Product: DV6-6118SL
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit) 
the pc does not start now and capslock flashes twice.

I have tried various systems to recover the bios but I don't know which ones should work.
What are the valid precedences for this model?
If they don't work, what can I do?
 
Thank

Hello, 
I had already read this page but the bios of my notebook didn't ask to create a usb recovery drive.
I found a link where he explained how to decrypt the bios.
I created a usb drive by installing "HP BIOS Update UEFI" and "HP System Diagnostics UEFI" from "software and drive" page..
I inserted the decrypted BIOS file in the "X:/Hewlett-Packard/BIOS/Current" folder.
The win + B restore function has started.
Finally everything is ok.

To create a USB recovery drive, download and install the BIOS from this link.
