Omen screen black no response

jagbad99 · ‎03-02-2023

Hello, so bought this computer (OMEN by HP Laptop PC - 15-ax010ca, model 7265ngw) and was told it needs a bios reinstall. i am not tech savvy at all but it was a good deal so i thought id have a go. so far nothing has worked that ive tried, but i also only have tried the suggestions ive seen online. So it turns on, the fan runs, the backlit keyboard works but the screen is black. i tried to get into bios by holding down windows + v when turning on the computer but it just turned off the backlit keys. i dont really know where to go from here. the guy said id need to hook it up to a tv and use an hdmi cord, but i have no idea how to go about that. any help is appreciated!!

What you should try is is restoring the last working BIOS.

If that does not work, from a different PC perform the following as described in the video below. You will need a blank, preferably mainstream brand, USB flash drive. Use the USB 2.0 Type-A port.

the screen does not work at all... bios does not come up. i dont have a second windows computer either, just a macbook air.

I suggest that you try it on another Windows PC.

Ask a family member of friend, perhaps even at a Public library, as long as the USB ports are not locked down.

Mac OSes are a different world than here. We do Windows and Linux OS.

No.

"the guy said id need to hook it up to a tv and use an hdmi cord," That would be to verify that the display is or is not the issue.

I do not understand why the "guy" did not do that with a different display of your were at a laptop repair shop.

If the BIOS is corrupt it may very be why you do not have video output. Laptop displays don't fail often.

Use the Windows laptop just as described in the video to create the BIOS rescue flash drive

Create the recovery flash drive to repair the corrupted BIOs firmware that is causing the issue.

Have you followed the BIOS repair with keystroke video on using the Windows key + B?

Windows key + B, not V!

You have to hold the key down together for sometimes almost a minute before the firmware reacts and shows the repairing process taking place.
