HP Recommended
Product: HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p253nu

Hello!

I have HP Pavilion 15 Notebook 15-p253nu laptop. I have this laptop for ~5 years now. Everything was fine. For the last couple of months I noticed the laptop was slowly performing and I decided to reset Windows - I installed Windows media installation tool, I opened it and let it run while it was pre-installing my Windows 10 without keeping any files/data. I let it run for hour or two and when I came back I saw that the screen was dark and the CAPSLOCK key was blinking 2 times. I googled it and here are the things I've already tried but don't seem to work:

-According to the HP official light signals table this is BIOS Failure, I bought USB flash drive stick and installed on it the last BIOS for my device from the official HP Support site, and made the flash drive runnable with FAT32 format. Tried to flash the bios from the stick with WIN+B key + Power key and also with WIN+V key, the screen keeps being black but the fan started to run very fast and loud. Left it to run for an hour and nothing changed.

-Reset the BIOS through holding power button.

-Removed CMOS battery from the board.

And lastly - tried to reset the BIOS by holding the WIN+B key with the Power key but after that the CAPS LOCK Key stopped flashing 2 times but still the screen remains black.

Please help me out with this. I can't seem to find anything related to this kind of issue.


Thanks in advance!
