HP G65 flickering lights not Boot CD/DVD

Try to help the family with a G65 Member, came to me do not start with flashing caps lock and also illuminated F12. Somehow, I got in the HP Tune up and let it run for 4 hours. All resolved, and I went to hand it back next day. I opened it follwing morning and back to square one. Now I can't get it to do anything except blink and I cannot count as it is ongoing with no break, also F12 lights again. I have noticed it seems to be an ongoing activity of the DVD player. It flashes all the time and there is no disk in it I checked. None of the F keys do something I tried their all to start upward. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Clive

I looked through all BIOS versions posted for the G65 series in the hope that he could be that addressed a problem of no boot similar to this, thinking that it might be interesting to try to extract a start-up and flash usb flash drive. None seem to offer help.

Buy a pre-owned, computer laptop-working is always a risk. Autumn none know what put the failure, a tough guy, a bad BIOS flash, etc.. Actually flashing the BIOS via the HP Panel has its risks and maybe what set this if it was attempted. I always go to support/drivers page and manually download & update the BIOS.

Not sure if this model has the recovery of BIOS by F2 to power on. If you can get in F2 search option. If not, perhaps time to part outside and the rest of the junk food.

  • Z575 will not boot from the hard drive or restore DVD

    Need help on a laptop Z575 age of 2 years that immediately after an automatic update of windows, will not start either from the hard disk or restore DVDs (blue screen). Does not start in safe mode, not booting from a rescue of third party DVD. Attempt to start, it will show you the ability to start the Startup Repair tool. Repair shows that it is unable to fix with the detail following problem error messages:
    Signature of the problem 1: 6.1.7600.16385
    Signature of problem 2: 6.1.7600.16385
    Signature of the problem 3: unknown
    Signature of the 4:21200196 problem
    Signature problem 5: auto failover
    Signature of the problem 6:7
    Signature of the 7 problem: bad driver
    OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1

    Normally think that the hard drive has failed or that windows update caused a software problem, but the inability to boot from any restore disk that makes me think that there is another serious problem with the hardware of the laptop.

    Any help would be appreciated. THX

    Additional note: when you try to boot from a restore disc, blue screen, error message:
    Stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78DA640, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    It is a hardware failure that cannot be restarted soft.

    I also removed the hard drive and RAM, reinstalled and rebooted, no change.

    Additional note: I was able to access the hard drive with a recovery of old program, focused on the (SpaceFM) ram charged through the DVD player. Hard drive data appears intact. Still does not start from the hard disk or a DVD of windows system.

    Thank you. Rather than buying a 4 GB or more large key USB comes from put this into hard drive replacement. Installed correctly, boots very well now. No other error of the optical drive... and no explanation I can see, but that's it.

    Unless something else pops up we'll just call cela a HARD drive failed after 2 years of common use. Thanks again.

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Found a box that prevents the bios to booting from anything other than the hard drive in the BIOS, under Security.  Stupid because it still allows you to change the order of boot without any error message.

    Once I changed I could boot from the cd and fix corrupted files.

  • Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external USB optical drive

    Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external optical drive USB (CD/DVD)

    The BIOS has no setting for it. It will boot from a flash drive. I would like to boot from my CD of 2013 Acronis Recovery Console.  Anyone have any success to boot from a CD/DVD USB drive?

    Yes, there is a way to do this.

    I just did this to install Windows 10 from a DVD on a tablet of 10 Latitude by following these steps:
    (Note: my version of BIOS is A08)

    1. turn off the 10 latitude power.
    2. attach a USB hub to the USB slot unique on the side of the tablet.
    3. fix a keyboard and an external USB CD drive to the USB hub.
    4. now press the button down on the side of the Tablet and simultaneously press the power button for 5 seconds (until see you the screen light up, but will be weak against black unlit).
    5. When you see the Dell logo, start typing on the F12 key (the lower right corner shows the option press the F12 key to choose single startup options)
    6. now start choosing appear with many options to choose from, including my CD/DVD drive.

    Hope it will be useful to you.

  • Satellite A60 Pro is not booting

    Hello

    I hope someone here can help you. I know that this laptop is old ages, but it's the only one my aunt and she would that he repaired if possible.

    Basically, the question is this.
    You can start the laptop, all the normal lights light up and the screen with the Toshiba logo and 4 icons at the bottom and then... nothing.

    He's sitting there for centuries, showing the logo and nothing more.
    You can turn it off by holding the power button down and turn it back on again, same thing.
    I did this without the disc without the optical drive and HARD. No difference.

