Hello,

 

I just turned on my pavilion dv6 laptop (almost three years old) and it doesn't boot. Instead, I get a blackscreen.

The capital block and the numerical block lights turn on and off all the time, but I can't do anything. I can't enter the bios, the recovery or anything. My computer just appears to be on limbo and I can only turn it off by pressing the power button.

 

I have windows 7.

 

Thank you very much for your support

Hi,

 

Thanks for the help.

 

I looked around and tried to flash it with a usb but it didn't worked.

 

I took it to repair and it turned out there was some part broken, some chip, due to overheating or something.

 

So that's it, problem solved.

 

Thanks again for the support.
