HP EliteBook 840 G2: Won't power on, power and caps lock flash continuously

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 14:32:00 -0700

Computer won’t power on. When the AC adapter is plugged in, the power and caps lock lights flash white continuously, no pattern, just fast blinking. I have cleaned ram, switched slots, taken cmos battery out to wipe cmos. I have removed the battery and tried with just ac, yet nothing. Can anyone help me out?

HP Elitebook 8460p: Computer doesn't turn on

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 09:39:57 -0700

My laptop was sitting in a shed for like half a year. That's when I think the CMOS died. Any ideas on how I can replace the cmos? I am quite certain of this because it turned on earlier, and said the cmos clock is invalid.

HP EliteBook 8560w: Certain keys on keyboard not working F6 4 7 = a s d [ k l ;

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 07:55:07 -0700

Suddenly certain keys on the keyboard have stopped working: F6 4 7 = a s d [ k l and ;

(I have hooked up a Bluetooth keyboard to type this)

I have:

Turned off, removed battery, held power switch down for > 1 minute - then rebooted - no change

Gone into NetBios using F10, done a keyboard test - it fails

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the keyboard druivers - no effect.

If possible, can somebody at least confirm if this is a motherboard or software problem. I already replaced the keyboard without success.

HP EliteBook 8440p: How can I fix my laptop that turns on but shows nothing on the screen?

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 03:43:25 -0700

So I decided to update to my HP 8440p elitebook and thought I could do it just like any other software, I had no idea.

I downloaded the installation from the official website and opened it and hit next next install like an idiot. The laptop turned off, I turned it on but nothing shows up on the monitor, just a black screen.

I did notice that the caps lock turns off and on which doesn't happen normally.

I've tried to hook up the laptop to an external monitor but still nothing just a black screen.

I would appreciate some help, thanks!

HP EliteBook 850 G2: How can I reset BIOS password?

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 07:24:01 -0700

I have purchased a second-hand laptop and found the BIOS is password protected?

Is there a way to reset/remove BIOS password on this particular laptop?

I have tried removing CMOS battery but this has no effect (I believe BIOS password is held in NVRAM on this model).

HP say the only way to remove the BIOS password is to replace the motherboard which I am not willing to do as apart from being able to access the BIOS, the laptop is running fine.

HP EliteBook 840 G5: Why does my laptop only work when I charge the battery externally

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 00:35:13 -0700

I have two elite books and I tend to play around with them. So I have to unplug and replug the battery a lot. But a little while ago I noticed that one them when it was charging and it still gave me a low battery warning and then it died. So I took the battery from the non-dead one and put it in the dead one and it turned on but it wouldn’t charge, so I would swap battery’s between them for a little while but then the same thing happened to the other one. And now they’re both dead so how do I fix this?
