights, but it never make it to blue light from red on internet button. hear the dvd trying too work. It spins n turns off. I reset rams, hard drive already. Is there anyway to get pass the point? I have hp dv7 1245dx.The start up disc can't work. No signal going to screen or keyboard. caps lock light flashing.one time screen came on.

  • @rossdaboss1959 Did you update the BIOS before this happened? Did you get a virus? Any idea when this started happening or what possibly caused it?

  • @howto4u CAN I DO THIS FOR XP ?

  • @TheSelfishEffect The steps would be different, but if you have an HP PC that shipped with XP, you can recover it too. Just search HP's web site for instructions.

  • @howto4u I don't remember updating the bios. I looked it up on Hp n it sounds like the bios is corrupt. It said if the light is flashing in the caps lock number lock, u might have a corrupted bios. I just don't know how to get it to fully start over with no screen or key board. My portable key board don't work either when i plug it in the usb. Thanks for your time. I don't know if it's something in the mother board that i can loose n attach again to make it work.

  • @howto4u It had stop waking up one day. I let it just run n after a while, it just came on by itself. Every time it took longer to come on. I put never sleep. I set it to wake in the task schedule. But i think i had to change it back to sleep. It still seems like it's sleep trying to wake. If i can get it back to start fully, then i can recover. The keyboard n screen not working. I can't get to anything. It sounds like the dvd is trying to work. Blue light is still red for internet.

  • Thanks guys. Was the camera man drinking that day? Made me dizzy.

  • @Krudelutt What model of PC do you have? Did you install a different operating system on it that what it shipped with?
