My problem is one day my dv5z will not even get to Windows Icon. Screen stays black while the Caps and Scroll buttons just keep blinking. Other keyboard lights are on too, but no displays. Have checked ram banks(switching), no change.
I am thinking some how the bios/cmos files were corrupted or something? Nothing happened the last time i used the laptop. Just would not start the next day. powers up thats it, but no load. Tried recovery disks but they do nothing either.
Nothing runs. Even tried a Linux load(Ubutu) which has worked for me when trying to fix other PCs. Nada?
Any ideas before i have to spend money getting a shop to diagnos? I wondered if the CMOS battery RTC might be dead and is keeping something from loading? I have worked on older desktops which failed to start because battery was dead.
Thanks for any ideas people.
