This comment is for the folks watching in hopes of finding a clue as to what's up and how to fix their machine and is not intended as a bash or derogatory comment at the video's creator. At 1:08, you say you should have assumed it wasn't the inverter. Actually, you should have known that much earlier. There was no hard drive LED activity showing a drive booting, no beeping during the POST, and no keyboard lights showing or even callable by pressing Num Lock, Caps Lock, etc.. If it was a simple matter of a bad inverter, the rest of the machine would function as usual. Nice work on the BIOS recovery by the way.

Same model computer, but with i7 processor... turns on fully maybe 10% of the time and works correctly. But if the power goes out or you shut it down by accident, it can take hours of turning it on/off before the HP logo will finally appear and Windows 10 then boots up. I'm figuring the board has gone flakey (checked all connectors pulled and replaced memory etc), seen it happen on other AiO computers by Dell, Lenovo, Pick-Ur-Poisen! They just don't make 'em like they used to. On the hunt for a good working take-out motherboard now or will recycle it if I get tired of searching. Personally, I have 2 Lenovo A730 AiO computers with 27" Quad HD Touchscreens and love these things (both are used/parts only computers I rebuilt, off Ebay for less than $200 each after acquiring needed replacement parts). Regards!

Great vid! Looks similar to what I am experiencing. I have blank screen, no beep codes, and usb ports don't work. I think I need to do this even if it the motherboard is bad, so I can grab the windows product key stored in the bios. Were you able to recover the windows key? If so, how? Thanks again. Cheers!

No, you cant recover the Windows key from a corrupt bios, this data is corrupt by definition.

If I understand well bios battery need to be removed before process? as you did mention at the end you need to give it back. And if I may know how did you find out and was so sure it is bios problem? I think there could be tons of failures which can lead to black screen, or am I wrong somewhere?

Hi, thanks for the kind words, but unfortunately I have no experience with trying this procedure on a Dell. I would hazard a guess that if your mainboard has the same header that you see in this video, then I see no reason why the general process would be any different (of course, using your correct bios for your Dell). But if your mainboard has a different (or missing) header, then you may have search around for another solution.

Hey Bigslick. I am trying to repair an HP Envy 23-o014 - all-in-one that wont boot after a failed bios update. It goes to the HP screen and then eventually says "Press the esc key for startup menu". I have tried guessing at CMOS reset pins, removing CMOS battery, booting from USB to reflash (cant because cant even get to boot menu). I wanted to try your reflash method and have the arduino and all parts, but I cannot figure out which pins are which. My PC does not have a seperate labelled ROM recovery section. I am uessing I need to use the 8 pins that are near the CMOS battery, but they are not labelled beyonf numbers 1-8. Do you know if I am correct that I need to use theses PINs? I cannot find any documentation on the motherboard to figure out which pins are which. The only info on the board that I see is DAONZDMB6E0 REV:E and Model: NZD The board I have is pictured here: www.newegg.com/p/1JW-000M-00HB3 If you are at all inclined to help, it would be very much appreciated, either here or via email. errorhelp at gm@il dot c0m

Thank you for this video. How do you confirm that the Arduino is being picked up by the Ubuntu laptop? Also, I noticed you didn't use a Raspberry Pi as specified in the website/post by Marcus.... is using the laptop an easier/better way?
@bigslick7 жыл бұрын
1) The Raspberry Pi is WAY WAY overthinking the situation and unnecessary device for fixing your HP pc. All a Raspberry Pi is...is a cheap underpowered Linux computer. If you already own another PC, just run Linux from that. Since I had an old laptop and a spare HD, I just installed Linux on it. You could do the same with any older PC, desktop or laptop, but a laptop is convenient because you can easily carry it to the HP you need to fix. 2) When you start issuing the commands from " ls -l dev/ttyACM0 " and down in my list from the NOTES section above..., if the Arduino has not been recognized by Linux yet, you would get an error message on the command line from Linux. Be advised that this is a VERY geeky project. It will be difficult for anyone without basic Linux experience, or someone who had never worked with other command line interfaces, such as MS-DOS or vintage computers (such as a C64, TI-99/4A, or other early computers that required command-line control to accomplish a task).

Another thing, when I plug everything up to the ROM pins on the HP envy and finally plug the Arduino into the USB for power the LED on the motherboard lights up for a split second and then shuts off... any idea whats causing this also? Do you have to use a separate wall power to power the Arduino or would USB be suffice? I followed your way as you suggested instead of doing all of the RPi stuff.

The 2nd product link that I provided is for a power pack that powers the Arduino, so yes... the Arduino needs a separate power pack. It is NOT usb powered.

I have an HP that is also showing a blank screen but when I turn on the power button I hear it booting up, even getting the windows startup sounds. If it's truly booting up but not displaying video, then BIOS would not be the issue correct?
@bigslick6 жыл бұрын
If you are sure that windows is booting, then the bios is fine as far as I can think... so you probably have a hardware problem. Check the lcd inverter board -- a cheap option to try and easy to replace.

What I would of had done is look for the latest bios update and install it to the flash drive. Remove the cmos battery first and let it sit for 2 whole minutes, then put cmos battery back and boot to bios select boot manager or boot order and select usb key first in boot order and it will flash the bios at next bootup. If the computer does not boot then I would attempt to use a jumper.
@bigslick7 жыл бұрын
That does not work with this problem, which is why the video exists in the first place. In other words, the failsafe bios recovery is corrupted. Thus, the need for remote flashing.
