What's BIOS?

Basic Input Output System

A corrupt BIOS will make your laptop not to turn ON and cause the caps lock to be blinking light

A faulty memory (RAM) can also do the same

A bad motherboard as well

You need an Engr that will troubleshoot it

What happened

Memory
BIOS
Motherboard


Suggesting one of the above is the cause and needs a tech to troubleshoot and fix

maxkenny:
Thanks have done that now working. Still on wifi and webcam not working.

can someone assist me on this. My system webcam and wifi stop working

For that; you need to escalate the issue and find a technician that will troubleshoot and resolve the issues.

You may need to grant permission for your laptop to access your webcam under privacy. Then, for the WiFi; Go to device manager and check if the driver is appearing there. Also go to network adapters option to check if the adapter is disabled. If after checking these options it persist, open the laptop and examine if the wires that connect the adapter hardware is properly connected and in place 1, 2 or black, white. Then replace with another network adapter.

maxkenny:
1. System webcam not working or showing camera
2. Wifi not showing on system.

Have tried all I could. I updated the driver's, downloaded and installed new drivers but nothing works. Have updated my windows,, same.

Please treat as urgent I need help to fix this ASAP

I suggest you specify your location for further assistance. It is a hardware issue probably due to a failed WiFi adapter or terminal disconnected. For camera; you need to be sure that privacy settings that allow system to have access to camera is enabled.

maxkenny:
Yes, exactly.

Right now I can't even access my system. When turn on, asks for system recovery identity code. I'm in trouble. Please help

Use another PC to sign in the Microsoft account you are using on your laptop to get the BitLocker key. You will find it under the security option.

I am also having the same issue
Hp G1 Elitebook 850
Do you think it is motherboard issue

Flickering screen I guess it is the problem you are referring to which is majorly as a result of weak or faulty screen due to pressure. It is not a motherboard issue, hence you can take the laptop to people that deal on screen to check and replace the screen if you want to continue using the laptop.

MrAmaechi:
Password forgotten Windows 10. No previous back or registered. What can be done.

There are steps and guidelines to reset or remove the password without losing any data.

To carry out this, you need a Windows 10 or 11 installation bootable USB.

If you have the above kindly let me know for further assistance.

Thanks.

SPECS: MSI B450m pro-vdh max Ryzen 5 5500 Rx 6600xt Corsair CX650M

Yesterday the computer shut itself when i was about two hours into playing a game (Zenless Zone Zero) and i noticed the fans do not spin when i turned it back on.

I read online that this was normal, but even after doing disabling zero rpm mode and using afterburner to manually control the fans, they did not start. Even at high temperatures they were not moving.

A wierd thing that also happened was after i decided to remove and reinsert the pcie cable connecting to the GPU, it stopped displaying, and no warning leds were blinking. I even changed the port on the PSU but that did not fix things. Today morning i decided to return the pcie cable to it's original position on the PSU and the display came up again, which was when i took the pictures above.

Overheating can cause PC to shutdown. I suggest you check the fan to be sure it is functional and avoid using the PC to run at a high temperature in order not to damage your processor or graphics card.

Victorrhymez:
sorry for the late response,I finally tried to reset but had a second thought and powered it on and the issue stopped just like that ,still watch to see if there would be a reoccurrence

Ok nice.

blaskikv:
My laptop battery is not showing

There’s need to open the PC and check if the battery terminal is properly connected.

If checks show it’s connected properly you may need to replace the battery.

Thanks.

CaptainSaba11:
Why does my laptop refuse to boot when I turn it on
The keypad light comes on for few seconds and it goes back off with only caps lock button blinking and the screen refusing to come on
While the fan blows heavily

Also It's not the ram
I've tried different ram with same result

Remove both laptop and cmos battery
Then clean the RAM slot with hard brush and spirit
Allow to dry and power on the PC without battery.

If the issue persists it maybe a faulty bios or motherboard and requires an expert to fix.

Habayomie:

Cc: chuksvoice

Did you try to reinstall the OS?

If after reinstalling the OS the issue continues; you maybe having a faulty dedicated graphics card.

It is likely a case of short circuit on the motherboard. I advise you take it to an IT Engr to troubleshoot and resolve the reported issue.

Yes it is possible. The laptop comes with two different batteries. From the screenshot; it shows that Battery 1 is not present so go ahead and replace it for more backup time.

Petmayor:
Thanks. I've gone for HP EliteBook 840 G5 8th Gen Intel core i5, 16GB, 512 SSD. I upped the budget though.

Great deal and a wise decision.

Solo0:
windows can't be installed on partition, if I delete the partition My windows instalation file will go away,so how will I now install winding

It is possible the HDD is bad and need to be replaced so put another HDD in the PC and try reinstalling Windows.

Alternatively, remove the HDD and use external hard drive reader to format it. Then put it back to the PC and try to reinstall the OS.

Solo0:
Please help with this win 11 installation I can't go past here

You were not specific on the error you encountered. Try and delete the partition and click New to create another one. If it fails then replace the HDD and retry.

Skinzz:

Good morning bosses

It is better to take the PC to a technician to assist. Follow come is good provided it is tested.

24kmagik:
My system shows this blue screen and I can't do anything. What could cause this pls?

So many things can cause it including multiple press of power button when system hibernate or put to sleep. Press and hold the power button to force shutdown and power it on again. All startup to repair and if it fails click to continue Windows 10 or 11.

Vianna:
I have done all this. I also tried powering on without the battery by removing it. Still showing no signs of life. When I plug in the charger, it's not even showing charging light.

It is either faulty motherboard or BIOS

Vianna:
I have an hp probook laptop that was left abandoned for about 6 months. Prior to then, it was working fine. No issues..

Now after abandoning for 6 months (I travelled) . The laptop won't power on. Also, it does not indicate that it's even charging (charging light is not showing). Basically, the laptop is dead and needs to be woken up.

What could the issue be and what can I do?

Thanks in anticipation.

If the battery is inbuilt, kindly open the back cover and remove the battery. Then plug the laptop and power it ON without the battery.

If it is not inbuilt remove the battery and follow the above procedure

Juicethekid:
Gooday guys
I don't know but my laptop mouse keeps left clicking on its own.. what could be the possible cause of this?

Debris inside the left click touchpad maybe the reason for continuous clicking. I suggest you shutdown and clean the holes with brush then clean the touchpad with spirit.
