Pavilion dvd-1275mx: halt during POST

To light, illumination of the keyboard (sound, dvd controls, wireless, etc.) normally light and fan runs briefly.  Then the fan stops.  After 10 seconds, the lock Maj and stop scroll lights start flashing together every 2 seconds.  This continues indefinitely.

Display is completely empty.

Touch pad seems to be active.

Cycles DVD player if there is a disc present.

I followed the instructions to reset - no joy.

For the most part, just trying to know what the flashing code means.  Knowledge base describes the condition, but refers to the HP support to interpret the blink codes.  For a laptop of 6 years, I'm not about to pony up $60 just to know that I now possess a paper weight.  So any help will be greatly appreciated.

I enter at the start of the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock blinks every 2 seconds approximately and continues.  The screen remains black.

Have you tried a hard reset, but there was no change.

Here is a link to the laptops HP - troubleshooting LED blink Codes or beep at start or start Codes.   Two flashes indicates a corrupted bios.

  • Portege R500 fails during POST

    Hi all

    I have a Portege R500 for one year now and yesterday he started to fail during POST, I presume.
    The display is blocked to the power on the screen with the icons boot device selection, but can take no decision (get into the bios by selecting the boot device, etc...). I already tried to remove the battery for a few hours, without result, but I guess that should be more than a few hours to exhaust the backup battery and reset CMOS...
    Other than the splash screen, no other information is available, so I think that this machine is dead... Anyone had a similar problem?

    Best regards
    Paulo

    Hello

    Normally this POST screen hanging means that a hardware component can t be recognized correctly. In your case, I would try removing the CD/DVD and HARD disk drive. Try also resetting the RAM modules.

    If it doesn t work it seems to be a BIOS problem. Therefore, you should contact a service provider authorized in your country. They can try to reset the BIOS or reflash it.

  • Satellite Pro A - beeping during POST

    Hello.

    I have a problem with the BIOS POST check bothers me. The problem is that when I rebooted my computer or put on sometimes during POST (when a Toshiba logo appears) there is a beep beep. Especially there is no signal, but there are sometimes even noise.

    So the question is: is this a problem at the level of the material or is it a problem in the BIOS (by the way, I re-flashed the repeatedly - BIOS without result).

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    This means that you get only sometimes a beep code when you start the laptop or is it always?

    These beep codes mean usually there is a hardware problem but I think that only an authorized service provider can test this exactly.
    What you can do is to reset the BIOS to default settings and if you have two memory modules live, test it with a module only.

  • G7-2284nr Pavilion: DVD PLAYER

    I have a HP Pavilion g7-2284nr. Number D1C26UA, with Windows 8.1, bought the 13/01/2013. To prepare to accept the download of Windows 10, I found that my Cyberlink media pack has failed to support MPEG-2. The recommended solution is the purchase of an update at $ 49.99. Is this correct? If so should I upgrade all three of my systems before the upgrade to Windows 10 next week?

    [Personal information]

    Hello

    There are many free products around, you need not pack multimedia CyberLink to play MPEG-2 including DVDs, BD is a free tool called VLC, it can play almost all the video formats.

  • Pavilion dv7-4285dx: cannot BOOT/POST/VGA external and internal LCD is dead (cracked)

    I cracked the screen of my HP Pavilion dv7-4285dx so bad that I can't read anything on the subject. I'm trying to start to an external monitor to the VGA port, but never to get a signal.

    I tried the key switch monitor, but that does nothing. I tried to unplug the LCD internal of the motherboard - not different. I tried a CMOS reset by removing the laptop battery, remove the CMOS battery, cut the power and hold the power button / stop for > 1 minute, then by restarting with external LCD just attached, but STILL no video on the VGA port.

    The video card is OK, because it starts with Windows and then I have the video on the external monitor.

    Although it is good that I can use the monitor to post once Windows starts, I need to have the video when the BIOS starts to change.

    Does anyone have another suggestion how I can get the BIOS to detect and display external VGA at boot time?

  • Portege M700 - DVD drive fails during the recording of discs

    Hello

    I tried the Disc Creator that came pre-installed and also Nero 9.2.6.0. All this on Vista 32 bit.

    The latter seems to have no idea about the problem, as it says smething like unknown failure.

    The creator of disc mentions error code 380381-26-BF040304.

    The problem occurs only at the beginning, I tried with three discs, so I don't think that the disks are the problem. In any case, they are DVD + R DL Verbatim and support up to 8 x, while the recorder goes only up to 4 x for the double layer, so I think I'm ok.

