[HP Omni 10 5601TW] Tablet won't boot after BIOS update

[foroughi9300]

Please everyone with black screen problem describe your beep sound.

you have to listen very carefully because its frequuency is quite low but can be heared....

on AC power i hear BEEEEEEEEP-------BEEEEEEEEEEP--------------....

on battery i hear beep----beep----beep----.....

I didn't notice that beep sound but I will check it again.

Anyway, unless HP offers us a solution, we can not fix this problem by ourselves.

How did you make the USB BIOS recovery stick?   I read that you need the HP UEFI BIOS utility but I don't see that in the Omni 10 downloads.

Since my warranty has expired I opened the tablet which I heared the beep. I have provided a picture.

(it seems microsoft edge cannot pass upload form...)

I used the HP UEFI Diagnostic utility and unreleased F09 bios. Here are the links...

f09 bios:

utilities...:

I used 71007.exe and 71008.exe. the Second one Hp mentions as a tool to recover bioses but file is large (~1.2gb)

Thank you foroughi9300,

I checked the image you attached and I think the only way is welding another good bios chip to replace.

We will see....

Dear all,

For those who got black screen can try my method but please try to hold till you see light on your screen. That's the point I got my tablet worked.

Hope you can do it successfully.

It really worked for my tablet, but may be it was a luck; I don't know too. Just try this method!!!

That F.09 BIOS posted in the German forum is from 2013.  Pretty sure that has nothing to do with this tablet.

How long did you hold the combo for?

If the tablet is off as a starting point (ie. Pressing the Windows logo touch button makes no vibration when touched):

Press and hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Power Button.
Immediately 1 short 'power on' type vibration
15 secs later another short vibration
5-10 secs later a longer vibration (if release the buttons at this point and press the Windows touch button there is no effect ie. the tablet is simply off?)
(If continue to hold the buttons after the long vibrate then there is immediately 1 short 'power on' type vibration 5-10 secs later a longer vibration)

This can continually loop for as long as I hold them down with no indication of lights or the screen changing. At what point in this loop should I release the buttons SonicR?

anybody any breakthrough ????!!!

I haven't slept 3 days and night just searching for a solution...

Device reads the usb (led flashes on usb stick) but nothing happens... I wonder what the name on .bin file is?!!

I have tried so many combinations...

I don't know exact time when we should release the combo key. But I saw first bright on screen, but it didn't boot to bios recovery. So I try second time when I saw a light, I immediately release my combo keys. Everything worked. It booted into bios recovery screen and do things automatically. That was what it worked.
