bios wont start even after repair

Hi @dantw,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I understand your BIOS won't boot even after a repair attempt. There are several steps you can take to further diagnose and potentially resolve the issue:
 

Verify Power Supply: Ensure that your computer is receiving power. Check all power connections, including the power cable, power outlet, and any internal connections to the power supply.

Check for Hardware Issues:
 

• RAM Memory: Reseat the RAM modules. If you have multiple sticks, try booting with one stick at a time to identify if a module is faulty.
   
• Peripheral Devices: Disconnect all peripheral devices except for the keyboard and monitor to ensure that none of these are causing conflicts.

Reset BIOS Settings:
 

• Clear CMOS: Refer to your HP computer's manual for instructions on how to clear the BIOS memory (Clear CMOS), which will reset all BIOS settings to default. This often involves using a jumper on the motherboard or removing the CMOS battery temporarily.

Flash the BIOS Again:
 

• If possible, try re-flashing the BIOS to the latest version using a recovery USB with the BIOS update. Follow the instructions provided by HP for performing a BIOS update safely.
   
• Ensure that the BIOS update file and the flashing process are compatible with your HP computer model.

Inspect for Visual Damage: Check for any visible damage inside the computer case like burnt components or swollen capacitors on the motherboard, which may indicate a hardware failure.


I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
