HP pavilion dv4: starting HP pavilion dv4

My HP pavilion dv4 won't start. The battery is dead for a long time and I unplugged without any problems in the near future. But today my laptop won't suddenly start little matter what I do. I tried the 25 - 30 sec current drain thing but still nothing.

I should also mention that the plug shows signs of decomposition while the battery is dead. The lights on the desktop Flash for a second or two and then nothing. I searched the forum to find answers, but still nothing found. Please answer as soon as POSSIBLE!

It sounds as if it was the time to get a different notebook to replace the one that has the problem.

  • HP Pavilion dv4 screen black 1428dx / refuses to start up

    I have problems with my laptop (HP Pavilion dv4 1428dx) the last thing I did was paused, then cameback and tried to wake him up but it would not start up. All the lights are on, but the screen is black and the only thing that I hear the fan moving. The caps lock and num lock keys have a light flashing, not really sure what it means. The power light, battery light comes on, but the hard drive LED is not on. This computer is nearly 3 years old and I've never had a major problem like this until recently. If anyone has a solution that I'd be happy to appreciate them.

    Thank you for your time,

    The blink codes State caps lock/caps lock Num because it might be just the caps, just the number lock lock, or both.  If both blink, then it counts as a blink every time.

    If it flashes once and a break of 3 or 4 seconds, then tells the CPU POST test failed.  A processor failure usually requires a new processor, but some have been able to open Notepad for reinstall process and apply new thermal paste to get the problem resolved.

    If it is under warranty, I would advise you contact HP for service.

    If it is out of warranty, then I would contact HP to get a quote and compare that to the cost of a local PC shop to weigh your options.

  • HP Pavilion DV4-1125nr cannot start after the update/update BIOS version F.12 to d.55

    System: HP Pavilion DV4-1125nr PC Notebook

    Product #: FR922UAR #AB

    The system board ID: 30F7

    Version of the BIOS (before the update): F.12

    OS: Windows 7

    I tried to update the BIOS to d.55 which was provided by HP. After the successful installation the closure of new windows BIOS correctly. I restart the PC, HP Logo appears and then nothing happens. The operating system do not load or start at all.

    I also tried to boot using the Windows 98 Second edition CD (to charge BACK), but it did not work.

    Please help me...

    Fortunately I found a Solution to this problem.

    Here are the summaries (and modified according to my needs) the steps that I've taken of the following thread:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/dv4-1140GO-won-t-boot-after-flashing-latest-BIOS/m-p/19698#M2730

    1. go to the hp site and download the correct version of your BIOS. In my case it had to F.12. Why not the latest version? Because there is no guarantee that the last one will work for you, know after measures.

    2. go where you downloaded the file and using 7 - Zip (or tool of your choice of course) unzip the contents to a folder of your choice. We'll get to that later, so keep this file open.

    3. use 128 MB or no matter what key-USB USB key (the smallest, you might find, because they said the smaller the better ) and reformatted to FAT or FAT32 click with the right button on the drive by clicking on "format".

    4. now that my USB is ready, go back to the folder where you extracted the file to update the BIOS (always open to the right of the folder?)

    "5. If you have the graphics card Intel integrated like me, copy the ' 30F7F12U. FD"of the key USB and RENAME the file '30F7F12U. FD' at '30F7. BIN ". Remember that this name calling to order "DV4-1125nr. If you have a different motherboard, the system or the BIOS, the name must be determined according to the.

    The next steps are exact 0.0 as follows (the link of a full detailed discussion is provided below), I simply numbered:

    6 unplug the adapter from the laptop.

    7 remove the battery from the laptop.

    8 insert the USB key into one of the USB ports on the laptop.
    Does not seem to matter which.

    9. press the 'Windows' key and the 'B' key

    10. connected to the power adapter.

    11 press the 'Power' button on the laptop.

    12. when the LED is entered, letting go of the power button / stop and the two keys down earlier.

    13. After about 10 seconds the notebook started to read the USB key. While searching for the file, the laptop beeps every seconds.
    The number of beeps varied, depending on what size of the key USB has been and
    the number of files on the USB key, a single beep for many.
    If the file was not found, the laptop will restart and try again.

    14. If the file is found then it took about 12 seconds for the laptop to load. No beeps sound not heard during the loading time.

    15. when it is responsible for the laptop has started flashing, indicated by beeps every 2 seconds. It took about 32 seconds.

    16. about 5 seconds after the ringtone had stopped off the laptop computer.

    First I update my pc with the last BIOS (F.66), but did not work for me (operating system not loaded after HP Logo ). So I decided to go back to the old F.12 (the version that has been shipped when the laptop was purchased) according to the procedure described above. But the problem is where to find version F.12 as HP currently provides links only for the version of the BIOS F.66 to d.55 (in the drivers from the hp support site section)

    Fortunately, I found a direct link to this version F.12 in the next thread.

    http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/HP-Compaq/304332-C700-CQ40-CQ45-dv4-dv5-DV6-hdx18t-Insyde-BIOS-recovery-using-USB-thumbdrive-2.html

    F.12 version:

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp40501-41000/sp40749.exe

    This was F.12 and worked for me. Thank God Almighty I return my PC.

