HP Spectre x360 15-bl112dx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Please help. My BIOS file appears to have been corrupted. When I try to boot up the laptop, the caps lock light just keeps blinking forever but the laptop doesn't start. It's a Spectre x360. Any known fix for this?

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,

I understand that your HP notebook Bios is corrupted. If you have already performed the steps from the document HP Notebook PCs - Computer Does Not Start: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03518165 and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure. 

And, also try the below-recommended steps:

  • Firstly, remove the hard drive from the computer.
  • Once the hard drive is removed, turn on the computer without the hard drive- While booting as the computer doesn’t detect a hard drive, it’ll automatically roll back to the previous bios.
  • Put the HDD back in and turn it ON. It might give an error about the improper shutdown. Just click continue and it should boot to windows.

Please reach out to HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your computer. HP Support can be reached by clicking on the following link: www.hp.com/contacthp/             
 

Hope this helps!
