Constant flashing of capslock/numlock and long boot times

Hi people,

I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1225dx and recently, he began to exhibit strange behavior.  Here's what happens:

1 to off (IE starting cold), it lights initially media buttons and a button / stop and the CPU fan will turn upward.

2. then the fan stops, the screen stays completely off, and after 8 seconds the capslock and numlock lights will be flashing.

3. these lights flash once every 4 seconds.

4. after a variable amount of time (sometimes 1, sometimes 5 min, sometimes up to 20 minutes), the laptop starts to boot.

5. windows 7 starts up fine and works without any problems except the BSOD occasional (but which has been the case for years with this laptop, so nothing new).

6. the capslock and numlock lights continue to blink once every 4 seconds forever.  This is in contradiction with what I read on the support page for the vacuum to the screen LED HP Error Codes:

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01443366

7. Once Windows 7 has started, the laptop won't charge the battery.  It is said "plugged in, not charging."  The battery (Flash) light is not on or flashing, and the led power/AC is solid on (not flashing).

8. I just replaced the battery with a genuine replacement from HP.  This whole slow boot/flashing capslock/numlock behaviour started before I replaced the battery.

9. If restarting the laptop (hot start) starts immediately, but the capslock/numlock lights continue to Flash.

10. with the laptop off completely, she says sometimes it recharges the battery, sometimes not.

I'm going to install and run the last HP Support Assistant to see if she could do this.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

-Paul

Looks like you ran into a variety of issues.

Unfortunately, the num lock caps lock flashes once very four seconds indicates a problem with the processor.  It is a result of follow-up of internal equipments in Notepad.

Processor issues can manifest itself in several ways.  Some are minor annoyances, some are complete failutes of the laptop and some are somewhere between the two.  Your processor is manifested in a way that lies between minor annoyance and a complete failure.  I've seen cases where a failure of the processor is originally a workbook for stuttering where the screen looks free for a fraction of a second everyone else then.  As you can imagine, it would be pretty boring.

This means that a service of equipment is necessary.  I'm sorry.

If it is under warranty, I would recommend contacting HP support for a service order.

If it is not under warranty, please contact HP to get an idea of how much a repair would cost and weigh this option against a new laptop.

  • Long boot time and the gel boot drive selection window

    Hello. I have a problem with my MacBook Pro 13 retina "(2015 at the beginning).

    My mac is about 4 minutes of cranking up about a quarter of the time and it is not related to the problem of the "boot disk select parameters. The computer just hangs before it's anything related to the start-up procedure. It's just a black screen with no interaction with the mouse, no noise and no keyboard input. It does not recognize the 'option key ' (used to get into the disk boot selector) until I pressed it for several minutes, and then the boot drive selector freezes as well.

    I don't have any external drives connected, and already tried SMC reset, reset the PRAM and reinstalling the operating system (normal wipe and wipe any partition).

    I always have Apple Care left. Help, please. Thank you.

    Hi Herojeff02:

    It seems that you have some SSD problems.

    Have you tried to boot safe mode. Try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple Support

    You can start in recovery mode by pressing command + R and then using disk utility to check your SSD.

    See the following links: OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

    Resolve startup issues and perform maintenance on disk with disk utility and fsck - Apple Support

    If you have Apple Care, I'd do an appointment at the Genius Bar. It could also be a hardware problem.

  • BIOS/UEIF and the boot for flash player settings

    If I want to do a clean install of Windows 10 with the latest version of 1607, I don't know the settings in the BIOS should I choose to do my starting the computer from a bootable flash drive. I know when I go into my BIOS settings I have regular or legacy options UEFI. Could someone give me the step by step process and the right settings to achieve this?  I tried to call Lenovo to ask this question which was useless. The woman speaks virtually non-English asked just what brand flash drive, I got and where I bought (Best Buy) and told me that I had to communicate with them on how to boot from it? What useless tech support! Further, I have to pay for this information.

    So if I want to boot from a flash drive, just select USB boot and save and quit, having connected flash drive?

    I have no way to check this BIOS special, but do it from the BIOS config usually involves some keys to move the unit to the top of the list, and then save and exit.

