- I had a Pavilion in with a flashing capslock key, classic HP failure, and I thought I'd rush through my diagnostics on the job. This video is aimed at DIY'ers who feel brave enough to open their laptop and try some potential quick fixes.
If you feel out of your depth here, find a reputable repair shop to take a look. Ask for no-fix-no-fee, because these symptoms often end badly. I was super lucky with this one.

This really worked. Thanks I just tried it now. BIOS reset
Thank you. Over a year old and still helping people. I just troubleshot a bad RAM chip with your video.
Thanks 🙏 I just removed the ram and moved it into the other slot and it worked
worked for me! thanks for the info. clear, concise.
You did good on the music syncing with the bios reset. It really got me excited to see if it would post! ahahahaha
Lol, yeah, he did. I love it when that happens in videos
That's how you explain the situation.....
Perfect job.... perfect explanation ....👍👍👍
Thank you so much I have my sons exact laptop and is doing the exact same thing that you’re saying blinking and the power is the screen is black power button on I’ve been searching since yesterday for a step-by-step thank you so much I really appreciate your continued success
Thanks to you I was able to fix my laptop! This is a very good video
Hello, another great video. I have a similar problem. I get 5 short blinks 3 longs ones. It all happened after i did a bios update. When i started the software the program told me i could not do a UEFI bios update, but there was an option. "Only Bios Update" . So i chose that, after rebooting i get this caps lock blinking. I tried to hold Windows key + b or V. But it didn't worked. Watching you're video i decided to also remove the bios battery like you did. Unfortunatly it does not have the same effect.
Thank you for this video, taking battery out of my laptop fixed this.
Thank you - an excellent demo !!
Wow you helped me.. took the CMOS bat and it worked thanks bro
Looked at lots of forums and videos. Yours was the first to suggest pulling the CMOS battery. Easiest fix of all for mine. FWIW, my light was blinking 3 long, 2 short.
Can't open screw below the DVD reader... Pl help me which tool is required
3 flashses, short ones, just removed the RAM and put it back in and worked. (I knew I wanted to open the lid and I did picked the laptop instead and I accidentally droped it).
i frequently experience this problem with my laptop, then i leave it, come back then retry it, turns on, sometimes i shake it, sometimes tilt it, and sometimes just clean the motherboard...i have never found where the problem is
Popped that silly little battery out, waited 5 minutes and popped it back in. Working again!
My laptop is a new model without a cmos battery slot, I guess it came embedded in the motherboard. I have replaced the RAM but the problem persists.
Thank you very much for this video, taking cmos battery out of my laptop did work :)
hi sir.. How about three long blinks followed by five quick blinks? What does that indicate? Has anyone experienced that issue? thank you.. hp x360 pavilion
What happens if nothing worked?
I removed the memory cards an switched the slots. Worked perfectly. 💪
I have issues of capslock 5.3 what could be the issues? How can i resolve its takes so much effort to boot the system after a shutdown
I got an issue where there's 3 long blinks. I tried reset CMOS, swap memory modules but still no post. I noticed though that the LCD driver IC gets too hot the moment I turn on the power. What can be the cause and possible solution?
wow it's worked for me thank you very much
Have Caps Lock flashing only 1 long. Let it sit unplugged for days, still only 1 long flash, so not overheating problem. Any ideas what it is and how to repair this?
I took no chances, I don't know what exactly fixed it exactly, because I did everything & my laptop came back on. Thank you very much
I have 3 long and 3 short. Is there any way to fix this problem?
Thanks for the info 🤟
Hello sir,
I have the capslock blinking 3long 5short times... What should i do?... What could be the problem
I have the same problem with an HP 15-da0002la, it is the same flash code but this laptop does not have a CMOS battery to reset it, what can I do?
