Scroll/Num Lock and Caps Lock LED's blinking and battery not charging

[profeortiz]

I had the same problem. it when the battery is bad or does not charge, remove it and boot the pc.  Problem will go away.  You need to replace you battery.

KEEP CALM BECAUSE THE WIZARD HAS FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!

Okay listen up, 

Hard Reset won't fix this.

Memory replacement won't fix this.

Blowing/Cleaning it won't fix this ( although it might need it lol )

Errors are stored on the bios, bios needs to be reset.

How you say? easy, replace the CMOS battery with another one or a new one.

THIS WILL FIX IT!

I AM 99.9% SURE IT WILL!!!

WIZ out!

Please be nice enough to reply if this solved the issue. thank you.

Just to add to your solution Wizard, if the CMOS battery does not help do an

emergency bios reflash even if the cap and number locks flash 3 times.

My memory slots would not work and the memory controller is on the CPU

so I did the Bios reflash and board came back to life so bad bios can result

in 2 or 3 flashes.

Hi, can you show me how to do a bios flash? I have a pavilion dv4 with this problem

Mine was a bad stick of RAM. Remove all the sticks and put one in and see if it boots. If it doesn't try the other. If if boots then you'll know it's that stick of RAM. If it boots after all are placed back in then it most likely just needed to be reset. If that doesn't work try removing the battery and press and hold the power button and then plug it in to diaxhaege the mother board.

Hi there,

Thank you for responding. Yes, well i knew what the problem was all along, but i didn't want to believe it. And no, unfortunately the ram and CMOS battery are all fine. The board itself was the problem. The problem is in the GPU chip. required a re-flow. I performed a re-flow to the board and got it up and running for almost 3 months with no problem till recent 2 weeks where the gpu gave up again. Wasn't worth a second re-flow so i bought a new board on eBay and called it a day. Found it for $70 NEW.... Pc is working perfectly.

Apparently, it was really a board problem. The 100% SUREFIX!!!!! SOLUTION i tried and highly suggest is to buy a different brand of laptop.