    My favorite way to start an essentially temporary device is to use the start menu, not BIOS config. Start using the Novo button and use the menu start to select the 'on the fly' USB flash drive instead of making configuration changes.

    (Guide to the manual of Maintenance of hardware and the user for your conflict model on it.  The HMM said boot via the Start button / stop but press F12, the said UG boot via the Novo button.)

  • Satellite A200-1CR - black screen and no boot

    Model:
    Toshiba Satellite A200-1CR

    Question:
    By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power LED lights up but still black screen (not even of lighting). The logo led 'Satellite' in the lower left corner of the chassis remains off while the HARD drive has made a unique quick snap; DVD activity led (the device) always remains on even without any CD inserted, by pressing the eject button do nothing (status bar is locked) and no sounds of activity.
    No logo screen of boot (show stays), not of beeps dark and wide, no DVD or HARD disk activity, keyboard seems does not (all combinations that should light up an led, capslock, numlock, etc, does nothing), the fan works.

    I have already (without success) tried:
    -Unlock the tray, insert the rescue CD and power on
    -Remove the main battery and power on with AC adapter only
    -Insert a bootable USB stick/external HARD drive

    The computer worked as expected the day before and there has not been any kind of shock. Described is the situation I faced when I turned on the next time (only 24 hours later).

    What could be wrong?
    Thank you.

    > By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power led turns on but screen stays black

    Well, looks like hardware problem; Maybe the memory problem or something serious with the mother or the CPU. It of really difficult to say what could cause this.
    You can try to check the RAM modules.
    Trying to start using a maybe only module, it is useful in the case otherwise I fear, you will need assistance from technicians Toshiba ASP m

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 4: Flash Cards are dark and not transparent after update v1.1.7

    Hello

    You know Flash Cards is transparent and moving flashy when pressing the FN key.
    After that I downloaded & installed PVAT 1.1.7.see card Flash became a dark, not transparent and does not move when you press FN plus (watch suddenly when pressing FN).

    What's wrong?

    PS. I have A200 - 1 M 4

    Thank you

    Nothing is fake. It is simply a new version. Toshiba has offered this setting day and fixed a big problem. Using the latest version of Flash cards were very slow and it was very awkward. Toshiba has designed the new tool and transparency is no longer available.

    I hope that you know very well that these settings are in need of more resources and laptop runs slower. But in the end I wonder: is it so important to you?

  • HP61-322N R ~ screen stays black at startup with flashing lights (capslock & liked keypad)

    I am pretty illiterate with a lot of the terminology, I am self-taught, so please dumb it down a bit.

    My husband took my computer laptop yesterday outside to clean the fan (it was overheating to the point of burning to the touch and close several times a day, so I thought there would be a ball of hair there our dog, but not just a few thick layers of dust). We cleaned, kept track of everything pretty well, he promised that he put everything back as it was - he is experienced with disassembly macbooks and other laptops we have owned to clean the fans without problem. He has taken apart again for each connection was insured, but the question remains.

    When we tried to turn it on, it sounds very well in what concerns the normal startup but the screen remains black and the caps lock light and a light on the number btwn keyboard end & pg key to blink slowly home.

    I looked, but nobody seems to have this exact problem - I did unplug, remove the battery, put the power for 20 sec plug, then power on without battery- but which did not help of course.

    I need a solution in order to save them on a hard drive and at least get a new laptop, as is the plan I had for months with this intense overheating problem. Has happened for at least two years or maybe even since we purchased in Nov 2009. Also, it seems absolutely crazy and stupid to block most of the fan with a speaker, among other things. His is no longer a mystery why I burned by this thing - seriously I could scramble the eggs with the HP thing.

    If I can't get the screen for good work, I can handle this, but I need to connect it via hdmi on my TV as a last resort to save them on my hard drive until I have trash the pos.

    OK, thanks for your help with flashing lights in codes, and although he was not really the key to this problem, I have solve my problem.

    We finally got to work this morning

    There had been flashes two times (several times) while the article says BIOS corruption - which does not make sense to me, but all of a sudden my husband thinks aloud that he may have changed the cards memory when assembling it back together.

