Product: HP Pavilion g4-1016dx Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The laptop didn't come with Windows 10.  It came with Windows 7 Home Premium, but obviously I've updated it.

The Caps-lock light blinks twice during startup and it takes 20+ minutes to boot from the "Press ESC to enter Startup" Startup Screen with the HP logo.  All issues point to corrupted BIOS, but because I'm using my Android phone to access hp.com it won't let me past the device OS screen.....so here I am.

 

Is there a BIOS update for this device and can someone please send me a direct link, please?

Thank you in advance,

Justin
