HP Recommended
Product: 6530b

I havee a 6530b laptop, when I try to start it, there is no video and thre are two blinking icons above the keyboard. Both look like padlocks. One has an "A' beside it the other has the number "1" beside it. Is this the reason for the lack of video? How can I bypass this to get into the BIOS?

 

I was able to correct the problem of no video. I disconnected the AC Adapter(I have no battery), removed the CMOS battery and waited several minutes. I then put the CMOS battery back, connected the AC Adapter and it started with video and seems to be working now.
