My hp G61 showing black screen and capslock is blinking

[Alam11]

Hi,

I am using HP G62 which is also showing a black screen when i turn on the laptop. However the caps lock button does not blink , it actually does not glows at all. I tried to hook the laptop to another screen also, that screen also shows blank(black). Please suggest me the solutions or possible faults.

@Alam11,

You could try a hard reset as outlined in this document.  Do any lights come on, such as the power button light, indicating that is powered on in some way?

I have Compaq 615 and it is not showing display and capslock led is blinking. It blinks 5 times which means "General system board failure". Now what should I do?

Hundreds of vertical lines from one side to the other in the screen of zd8000 Pavilium. Any solution?

Hi Siboney30. That sounds like a defective display. If it occurs with lines in the BIOS, then it is probably in need of replacement.

Accessing the BIOS Setup menu:

A hard reset it probably the only troubleshooting if it happens in the BIOS.

i domt know what you error code is but try unplugging everything all the peripherals ac adapter everything connected then take the battery out plug in the ac adapter and wait for the charge light by the charge port to turn on then hold the power button for 15-20 sec go 20 just to be sure 15 is the minimum then put the battery in still with the charger plugged in and turn the system on that should solve it it was telling me i was having a cpu failure with is 1 blink and it solved it hope this helps

I had the same problem, and after reading and research it seems too be a common problem or a possible design flaw with HP.

My fix and a simple one after days of research and trying all possibilities, pull out main battery and keep it out, plug in your power cord, turn power on and let it sit for few hours, this apparently recharges internal battery that wears out from letting labtop sit idle or in sleep mode to much causing it to drain or just replace it with new battery, and voila rebooted, screen came back on and computer has ran fine since.
