HP Compaq CQ56 Lockups :: Does Not Boot Even Bios Not Reachable
Nov 8, 2014
I own a CQ56-203SG Laptop which was doing fine for years (I do not remember when I bought it). No misuse, no hard hits. New HP Battery since a few month.No difficulties before. Used it with Ubuntu which worked perfect! No M$Windows ever touched this machine. It does not boot any more. Even BIOS is not reachable.Start by pressing the power button leads to: Light in power button is on, orange light in key F12 is on, white light in CapsLock key is slowly blinking. No signal by coded blinking recognised.
Fan is on, slowly, constant.Monitor remains dark. HD lamp does one short flicker when powered on, remains dark then. It does NOT make a difference if lid is closed or open. Obviously even going to BIOS is not working. Last status before failure:OS working, lid closed, machine was sleeping.Did not wake up. After several attempts it woke up exactly once. After restart it remained dark for ever. Formerly all that worked fine for years. I tried to power down completely including battery remove and then press power button to drain capacitors. No result. I tried the Win + b keystroke combination, no result. Machine dead.

I have a compaq presario CQ56 - 154CA laptop. I wiped the hard drive using DriveCleanser in TrueImage Home 2011 and then attempted to load the recovery manager with F11 (or F10 or whatever it is), but now all I get is a red screen with the big Q logo with "press ESC for startup menu" on the bottom left and it just hangs there. I did wipe the Win7 and the System partitions, but not the Recovery partition. I did do a backup of those 3 partitions onto my external drive, but the laptop won't boot from a bootable flash drive I made in True Image, nor any of my boot CD's. And I did set the bios to boot from flash first, then DVD, then hard drive before wiping.
I didn't make the recovery DVD's with Recovery Manager in Win7, but I shouldn't need them since the Recovery partition is still there.
I've read that some Compaq laptops use a utility on the hard drive to load the bios, startup menu etc, so if that is the case with mine then it was thoroughly deleted. If this is the case, is there any way I can get it back on the drive?
If not, I could try to remove the drive and put it in an ext enclosure and hook it up to my desktop. It's possible that I can use the flash drive to use True Image to restore the two wiped partitions. Also, I've read that in this instance, removing the drive and then turning on the laptop may allow the bios to load, but I'd really rather not take out the drive if I don't have to.

I updated BIOS (it's now Hewlett-Packard F.49) with a download from HP's website. I wish I hadn't done that because it made my laptop ill. When booting up it freezes and the only thing I see is the black screen with HP logo. No button works.
Later I've found out that BIOS itself ain't the problem (I tried to recover the old version for long without any success), it's the USB devices attached or the USB ports, dunno. My laptop boots normally and works perfectly if I take off all the USB plug-ins before I press the power button. After the black screen has passed I can plug in the USBs and they work too.URL....

The audio just stopped. On troubleshooters everything else is apparently OK and the problem does not show up in the device manager. Is there a replaceable part? It is of course just out of warranty.

I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ56 notebook computer. It was set up correctly when I bought it, everything worked perfectly. I somehow managed to get a virus which prevented me from even turning on my computer (Which is odd, because I'm not an idiot with computers, and I know what not to download/sites to visit), so I had to reset my computer back to stock, I used my Windows 7 disk, formatted the partitions and installed windows again.
Now, for some reason it won't connect wirelessly to the internet. It connects when I have an ethernet cable plugged in, but it won't find any networks, as shown in this screen shot:
I'm not sure what's causing it, but I guess it must be a driver issue?
Here's another screenshots :
It works fine when I have my laptop plugged into the internet, when I'm at uni, but when I come home on a weekend I can't bring my laptop back, because I only have WiFi back home.

My Compaq Mini CQ10-150CA just started asking me to enter Current Password. I get three attempts then it displays
"Password check failed. Fatal Error... System Halted. CNU0095JS7"
What does this mean? What caused it to just start happening all the sudden?

I have a Compaq Presario CQ56-115dx and an HP 16gb flash drive that will not work with the computer. The flash drive works with my HP Pavilion laptop, but not with the Compaq. I have a 4gb HP flash drive that works with the computer just fine, along with a few SanDisk ones. I don't think that it's the USB drivers because my other flash drives work with the computer just fine. I really need to use the flash drive to back up information from the Compaq computer.

I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ56-112SA Notebook which has WIndows 7 Home Edition OS. I would like very much to install Ubuntu 12.04 OS on its own partition to dual boot with Windows. However, my understanding is that the Notebook has 4 primary partitions on the HDD that are already used and therefore no more partitions can be made. I can shrink the 'C' drive partition to make space but I understand I also have to free up a whole partition. I know I can install Ubuntu 'Inside' Windows but I would rather not.
Some contributors say one can safely delete HP-Tools to provide a partition for Ubuntu but others advise not to because HP-Tools contains a BIOS recovery kit which, they say, is essential.

