BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the new motherboard plus PXE -E61: Media test failure, check

$

I have recently restored an HP DV7 3063cl laptop that died from an overheated motherboard (MB). I replaced the MB with a new board from HP when the price was reduced to about $100, upgraded the CPU with an advertised as new AMD 640M, and applied Arctic Silver on both the CPU and Graphics chips. I put in 4 G of fresh memory, got the computer to operate, and installed Windows 10.

 

However, I have several problems:

 

  1. The BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the motherboard during the boot process and sends a message to the effect. I hit the Enter key the boot continues.

     

I have tried to access the BIOS to enter the serial number or other possible solutions I found on line. One HP help forum had a BIOS editing software tool from Compaq from the year 2000 but said that it only would on desktops and the HP staff would have to provide a revised BIOS for my laptop.

 

2. I get two more error messages that

    • PXE -E61: Media test failure, check cable

    • PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM

I have not seen any fixes for this issue but it only delays the booting process shortly before it continues.

Eventually the computer launches Windows but there are other issues.

 

Create Bootable USB Flash - HP Instructions Don't Match

Hello. I am trying to create a bootable USB Flash drive on a spare computer to update the BIOS on my HP G62-340 notebook using the following instructions: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02693833/. Problem is that I never get the BIOS Update Utility when I open the download. I get "Insyde Flash" program which tells me it is about to update the bios on my spare computer without ever prompting me to create the bootable USB flash drive. I exit "Insyde Flash" before starting it on my spare computer.

 

Can some provide instructions on how to create a USB flash drive for BIOS updates? Thank you.

HP Pavilion beatsaudio - Black screen and wont boot.. getting 5 set of double beeps...

HP Pavilion beatsaudio - Black screen and wont boot.. getting 5 set of double beeps...

 

Screen stays black... can hear fan noise... after 5 set of double long(abt a second) beeps the power LED stays on, but the caps lock makes double blinks (1 sec gap) after every 3-4 seconds (I think its same as double beep).... 

 

Per support pages, double beep means BIOS issue, so I tried both BIOS resetting options of 1. Holding Windows + B keys and 2. All 4 arrow keys to reset BIOS... didnt work...

 

Then removed the CMOS battery (tested with multimeter and it has 3V power on it) put it back in... still no luck... 

 

Am running out of options now... can anyone suggest any other options or explain me whats going on?

 

TIA...

I purchased a new HP Laptop  having the following descriptions

Brand; HPS

Model name; HP PAV X 360 COVERT 13- S1-4 NE PC

Model number 11M32ea# ABV

Serial number [Personal Information Removed]

I purchased this on teh 13th april in Lulu Qatar with two years warranty.Having relocation issues and  breavement in family , could only go on the 19TH MAY .The unit was taken to india to be given to my son and when switched on the unit did not not work although the power was going in.

The servicing people confirmed that the mother board has to be replaced .Did Hp sell this to unsuspecting people in the guise of promotional offer , as their marketing plan to hive away defective goods ????. The  seller and the authorised repairer failed to replace the failed unit even though this was a clear case of manufacturers defect.I am leaving qatar comming week for good and is there any way of HP comming up to replace the unit by addressing an email on this subject to me . Alternatively ,if I am forced to take it back to India  either repaired or even without  being suitably repaired,  can a product liability compliant be registerd with HP.Please advice me urgently as I have just  one week before I leave qatar for good.

ProBook 6565b - Power Light Stays On

$

Hello all,

 

I have an HP ProBook 6565b that will not power on at all; no screen activity, no booting to BIOS, no fans starting, no HDD's spinning... nothing.

 

The symptoms that I'm seeing are as follows:

 

- No lights come on at all when on battery power.

 

- On AC power, the only keyboard area lights that appear is the power button stays steadily on (no blinking, just stays on). 

File_000 (1).jpeg

 

- On AC power, the only 'front' lights that appear is the Power LED (stays steady on) and the 'lightning' LED (stays steady on, but blinks 1x-2x a second; I'm assuming a 2nd LED or higher brightness blinking).

File_001 (1).jpeg

I have a feeling this is a hardware power issue, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it very far.

 

I've tried the following:

  • Removed the battery and powered it up =no start/no lights (see above)
  • Connected it to AC power and powered it up =no start/no lights (see above)
  • Removed the battery, pressed and held the power button for 30 seconds, re-inserted the battery, and tried powering on (with AC, same lights as above; with battery = no start/no lights)

Any advice? Thoughts? The laptop is out of warranty, so that's unfortunately not an option.