    My suspicion is that maybe the firmware in the DVD version needs update... He mentions Hw 1.00, 1.10 Fw. Other manufacturers of laptop as offer updated firmware DVD for her, but I couldn't find one of TOSHIBA.

    Any ideas?

    See you soon

    Hello

    There are several disks for Portege M700, they are compatible. Usually in the user manual, you can find a list of supported CD/DVD players they are pre-tested by Toshiba and work correctly.

    If you have any other questions about a new drive, ask the service provider authorized in your country. They can offer you a compatible player.

  • Pavilion dv3500: STATIC SOUND during the OPENING of MOVIE MAKER

    Hi good day!

    When I opened my Windows Movie maker, all that audio recordings of my laptop becomes static, I can't even find a better way to solve this problem, I think I need an Audio encoder. Kindly help me with my problem. Hoping faster responses. Thank you.

    Hello @Trafalgar_Law,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I read your post on the sound and wanted to help!

    Are you just having this noise problem when using Windows Movie Maker?  If so, try to uninstall and reinstall the program.  Alternatively, you can try to use Windows Update, to search for the drivers that are compatible with Windows 10.  You can consult this site too: products HP - where can I find drivers Windows 10 and software for my model?

    If you have problems to install the drivers, you can use the tool on the following site:

    Open the Windows Update troubleshooting tool

    It is possible that the drivers are not available for your product.  If this is the case, or the drivers you found do not work, try to use the solutions on this site to work around the problem and let me know how it goes: how: install and update drivers in Windows 10

    All the drivers, specifications and manuals are missing from pages support again.

    This happened earlier in the week also.

    Another Member of the forum has reported the problem to administrators forum, which will be in touch tour HP, but since I am not employed by, nor do I represent HP, I don't know how long it will take to restore the missing data to the support pages.

    Whether the weekend will not help much either.

  • Windows registry is linked to the .dll files? HELP several BSoD and browse... crashed during post! for the love of God

    Must be quick, title says it all
    Windows registry is responsible for the .dll files?
    SFC shows SEVERAL DLLs not missing, no installation CD.
    Not good recovery CD.
    I have the copy of the registry before changes but online before browser support multiple and many BSOD.
    Will post now as browser crashed early in post and the 5 th time in half an hour.

    Thanks for the reply Elizabeth23, but I finally found the part of the SFC.

    SFC showed 167 system missing files - if you continue to press Cancel > continue every time SFC tells you to put in your Windows installation CD eveeentually happen to you at the end of his race - and I ran 3 times and each time got 167.
    Now I had some of the 'missing' located in System32 .dll files, but some were also in i386 and the drivercache but I had not located a bit; but I knew that something is not right I had found some system 'missing' files and after that a few hunting came across a site that said to check the registry key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
    CurrentVersion\Setup

    and under SourcePath my entry is a file that does not exist 'Temp' so I changed the entry to C:\WINDOWS rebooted and ran SFC/scannow and it scanned without stopping.
    Weird as the registry key was in a file that is no Temp because I ran many SFC
    times in the last 2 months and it always scanned all the files in the operating system without a hitch...

    My computer is still BSoDing out, had two after SFC took place without a hitch.

  • cannot start win 8 pavilion dvd g6

    I let Wincake get installed on my machine and malware bytes etc. detect and remove it but it always comes when I reboot.

    I would like to launch a malware of a startup DVD removal tool before the operating system is loaded.

    I can't get the machine to go to the bios or a start menu.

    Power, I tried F2, F12 and alt F10 result see this beautiful win8 screen.  This crap os is pretty scary but not being able to start around it really has me in love with her.

    I guess it is a wonderful arrangement between manufacturers and microsoft that is the cause, but then I still see black helicopters when dealing with microsoft.

  • Alienware Aurora ALX during POST stop

    The product support page:

    Aurora ALX

    I7 - 920 2.66 MHz

    NVIDIA 240 sometinsometin, can not learn more about the cards themselves

    Delivered in 2010.

    Basically, when the computer starts, the fans kick into high gear, the leds light up everywhere, fans slow gradually over a few seconds and then shut down the computer and restart the cycle.

    I removed the cards, hard drives and RAM.

    When there is no RAM, I get a beep code meaning 2 RAM has not detected, of course.

    The RAM and no video card or the HARD drive, back to the problem of start and stop.

    I guess that the CPU is ok since POST to check the memory live.

    The power supply might be dying, or a problem with the BIOS, or a thermal sensor could be dismantled and act as if the computer is overheating?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Probably get a better response if you re - post it in the forum of the Club of Alienware .

    Be sure to include the version of Windows.