    I use a Pavilion dv4. Windows just crashed on a blue screen with a message about physical memory dump. Now when I start the computer it will just a black screen with a blinking cursor to the place when windows normally should start. I can not access the system with the f11 key recovery.

And besides, if the problem was the battery, the laptop wouldn't be able to turn on at all, no?

    I'm not about to spend all that money on a battery just to know that it is not the battery.

    Hello

    If you have the 64 bit rescue CD, you would have received an error if it was bad.

    Once you have all your data backup, try the following - which means that Windows has been installed on the C Partition.

    Boot from the new rescue CD, select repair your computer and choose the command line.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

    Bootrec.exe

    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    c:

    Boot CD

    BCD attrib s h - r

    Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    Bootrec /fixmbr

    Bootrec /fixboot

    Remove the rescue CD and try to restart now.

  • No signal between Pavilion dv4 and TV with HDMI cable

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion dv4 and a Samsung Smart TV. Two days ago, I was enjoying happily successful between the two with a connection cable HDMI. Now, the connection no signal. Here are some facts:

    -The correct TV settings are selected.

    -I don't think it's a problem of cable, as the cable and TV connection to a different device port work.

    -When I shut down the computer and restart, the image of the start screen appears on the TV, but the computer screen is black. Then the TV goes black and the screen with my password. So, if I unplug and re - plug the HDMI cable, I get the error "no signal".

    -I am tired on the installation of plug-ins or drivers because the connection work successfully only two days ago (although I will say that there are updates installed between the last time that the connection was successful and now). But if this is what will fix the problem, then I'm game.

    I'd like opinions and advice. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I connect HDMI permanently to a screen (TV, IE) and I use the monitor 2 only. Everything turns on the external display.

    Kind regards.

  • HP DeskJet 930C color: print to DJ 930C of HP Pavilion DV4 - 1287CL on a home network wireless.

    I'm having a problem with my DeskJet 930 C.  It is a very good printer and worked for many years.  It is connected directly to a desktop PC running Win7 (32 bit).  I recently acquired a HP Pavilion DV4 - 1287CL (64-bit) and it attached to my home network.  I thought that I would be able to print remotely from the new laptop, but I have failed so far.

    I downloaded programs HP solves printer installation problems, and this has helped me to find a driver for the Pavilion.  This driver works fine if I connect directly, via a USB cable to the printer.  However, if I try to print over the network, it does not.

    I wonder if the problem has to do with the fact that my office use Win7 32 bit, while the laptop is configured with Win7 64 bit.  Is there an incompatibility problem?

    For now, I'll be able to print by connecting the laptop directly to the printer, but I'd largely be able to work remotely on the laptop and send data over the network to the printer.  Is this feasible?

    Thanks to anyone who can offer help!

    Tom.

    Well, it has finally decided to work!  After trying everything I could think of, I went back and remove the printer flag and started from scratch.  I've implemented the homegroup network, allowing the use of the printer on the network.  Then, I pulled up the "Devices and printers" program on the Pavilion and added to the printer.

    It showed immediately on the Pavilion as being available on the network, and I chose that the printer is connected.  Nothing to it!

    So, I conclude that I did simply something wrong the other day when I tried to connect to the printer.  If at first you don't succeed, try and try again!  Or, in the case of computers, all clear and start over!

    I'll mark it as "resolved".

    Tom.

  • Pavilion dv4-1220us SRS Premium Sound

    So I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1220us with SRS Premium Sound(printed on my casing and came with computer) I downloaded and installed the update of the BIOS for my laptop exact BIOS from HP (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-75532-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3860431&os=2100&lang=en) after you install the BIOS of my computer restarted. When it restarted it said I didn't have his windows automatically installed the IDT HD Codecc drivers but with SRS Premium Sound technology. I tried to download the audio drivers from HP (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2100&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3860431), but not its SRS?

    How can I get my SRS Premium Sound work and back on my HP Pavilion dv4-1220us

    I had the same problem that you have done and did a Google search, which led me to this post.  Like you, I noticed on flashing the BIOS version F.52, Windows "found" high definition Audio Device as it has never previously been installed.  I realized he killed my SRS sound.

    I can tell you that flashing back to F.4A and installing drivers above brought back my SRS features in the IDT Control Panel.  I have flashing F.52 to F.4A (old version) without any problem.

    Support for Windows 7 was apparently introduced in F.4A and F.49, by their release notes:

    F.4a: Updates the OPROM Computrace to support the next generation of Microsoft Windows operating systems.

    F.49: Adds support for future Microsoft Windows operating systems.

    BIOS F.52 caused me the noise problem and also my laptop makes Beeping very occasionally when starting.  He also made Windows prompt me to "remove" the DVD-Rom drive in the taskbar...  Decommissioning of the BIOS took questions (and I lost one afternoon to do)

    Just trying to help...  If anyone has these problems, try flashing to F.4A.
