Blocked (or almost) to "Press the ESC key for Startup Menu" - hardware error!

Hello

My daughter has a laptop HP 625 (product code WS786EA #AKS, windows 7) is no longer starts. I tried a lot but have now run out of ideas on how to fix it (or see what error)

When I power on, it is blocked for a long time on the HP logo screen, saying "button press ESC to the Start Menu. If I press ESC (or any other F key) nothing happens for a long time. After a certain time (like 10 minutes) a menu option is written (I think it's "Press F1 for information system"). Then after a while longer (like 5 mintues longer) finally appears in the start menu. He responds so quickly (within the menu system) and I can do some tests.

I took the HARD drive, but the slow boot process is still there, I have to wait 10-20 minutes to go into the start menu.

Once there, I was able to do a memory test, but there is no error found.

Once there I also managed to update the BIOS (via a bootable USB key) without HARD drive being installed. The same behavior is still there after upgrade (without HARD drive).

I tried to watch the Flash of the LED "Caps lock". It does not Flash after a long period. I didn't know exactly when it started (I couldn't stay there for 10 minutes waiting for a key to blink maybe), but when I started as he blinked at least 10 times, if it does not match any of the blink codes.

(I accosted the HARD disk in a USB dock and drive execution som cheques. Some errors have been corrected, but he seemed to be OK also before that. After all the actions above, I reinstalled the HARD drive in the laptop, put in a DVD to recover Windows 7 and rebooted. He didn't care. It 'still hangs"att Startup logo).

Of course, there is a hardware error, but I wonder how much it will be, it does not, and how do you know?

Hoping for help from you experts out there...

Hello matsgw,

You got an error for the HARD drive.

The error you are getting is to replace the HARD drive.

It could be a bad port on the motherboard

When you start the computer, press F11 and see if you can run a return to settings recovery factory, perhaps a software error.

I would like to know how everything goes.

Nice day.

    Hello @Mike1994r ,

  • Pop-up doesn't close when you press the ESC key

    I have a Help menu where clicking commandmenu element opens a Popup. This menu is common to all pages.
    Only in the login Popup page does not close when I press the ESC key. Once the connection remains of pages ESC key works.

    Here is my code for the menu popup and order

    < af:popup id = "helpPopup" contentDelivery = "lazyUncached" clientComponent = "true" >
    < af:panelWindow id = title = "#{soembean.helpTitle 'pw1'} ' modal = 'false' contentHeight = '500' contentWidth ="900"clientComponent ="true"resize = 'on'"

    Please give me? no idea what could be the cause or any other solution to close the pop-up window for all hours when I press Escape key?

    is the update in the inlineFrame when you press ESC? If yes then this is probably why

    PS: If you do not plan to access the JavaScript popup then having clientComponent = true set is a loss of client performance

  • HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b100: "Press the ESC key" black screen TouchSmart 15-b100sa

    Hello

    I'm helping a friend with his computer because his son decided to play with it and now it is unclear what steps it took to create this problem.

    Initially, he asks a password on a black screen before opening the BIOS screen.

    Someone in this forum helped me with this problem and told me to try a code which worked perfectly.

    After that, I get a black screen that repeated me "press ESC for Boot Menu".

    If I press this button, a message appears saying "ESC...". Starting break"and stays there for about 2 minutes, which I think it's a lot of time to open the start menu to enter the BIOS and change the settings.

    Does anyone have any idea of what's going on?

    The computer is a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b100sa Sleekbook

    I would appreciate if someone could help with this problem.

    Thank you

    Hi @jc4 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion TouchSmart Sleekbook 15-b100 and issues with maybe an update. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop.

    I've developed a Flash video player and I tried to implement a support full screen, but for some reason any in trying to get out through the escape key, it must be pressed twice to this register. It works fine if I use my button to exit full screen. Here's what I'm working with:

    Check if you have an F LOCK key in the top right of your keyboard.

    If this is not the case, try a system restore:

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    See you soon.
