Got a problem with my hp notebook, the BIOS was updating when Nepa took light, afterwhich I tried to switch it on, the only indication I got was the caplock key blinking twice (BIOS corrupted according to HP website). It was like dat for about 3 days. I took it to the technician and the light stopped blinking. Just an indicator by the side blinks. I'm so confused as I have taken it to 2 computer technicians and its still not coming up. Pls help.

It depends. If your PC comes with Win 7 pre-installed and then u upgrade to 8 or 8.1, it requires an activation code which you'll need to purchase. On the other hand, if it comes pre-installed with win 8, the upgrade to 8.1 is free and you can do that from the windows store.

you should have gotten an external or additional source of light of which you will be sure that it wont trip and jumble things up. you failed to act according to instructions and now you are exposed to facing the tide of either changing your BIOS chip, a hardware solution, or the motherboard, or sell it as scrap, or any other solution i personally haven't known about. Kindly state the make and model of your laptop for more evaluation. Good luck.

I like that, nice1 bigt2. Moreover,@user assumed your computer bios needs charging.
If the bios is integrated to the motherboard, you need to change the motherboard.

have you tried opening the RAM compartment of your laptop? probably, the RAM(S) may have gotten gritty. Clean the slots too. This might solve the problem.

Hi all: Pls what should I do about the following issues with my mini laptop:

1. its battery used to last up to 7 hours after it has bn fully charged, but now, the battery can hardly take up to 2hours, even though the indicator still shows roughly six hours?

2. Its bluetooth is always on anytime I boot the system now, whereas it used not to be so before.

3. Is it a better idea for me to upgrade to windows 8 from windows 7?

Do you have good anti virus on your system?
If you have 2g ram on your system its good to upgrade to windows 8 but what's the specs of system because it may not have complete windows 8 driver

where are you based? I can help you with reviving it and regenerating the BIOS. BIOS updates aren't things you dance around with. They are one thing i don't even advise people to update.