I got this laptop a few days ago, I currently have 7 and XP installed on it and kind of have vista...(read further down).
My 7 seemed to break today after playing around with a program called powerstrip trying to get my external monitor to show the right resolution (I've realised now the cable vga was broke, but meh) but this is not the full problem, after windows 7 failed to boot I tried to boot xp after turning it off during the windows 7 splash screen and now im stuck with a dash when I turn the laptop on (I dont know if its actully related to something I've done or not).
If I turn the laptop on a flashing dash comes on in the top right, it then stops flashing and turns into a none flashing dash further up the screen and just locks here and I cant do anything at all other than trying to restart it. When I had this problem previously (at least I think this problem) on my desktop it usualy turned out to be something usb related but I have everything unplugged (all though the bluetooth adapter light is on when it is doing this) so I realy dont know what to do...............

I get the error in the Title after i tried to flash the latest BIOS update for the Z510. I can press ok and then get into the boot manager but i cant choose anything there. Also I cant boot from a Disk with e.g. XP on it.
I also tried the Inside BIOS crisis mode (fn+r) with the BIOS file on my USB drive but it doesn't work and tries to access the file on the USB drive but boots normally instead to the error again. (Couldn't try it with removed battery as I have to remove the whole back to remove the battery on the Z510).

I'm running on an HP G72-b66US Notebook with Windows 7 64-bit
Every time I boot it up, I see the Hp logo appear and then go away after a few seconds like usual but instead of seeing the Windows logo, theres just a blank black screen command prompt and nothing happens at all. I did a self hard drive test and memory test in bios and they both passed. I tried going into the system recovery option on startup and it does the same as when I start it up and go to that blank command prompt.

Today I tried to turn on my laptop but the power on light only blinked.
I have tried hard resetting it by taking out the battery and holding the power button for 30 seconds.
The button power button, f12 key, and cd button keeps blinking unless i take the battery out.
The ac adapter is working and I think the battery is ok because the led is blinking while i have no ac connected.

I have a Hp pavilion dv6700 series (dv6840el) and it just won't boot without the battery attached.
If i plug the AC adapter, i get some computer activity (fan, dvd drive noise and HD drive spins) for about 5 seconds and then shuts down.
Once i plug the battery (which is dying, needing a replacement), the laptop boots fine.
So, my question is: is this a motherboard or an AC adapter issue?
The AC adapter seems ok, though. But if i'm considering to buy a spare battery, i must make sure that i don't need a new AC adapter as well.

I was using my notebook pc when it suddenly crashed with the BSOD popping up giving the error:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
Technical Information: ***STOP: 0x000000ED (OxFFFFFA8005252870,0xFFFFFFFFC00000B5,Ox0000000000000000,Ox0000000000000000)
On restarting I was given two options:
1. Launch Startup Repair - Choosing option 1 gave me an error message HP Recovery window stating - Create file fail. On clicking Ok, it takes me to another screen (HP recovery manager window) stating Recovery not supported under current configuration, please enable accelearation option for intel Smart Technology and try again. When I click Ok the screen closes and the computer shuts off.
2. Start Windows Normally - Choosing Option 2 gets me back to the BSOD with the same error
Then I tapped on F8 while stating up. I was given a host of options:
1. Repair your computer - Error window (Windows Script Host) Script: X:Rita-toolStart.vbs; Line: 93; Char:14; Eror: The system cannot find the file specified; Code 80070002; Sourcenull). then it goes back to the error reported earlier for Launch Startup repair
2. Safe mode - BSOD same error
3. Safe mode with networking
4. Safe mode with command prompt
5. Enable boot logging
6. Enable low-resolution video (640x480)
7. Last known good configuration (Advanced) - BSOD same error
8. Directory Services Restore mode
9. Debugging mode
10. Disable automatic restart on system failure
11. Disable driver signature enforcement
12. Start Windows normally
I did not try any of the other options as I was not sure what it was. Then I tapped F2 while starting up and went into the HP Advanced Systems Diagnostics screen. There were a lot of options for running tests.
Every test I run ends up as failed. Failure ID: 0U6G3A-63C785-MFPX0J-60R803. It always says Hard Disk Short DST: Failed
Bottom line is any option I take it gives me one of two errors, either the BSOD UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME or the error that my repair utility cannot create a file.
My system information:
Model: HP Pavilion g6 2010tx Notebook PC
Processor type: Intel Core i3-2350M CPU @2.30Ghz
Current Processor Speed: 2300MHz
Memory Size: 4096 MB RAM
