When I released the power button (still holding the Insert/Scroll button depressed), the computer came up and Windows booted. Nothing happened until I released the power button. Here's how I solved the problem (though I can't tell you why it worked, other than it obviously reset the CMOS).Ģ) Removed Battery and disconnected power cord.ģ) Waited, pensively, for 5ish minutes (read several places to wait for 20 minutes I didn't)Ĥ) Plugged the power cord back in (I did NOT reinsert the battery)ĥ) Holding down the Insert/Scroll button, I held the power button down for 20-30 seconds. I restarted to a backlit screen, no POST or BOOT.
The utility for flashing the BIOS ran, seemed to work, shut down the computer. Had the computer about 3 days, and was receiving some strange errors reporting unrecogized USB devices not recognized and a buggy USB driver. HP's 'Health Check' recommended that I flash the BIOS of our new HP Dv7-1175. I had exactly the same problem last night.
