HP Pavilion 590-p0100na working just fine until I tried to remove MacAffee and some other software. Now when I turn it on it won't even go to the BIOS. Just hangs. I hear a little bit of the drive and then nothing. No clue what to do here.

Unplug from wall and press the on button 2-3 times

Plug back in and hold down the on button for 15 - 20 seconds

Try tapping the ESC key and see if you can run diagnostics.

Tried that. Went through all the steps of trying to reboot and reinstall BIOS. Turning on the machine and pressing any key does nothing. Holding power down longer for 4 seconds turns it off.

If you reinstalled the BIOS you will need to clear the CMOS.

It probably should be done using jumpers or removing the battery.

Unplug from wall. Press power button 2-3 times to discharge capacitors, then open case.

Touch metal case with finger before popping battery off

The 15 second test is supposed to start with the system off. Hold the power button down for 15-20 then release.

Tried that already. Took case off, popped out battery. Put battery back in, plugged back in. Held for 20 seconds.

Still no luck.

Have you tried the USB flash recovery? 2nd part of 3 in the link below

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_3932413-2337994-16

after downloading and running sp149515.exe use the "create a recover USB" on an 8gb flash that has LED lights

use the file manager to go into the flash drive and copy and paste the two below files into the root of the USB.

Do not move them, copy from "Hewlett-Packard\DIOS\New" to the root of the USB

0843B.bin

0843B.sig

Try booting the flash drive and watch the light to see if it loads. If you do not see it load, then try the WIn + B key

and see if those files can load.

It is possible to buy a bios, replace motherboard, or flash using an inexpensive USB tool that attaches to the bios chip on the motherboard.

You can always get a quote from HP

Nothing. Copied files to root of USB and booted holding down WIndows + B.