    The worst part, without a keyboard input seems to be accepted. I help ESC, F1 and F12 on separate occasions but no change - goes to the screen of tosh, no other movement.

    HARD drive and optical drive turn up, as in they make noise and you can feel their displacement.

    I'm at a loss and need help please!

    Phill

    Hello

    If the laptop is unable to pass the Toshiba start screen, then this would mean that a serious hardware problem has been detected.
    During the startup process, POST (power on self-test) is running (for the POST, you see the Toshiba start screen) and the material is checked. If that fails, the laptop would not boot the system.

    I guess something is wrong with the motherboard. You can see the modules of memory, but in the case where the modules are ok, the mobo may be the troublemaker.

  • C55-b860 satellite is not booting

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite laptop c55, b860 which is not booting unfortunately. I disassembled it and deleted all the components that are connected to the MB, including hard drive, keyboard, and touchpad and also changed ram, but still the laptop does not start. As soon as I connect the power (with no hard drive attached), I hear a little gurgling noise. Not even the small hard drive is lighting up so it seems that the problem is with the MB. However, I'm not sure if it's the power supply. Can anyone give some advice on this? or maybe experienced something similar? Thank you

    Any comment please?

  • Satellite A200 - 19L can not boot from the CD

    Hi guys,.

    I'm glad I found this forum site, I pretty well hope to find a solution here.

    Well, this problem is not very complicated, in fact my DVD player (model TS-L632) is not read more, so much so I decided to change with a new one, but it is not the same model as the original drive.
    It is the case of the generic DVD player really.

    Now when I inserted my recovery disk or any bootable disk is not booting the CD, and when I press F12 for I can't find any CD/DVD drive, but running in Windows I can't find the DVD player and it can read any CD priority boot normally.

    Just having the problem while booting from CD.
    I thought that maybe there is no security for this model that locked some hardware.
    So please guys want to help me how to understand it,

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    > When I press F12 for boot priority I can't find any CD/DVD drive, but running in Windows I can find the DVD player and it can normally read any CD.

    The whole story seems really strange to me
    If you access the BIOS, you can see the details of the CD/DVD drive? The drive is recognized properly?

    If not then I guess that the STRANGE inserted is not totally compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.

    > but running in Windows I can find the DVD player and it can normally read any CD
    It s also strange to me so that the CD/DVD drive appears in Device Manager even if the CD/DVD drive Startup menu option does not appear.

    But first check the BIOS

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S does not recognize movie DVD on Satellite Pro A100

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A100-PSAAPE.

    Initially the played DVD movies very well, but now it does not recognize DVD movie at all.

    The drive itself is recognized and works very well with recovery DVD and CD-ROM.

    Phone support: they had me reinstall the driver and boot from the recovery DVD. This does not solve the problem. They then said to do a system restore. Tried, but it seems that the previous restorations of system are in themselves unsuccessful and the restoration of the system that has worked has not solved the problem.

    MediaPlayer and Intervideo WinDVD seem to work well, but do not find the DVD in the drive.

    They advise now reinstall me to factory setting, but don't want to build the laptop up to scratch etc, so I'm hoping that there may always be a solution.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thank you

    Best wishes

    Hello

    You understand that you must specify if it is a hardware or software problem.
    Unfortunately, you can find this secret only using recovery DVD (CD).
    Toshiba recovery installation will define the laptop back to the factory settings. In this case you may find whether or not the CD/DVD device is defective.

    If the player will not play the DVD after the reinstallation of the operating system, then chances are that it is a CD/DVD drive error.

  • Satellite L300-1AS - error PXE - boot error - will not boot from USB

    Startup error - error PXE-L300 1AS - will not boot from USB

    I recently bought a new HD to replace the original that my laptop takes an hour to load.

    I put the new drive hard at in the BIOS setting, I chose to boot from USB... USB is recognized as it appears on the screen of the BIOS. I disabled the LAN option as it gives me PXE error... I think that the USB files are not read. as I handed the old HD and attached to boot from USB but it just goes to the start screen.

    I thought that perhaps I bought the wrong HD, but a new appeared on the BIOS setting... I'm a bit confused and would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction...

    Any help or advice will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    New HARD drive has nothing to do with it. Problem must be your USB key.
    In your ad you didn t wrote what is on it, and we don t know if USB can operate as boot device or not.

    I put t know what OS you want to install right now but original recovery DVDs or use Microsoft installation disc and install Win7 32 bit. I ve installed on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

  • Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

    I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    @Magnus:
    Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
    In addition, this burning program did you use?
    I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
    What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.