    The key here is that if you took it apart and the screen will start - you has NOT put it back together properly and you, as I, probably shouldn't be disassemble computers

    Use your smart phone to take photos of each important step to dismantle everything.

    Once he came back, he also realized that they were not completely locked into the slot so maybe it was they key and maybe it doesn't matter what order they were but try both the cards memory switch disconnected and reconnected the if you experience this problem.

    Otherwise, follow the guides the person provided in their response. My problem was strictly material.

    Good luck

  • "This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows.

    First , Thanks for stopping help.


    I am installing swiff player (so I can add a .swf to my Microsoft Powerpoint conference), but Swiff Player gives error:


    "This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows.


    An online search has been unsuccessful.


    Reset IE does not work.


    I have Windows 7 32 bit and I have installed (just today), Flash Player and Shockwave Player.


    This next paragraph may or may not help (but is probably too much info):


    It was working before I had to reinstall windows. They have also improved my office at Office15 (how it shows in Program Files), kind of Powerpoint has been updated (from my previous one which was of Office 2010. What I'm trying to do here, is to add a .swf as my 1st opening in my powerpoint slide. I noticed that it is 'there', but is no longer autoplays and right-click on swf placeholder (from when I had placed it in this file years ago), no longer displays things like 'properties' where I used to have such characteristics as the loop/play immediately... I remember you had right click this space reserved flash (I had used SWIFF PLAYER to add it before) and then go down to "loop"... but that maybe older info too - just in case it's useful). So, anyway, due to the restructuring of Windows, I noticed that this slide 1st plays automatically on opening. Therefore, I myself remember I had to also reinstall Swiff Player that I did today, and then encountered this error flash.ocx above.


    THANKS if you can help and above all, thank you for your solutions.

    That you use in a safety device in the current versions of the office.  Content Flash is click-to-play in office documents.  Unfortunately, one of the main vectors of infection of malicious software inside corporate networks was end users clicking on legitimate-looking office with the plug-in embedded content documents.  To mitigate this risk of infection, content incorporated as SWFs are click-to-play. If it were possible to bypass security dialog boxes, they would not provide a valid defense against this attack vector.

    There is a guide on the side of Microsoft support on the integration of videos directly in your presentation:

    Insert the video in your presentation - PowerPoint

    If you're looking to see a simple Flash animation, you are probably best to convert to video.  You can do this directly from Flash Professional, as long as you have the original files from the source (.fla).   If you do not have the .fla, you could do the hacky thing and use a screenshot as Adobe Captivate utility / Camtasia Studio / etc - to make a video recording of the animation playing on the local computer.

    If you are looking to integrate a complex interactive element based on Flash in the document, then, you should probably think to place these items on a Web site and bind it to the powerpoint presentation.  In my opinion, it would be preferable to move away from this use case than to train your students to ignore the Security dialog boxes that really do provide significant barriers to potential attackers.

  • Flash shut when I restart my computer and I have to uninstall and reinstall every time

    Help! I worked on it for 11 hours non-stop!

    I have Windows 7 64 bit. I use the latest Firefox browser. I have install Flash and it seems sort of work. It is in my programs to uninstall from Control Panel with the Flash icon.

    When I restart my computer and go to the Adobe site, it shows that Flash does not work. It's always in Control Panel uninstall programs, BUT there is no icon. So, I have to uninstall and reinstall to use.

    When I go to all the games Zynga.com and right click on the game window the Flash window opens but when I click on settings it freezes and I right click and left click a lot so he could get out. So I can't leave the site to use 100% of Flash to run on the site. From time to time if I wait a few minutes settings will open and I put 100% but when I go back and look at home later he says: I am using 0%.

    I have Norton 360 and switched off and uninstalled and reinstalled several times, only to have the same problem occurs.

    Until I installed Windows 7 and Vista Ultimate it worked better, but still not as good as it should have.

    Also in my plugins Firefox Shockwave is there but no Flash plugin is still there with Flash installed or uninstalled. Flash is and whence came it Shockwave? Firefox?

    Do I need Shockwave for Zynga or Facebook games? Or at all for that matter. I'll install it without valid reason as long as it is not something to screw up.

    After 11 hours of this Adobe HELL I am burned! So ANY help is greatly appreciated!