I have a hp elitebook 830 G5 and the caps lock and the charger port are blinking all the time. Do you know what could be the issue? Thanks have a good day
I had the same problem, fixed it by cleaning the ram and reinserting it but then the same problem begin to happen after 2-3 days of the fix can anyone help me with it?
the bummer about my HP 820 G2... it doesn't have a bios battery!.... not a single battery to speak of except the rechargeable battery pack it comes with.... it's happened to me before... switched RAM slots and it worked.
iv had my lap top for like less than a year and it just went full stupid
I know he had just kinda tacked that saying on at the end, but after he had said that, he made me realize what had happened to my laptop, it probably overheated. My brother was using it on a bed and it just randomly shut off, so that's my new theory. I may not be able to fix it, but thank you Adament IT for making it clear to me now
@@TheSpotify95 Thank you for taking the time out of your day to reply to my 2 year old comment. I haven't messed with my old laptop in a while, but I'll keep both comments in mind. Thanks a million ✌
This looks like the same model as the HP Star Wars Special Edition laptop... wonder which specs are better
Super Video. Thanks
Is there any thing that you can't take out battery
thank you great job
what do i do if its a laptop like the hp folio?
Thanks for the video! Its a life saver!
I followed the steps you mentioned and found that one of the memory was faulty. Do I have to replace it or the computer can run on just one of those?
@@Adamant_IT thanks thanks thanks
mine is blinking the power button then the caps key 1nc every second how fix?
Thank you so much. Thought my HP 14 - 599 was dead. All I got was 3 caps lock flashes. This particular model doesnt have a CMOS battery. Removed the 1st 4gb ram & hey presto after a BIOS reload its sprang back into life & seems to be working much faster. I know now I shouldn't have bought the cheapest!!! My old Tosh never gave any trouble. I hope this comment might help someone else.
What should I do if i cant see any bios ?
I have a pile of HP and Toshiba motherboards in my shop. Nobody else can compete with that mass of failures.
Thank you very much
I have the same HP laptop and I got the same cap lock flashing pattern when I put in a bad RAM module and also when I tried to use an external GPU in the WiFi slot
how's that possible? i'm curious since i've never heard of that
It's the wifi card. I took out the wifi card and got the 5 long, 3 short caps lock flashes. I put the wifi card back in and it worked fine again.
Hello, I just have 5 long time at mine. What can it be?
You saved me so much money!!
Thank you for this very clear and instructive video.
I have a 2 long and 2 short flashes on a HP spectre x360. There is no removable CMOS battery nor RAM.
I tried switching ssd hard drive and even motherboard with another HP x360.
My ssd hd and motherboard work great when installed in the over laptop (wich means they actually work just fine)
and the working laptop's ssd hd and motherboard just don't work when installed in mine (wich means there is something else in my laptop that just can agree to work)
Any possible idea ?
messed up power rails i'd assume?
just buy a new computer
I have this same problem but whenever I reset the BIOS it works then does the same problem again. I probably have done Bios reset 20 times and everytime I reset it works straight after. What could be the problem?
P.s. it only works for few hours then the same problem
Dead mobo =/
I've had this happen to me before, I also can't stand HPs, but not just for their lack luster reliability, but also for their appalling build quality and washed out screens.
After years of HP, I'm almost blind. HP screens really devastate sight 😅
My parents bought their laptop back in late 2014 and it stopped working in early 2015. The caps lock kept blinking and there was nothing showing on the screen. Nothing in this video worked so I’m guessing it is the motherboard. I do not understand how the laptop would die out that fast 🤦🏻♂️
if it was the same flash pattern as mentioned in the video... it's a bios timeout error.
So helpfull thank you in advance👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
When I heard "time for new laptop" my buttcheek clinched. I'm gonna miss my lappy😰
This literally cracked me up 😂
Instead of the caps lock, it was all keys
whenever my laptop dies or like it randomly shuts down bc i havent used it for a long time and it had died it just binks the keys alot of times.. and then it says "recovery files, you pc needs to be repaired".. can some one PLEASE help!?
There's a lot of things that could be... software issue, HDD dying, overheating. I would see if you have a local repair shop that does free diagnostics and can find out what's wrong. In the mean time, make sure you have a backup of your files, just in case it dies completely!
thanks man
mine doesnt have a bios battery😔
i cant find my cmos battery
Help..
i see you video "LFC#145" and i have the first caps lock error (5 long 3 short blinks) i have a HP 15-ef0875ms and it don't have a battery in the mother board...
Checkout the pc monkey channel, they are good with hp
Yo did you fix it? im having the same problem
@@wiko286 F dude.. I was able to fix it with my local pc technician. He had to manually remove the BIOS chip fix it and the solder it back to the motherboard
good job this helps
So, just taking all the charge off, let it rest for 5 min and turn ??
Does it work
Mine flashes 5 times, HD spins, it's a fanless. I spilled water through USB ports, at first I hadn't noticed and went on using it. It randomly went blue screen, I force powered it off, no power and as said 5 blinkings... I disassembled it completely and blowed the board with hair dryer Now I'm leaving it apart to discharge caps and bios battery... let's see if it's turning on tomorrow
Just got on of these HPs, same caps lock LED 5-3, with any SODIMM I test in it.
Probably a dead CPU in that case :(
@@Adamant_IT Respect for replying to a comment on a 2 year old video, did you know that HP has a table with all the error codes, 5 long 3 short indicate that 'The embedded controller has timed out waiting for the BIOS.' so a bios error
@@aeronjarvis3491 hey did u somehow fixed this problem?Im having the same issue
5 long 3 short? I try everything
I had exactly the same thing when I took out the wifi card. When I put it back in, it worked again. So I think you'd have to check either the wifi card or the memory.
Same
Same
All respact for you
Not working for me,
This cpu failure or bios failure sir?
I've not looked into BIOS flashing on this kind of failure. I would definitely attempt it now, but at the time of this video I had no idea how to reprogram BIOS chips.
If it's 5 long 3 short just replace the CR2032 battery..
U sure bout that? Cuz im having the same problem
I have a HP Stream 14 and it has no screws no battery removal switches its just flat
There will be screws hidden under the rubber feet. HP love hiding screws. Not sure how serviceable a Stream 14 will be though, expect to find lots of stuff soldered in.
@@Adamant_IT I let the battery run out and Recharged it and it turned on SOmething about HP BIOS update but before I charged it the caps lock was blinking 5 times slow and 4 times fast I'm not sure if it works with everyone's computer but I think you can just do what I did Because all I did was shut the computer down and I tried to turn it back on the screen wasn't on but the caps lock was just blinking but can you test this on that computer and see if it works for that computer.
My old pavilion dv7 works fine. Aida stress test 1 hour, everthing is ok. Restart the laptop and black screen, cap and num lock flash onnce with 4 second pause.
Changed psu. Changed ram. nothing. Wait for a while. like 1 hour. and all is good. Working all day long
got too hot....if the CPU gets over 100c it will go into thermal shutdown and refuse to start with the caps key flashing every 4 seconds (indicates thermal shutdown)
I have xiaomi laptop. Don't know if you've heard of the brand it is a Chinese brand but very reputable. Only thing wrong with it is that it has the worst battery life I've ever seen on a laptop and it gets very hot.
Meanwhile my hp Envy, the memory module was soldier on board and I got something burnt on the board.
HP engineers must be blamed and fired.
U r a fuckin hero dude. Appreciate u so much. sucbscribed, i dont know on how im gonne use ur videos tho lol.
WHY ME IF HAD THIS LAPTOP FOR YEARS I BOUGHT IT FOR MY OWN BIRTHDAY!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺 I EVEN SPENT MOST TIME ON ITT 😔😵 I FEEL LIKE IM ACTUALLY ABOUT TO FAINT WHY ME WHYY I HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE :( :( :( I NEED TO TRY I HOPE THIS WORKS BTW THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE !
