hi i had blank screen for over 3 weeks then used another laptop watched your video how you removed the battery then pluged it in after an hr YES ,YES THIS WORKED THANK YOU NOW I AM USING MY FIXED BLANK SCREEN LAPTOP TO COMMENT thanks once again have a good day
Thanks for taking the time to put this up here. Frankly, I'm always a little impressed by the altruism of folks like you willing to juggle a camera even in the midst of diagnosis of some electronic or mechanical repair. I'm usually too swept up in the task at hand to bother. My trusty older little 14" HP Pavilion g4-1016dx has been up to the same black screen tricks for some time. On advice found elsewhere, I'd been just letting it sit with the black screen and battery in, then rebooting after an hour or three with the power button, having heard this pause in the black could somehow sort of jump-start its elderly little internal CMOS battery weakened with age. And mostly it's worked with some patience. I hadn't heard that the main battery in place somehow diverts power from the internal CMOS one, but I'm giving it a whirl in the black without that external battery in place now. Even if it doesn't pan out, I still appreciate your taking the time to put your advice up here.
Sadly, your main battery out technique didn't do the trick for my ailing HP. I'd already fussed around with removing and replacing the memory cards. I suppose the next step would be to replace the little CMOS battery and see if that fixes it. I don't look forward to that surgery, but unless you or someone else knowledgeable have an alternative to offer, I assume that's the next step, short of just retiring the elderly old thing.
Leaving the battery out for an hour didn't work, bit leaving the battery out for six hours and leaving the laptop on worked great. Thank you for sharing this video with the world, it certainly fixed mine.
Thanks, that is great to know. I'm glad this process is working. I was almost ready to junk my old lap top before I figure this out. I would imagine that different laptops do behave differently, so I wouldn't be surprised that it can take much longer in some cases. Thanks for the information!
jaynes network hey my laptops display is blank but when I flash flashlight on the display I can see the contents on the display like a dull screen. Is this my display problem or can these steps fix it.thank you
You have dead screen invertor. It is usually placed below screen under the screen frame. You should take it out and place working one. On ebay it's around $10.
@@jaynesnetwork Nothing worked for me :( My screen Still does Not light up..... No matter what i do, the RAM, Battery Trick, 1 Hour charge trick, Nothing will work :(
Hey man, I never comment on youtube, but you've earned it! My Hp Dv7 4190us laptop couldn't post on BIOS. After your "1 hour charging advice" was taken, the thing was brought back to life! You are really a lifesaver, thanks a lot! Regards from Brazil
I'm glad it helped.. Make sure to back up your data while your computer is working ok. You never know when it will start acting up again.. Thank you for the great comments!!!
I'm glad this method worked out for a lot of people. I looked into this issue because my neighbor's HP had the same problem. To clarify, this has nothing to do with the Bios battery not charging, in fact the Bios battery is not a rechargeable battery. This is an issue with the motherboard, a problem that results from poor soldering from the manufacturer. Essentially what you're doing with this method is a "reflow" of the motherboard chips. You can hear the fans going full blast after a few minutes of running it with the battery off, this happens because it is overheating. That overheating has the ability to reflow the soldering on the motherboard. This method won't work for everyone because some may have other motherboard issues. I'm disappointed in HP and unfortunately its not the first time I've been disappointed in HP. I'd stay away from HP products.
Yes I completely agree... This is the conclusion I had come to, and have been stating this in the chat every chance I can.. Thanks for the great insight! You are absolutely correct!!! Thanks!!! It is most likely due to a bad solder joint on the mother board.. in some cases it can be caused by memory stick not properly seated as well... Thanks again!
Thanks for this video. Removing the battery, leaving the power on and charging it for over an hour fixed the frozen black screen on my HP Pavilion dv6.
Thank you so much for posting this! I was ready to give up and take my laptop in to a shop but luckily I found this video and tried it. I had to run mine for longer than an hour but still did the trick!
Thank u soooo much this video help me to fix my laptop especially the last step.. and I make this account just to thank you. You really make a big favor to me Thanks a lot :)
I'm glad it helped. Better try to get your data off and backed up while you can. This fix may not last forever, but it will give you a little more time.. best of luck, thanks again...
I did exactly what you said and it worked. Before that, I've seen other videos on TH-cam and tried them, but none of them worked. Glad that finally found yours. Thank you so much!!! You saved my laptop, now I can make powerpoint slides for my online class!!!
Man I had a blank screen on my old Toshiba computer for 3 years and 6 months to the date before I watched your video. Was literally thinking bout just throwing it out the other day. Now it works perfectly fine. Thank you so much for sharing this jewel!! Much appreciated.
I'm glad it helped. You should probably try to back up any important you may have on this machine.. you never know how much longer it will go before it has another problem.. best of luck, and thanks for the great comments...
i just remove my battery and then charge just as you said when i start my laptop it make click sound (it happens when you press and hold the power button for 20 sec while your computer is running) and then i again press the power button and then the laptop starts. Lol I don't even have to wait for an hour I don't know what on the earth just happen but really dude it worked Thank you Soo much!
I'm glad it worked.. Be sure to back up any important data on that machine, while it is working. You never know when it might have problems again.. Thanks again for the great comments...
Jeunsesse Lady: if your computer starts to make a clicking sound that means your mother board will soon brake down and you'll need to replace it, so be sure to back up and save any important data or pictures. This happen to my computer 💻
I don't know what to say to thank you. I was in 3rd day of googling for this problem. I believed it's cpu or main board problem. Then I found this video and gave it a try. It was not successful, but it gave me the idea if the CMOS battery is the problem. I bought a 2032 battery, replaced CMOS battery, and voilà! It worked! Now you're one of the most important people in my life. Thanks for your knowledge, and thanks for sharing it. You saved me a laptop, and nowadays it's like half a year's salary for me. I must finish the comment because it's not an essay :)) thank you again sir.
Thanks so much! Be sure to subscribe.. then you will be notified when I release new videos! Glad you were able to fix the computer! Thanks\ you so much!
Thank You!!! The battery removal and 1-hour charge worked! I really didn't expect it to work (especially since this was for a HP G7-1075dx). The laptop has been kaput for over a year and this was the last ditch before the dumpster. Thanks again for the info!
I'm glad it helped. Be sure to back up your data while it is still working OK. You never know how long it will be before something else happens.. Thanks again..
@@jaynesnetwork Thanks again,had my pic's backed up ,maybe a f11 restore is in order,also is not easy to check the memory chips on this little atom,back does not remove easily,No screws is one piece.Glad the other checks were enough.
Thanks alot thanks so much, you saved me, I was using my friend laptop when the black screen appeared. I was almost paying another laptop everyone was furious with me. Thanks alot 🙏🙏🙏
Hi! Thank you very much for your post. I tried your suggestion to connect my unit to the charger for one hour without the battery. it worked! Saved me money for repair not to mention anxiety. Great help. If the problem recurs, I might consider replacing the BIOS battery with a new one.
Your welcome. Be sure to get your important data off, because, never sure how long this fix will last. I am planning to try to change the BIOS battery too, when I get a little more time. I will post a new video if successful... thanks again.. Best of Luck....
Your welcome, I'm glad it helped. The computer may still have issues, so I would recommend backing up all your important data before something else happens, best of luck..
Thank you so much. This saved me several hundred pounds as I did not need to buy a new laptop. Wish I seen this video two months ago. Now we can watch movies on the TV again!
i did the last part by removing the battery and letting it charge for about an hour, and when i went to power it back on, awesome the laptop screen came back on perfect. saved me a lot of money going to a repair shop. this guy is great. fyi my laptop was the HP Pavilion model and it still worked same technique.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I would never of thought to try this! I thought my laptop was dead with the black screen and flashing caps lock. This worked leaving it on without the battery, it just started itself up and working! Thank you!! :👏🙌😄😄😄
I don't think the problem is the BIOS battery. First of all, it's not a rechargeable battery so you can't give it a charge boost. Second, even if the BIOS battery is dead that's not a reason for the computer not to start. This battery's sole responsibility is to keep the BIOS settings but the boot process would start. Now the real problem - some HP laptops, including G62, overheat like crazy. That makes the metallic parts to expand and when the computer cools off - they shrink. Eventually that will cause the connection between the motherboard and the graphic adapter to fail. So why your method works? By leaving the laptop on for an hour (or like some people pointed out for more than an hour) you overheat the graphic adapter and its metallic parts expand (including the connector's pins). That temporarily recovers the connection between motherboard and the graphic adapter. Actually you need much less than an hour if you prevent the hot air leaving the machine. That'll cause the graphic adapter to overheat much faster. The only valid solution for me is to disable the default graphic adapter. Someone already mentioned it in the comments.
Sounds like a good theory and solution. If disabling the graphics card worked for you, then definitely it is something worth looking in to. Thanks again for the info. When I get some spare time I will give it a go and see how it works on my computer... One thing for sure is that a lot of people are having this problem with their laptop computer, and this simple fix does seem to work. Maybe simple heating and thermal expansion is the key?? If it works long enough to get your data off, then maybe it is good enough?... Anyway, great insight, Thanks again...
Michael Dall yes ive heard this i have a shirt bloking the fans this the 3rd time it went black screen after having them temporarily work 2 other times .i need a diy vid that shows u how to repair the insides of it what are the parts and stuff. I would just buy a new laptop but i got all my stuff on this one . If anyone knows how pls help me
I had to let mine charge longer than an hour, but OMG!!! It worked!!! I almost scrapped 2 others a year or so ago and now I am glad I kept them!!! And I always used to think the CMOS Batt was only for the Time Date!!! Thanks So Much!!!
You are Correct! I was under this misconception when I made this video! I now believe this problem is caused by a bad solder joint on the mother board... and that heating the computer up by 'charging it', and cause the joint to make a good connection again.. depending what happens to the solder joint, this fix can either be temporary or permanent.. Thanks again for the great comments!
I tried reading through comments to see what the underlying problem is for HP’s to act this way. 🤷🏻♂️ Will attempt to leave my laptop on for a few hours. Then try to power it on.
jaynes network left it on for around 2-3 hours. Nothing. But I’m really sure it’s the graphics chip going out on the mb. I think I just need to heat it up longer. Might just buy a new mb. No worries.
Well, I'm glad that your solution doesn't go directly for most peoples go to, which is heating the graphics chip. I like that you went through each troubleshoot to see what the problem is. I have found 2 of the same laptop in the trash. The first one kept going for about 6 months then had this problem. When I can't figure something out with a laptop, my go to solution is to tear it apart. This one, I found tonight, I am going to leave it as is like you did and see what happens.
Ive tried everything on the internet and didnt work im gonna try the last step of urs leaving it for several hours to charge the bios hopefully it will work
Good luck with it. Its probably time to try to back up any important data you might have on that computer. I have some videos that can help with that if you are interested. Let us know how it goes. Thanks..
Great news! Just skipped all and went to removal of battery and replugged in power cord. All restored, tho computer very slow. Must I buy another battery? Have new battery and power cord plugged in too at same time here on out or no? Got freaked by this. Time for updated laptop obviously tho always worked well. Never backed data up to disk and maybe you need to do a video on best and quickest way to do that for these older laptops. They're still good! Your're loved and appreciated today! Thank You!!!💞
Ok, the last one is that one that worked for me, but this fix only works for the issue of the bois not starting due to the internal battery being charged down. Is there any screen activity when trying to boot? If so, it may be a problem with the main operating system and not the bios (see comment directly below). It is also possible that the mother board of the computer has gone bad, and there really is no good way to fix this. These computers are expensive enough that generally I try to fix them if at all possible, and the bois issue, and the issue with the main program not booting properly are fixable. You have to properly diagnose the problem first though.... you really need to know what you are dealing with before a path forward can be chosen.
I just opened the laptop and cleaned the dust and I closed it back and then this black screen appeared i will try it if it works then I will reply again
It works with some laptop issues and some it does not. It is worth a shot. For the next step I would recommend trying to recover any data you might want from the hard drive. If you want to try it yourself, here is a video that may help.. th-cam.com/video/GoScdgkOA8E/w-d-xo.html
same think i opened my hp pavillion dv7 and did some clean after i received death screen i did all steps even the last one i left it for 1:30 hours and didn't work :(
I have a same issues right now, but now ill try to charge without the battery, and wait until im done with it, hopefully it will work normally, i feel bad to open this hp mini 100 again for cleaning the dust 😩
I pray you answer this by morning time please did you feel like it worked because you took the ram cards in and out? Or do you feel like it worked because you let the computer charge without the battery inside? I tried all of the troubleshooting steps there are I actually purchased a new AC adapter to no avail. I was contemplating opening my computer up to do the ram card switch-a-roo but the last step gives me confidence. Can you please answer this question with urgency🙏 you are helping out a whole family..thanks in advance
It depends on the problem with your computer.. if the RAM is unseated.. this can cause this problem.. and re-seating it will fix the problem.. if the problem is caused by a bad solder joint on the mother board, then plugging in the computer and allowing it to heat up will sometimes cause the solder to re-flow and either temporarily or permanently fix the issue.. if none of these things work, then it is time to try backup up your data on that machine... I have some video that can help, if you like to try that yourself.. Oh also there is another video that will definitely fix the problem.. if the hard drive is still physically working.. I will include that one at the bottom.. Hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/GoScdgkOA8E/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xiGLjGHBoSw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/5hoJpfIxYk0/w-d-xo.html
@@jaynesnetwork thank you for your reply I have one more question did I hurt my chances by charging my computer overnight without the battery in a well air-conditioned room because I did notice you say it had to heat up I saw someone say they actually put a towel over the air vents to make it overheat I'm going to check it in a half an hour to see if it worked after 8 hours of being plugged in without the battery. thank you
Thank you, we just watched your video and were able to have the screen working again, after many years without using it because we did not know how to fix the problem! Thank You, God Bless You.
This was awesome! I took out the memory chips, turned it on and voila. I've copied all my desktop docs to my cloud . Not sure what made this happen and it'll probably happen again but just being able to get it running and copying my files was great! Thanks a million
Thanks so much for this video. Have an old Pavilion G6 I use for car diagnostics and it just would not boot today. Tore it completely apart, began to believe either the motherboard or CPU was gone since could not get anything other than a black screen out of it. Found your video and figured might as well try... and sure enough an hour of sitting in the black screen state has cured it. The whole CMOS battery not being charged thing as a reason for this working seems possible but I tested the CMOS battery when the machine was in blackscreen state and it's a healthy 3V, just to make sure I took one from a known working machine and tried it... no change. Whatever the reason this works though - and I can't explain it - it does and you've just saved me a few bucks in getting a new (old) car diagnostics laptop :)
I now believe this problem is caused by a bad solder joint on the mother board.. and that 'charging' the computer.. can heat up the joint enough to make good contact again.. so the computer can boot.. It sometimes works.. and sometimes does not.. best of luck!
@@jaynesnetwork Entirely possible. I seem to be able to get it to reoccur now by trying to boot the computer with the battery installed, taking it out and following HP's "hard reset" instructions seem to get it to boot now. Who knows! I've worked out how to get it to start now though so thanks.
IN the process of following your instructions. Thanks for the measured calm video that I can follow step-by-step. Hope this works. I'm sending to my niece and haven't used it in several months. Diana
It sometimes works and sometimes does not... It probably depends and the exact issue the machine is having internally?? When it does work, it is really great though!
Be sure to back up your data while the machine is working ok! I now believe this problem is caused by a bad solder joint on the mother board, and that letting the computer run, heats up this joint.. sometime it is hot enough to re-flow the solder and cause a permanent fix, and sometimes the fix is only temporary... I have a video that shows one way to make a permanent fix, It is pretty simple, but it does cost a little money.. Hopefully this did the trick though! thanks! th-cam.com/video/5hoJpfIxYk0/w-d-xo.html

This is a good video as it explains step by step to go through multiple check in sequence. I used it on a later model - HP1575 and going through the same steps I was able to restart the HP. The actual problem was slightly different - backlit screen with non blinking cursor but the solution was similar.
Thank you so much for this video. It's really helped me and on RAM swapped, it's been sorted. Laptop is working perfect, but one of RAM slot is faulty. I am thinking to get a bigger single RAM. Many Thanks
The off and F8 worked for me, thanks man! When it came back on it showed my battery being dead for about 2 seconds and then went to the actual 3/4 battery life charge that it really has.
Hi Sir, your last trick --- charging the bio battery solved my black screen problem after so many times of no-fix and frustration with all other suggestion ! Thank you so much!
Thanks, I'm glad it helped. Just curious, did you change the battery by disassembling the the laptop, or did you dare to try cutting a hole in the bottom, as one my video suggested? Thanks again..
No, I didn't touch HW. If it were needed, I would. I tried all steps HP offered and I was still unable to resolve my black screen startup until I tried what you said --- taking out the main battery, turned on power let the black screen sit for 1 hour (I guess even less than one hour --- I played some simple game while waiting). Then I forced power off. Then I re-start the laptop. Bio came back. I am able to start the computer normally. I put the main battery back. Thank you again to save me out. (HP asked me to pay $15 monthly to help. I turn it down)
You are a champion bro you got your new subscriber. Your last one hour trick for charging internal 🔋, really work on my laptop HP Pavilion dv9000 today on 27th July 2020. Great man! You are a legend. Thank you so much.(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
FANTASTIC After 2 years beleaving 2 of my laptop fale for ever with symptom blinking caps lock. Searching the solution all over, experts and the net. Both work now. Had to charge whole night. Thanks. Will try new bios batterie tomorow
Thanks a lot. My ram sticks was loose and when I started up my laptop it showed black screen even after installing ram sticks. I tried reinstalling my Rams and wola! It worked. Thank you! 😘
I did this too and when i was finally in windows again. I got a blue screen and it shut off again. Again with blackscreen too... i dunno what to do. Just changed my harddrive for an ssd. Installt clean windows 10 that went oke.. after that It shutted down and got the blackscreen again. 10mins after the clean instal.
It appears to be an issue with the battery, whether it's the cmos battery or external battery. If I removed the laptop external battery for about 20 minutes and try to boot it up, I get a black screen. If I have a charged battery and let it sit for 20 minutes, the laptop boots up with the screen working. I didn't boot up this laptop for several months, left it cold. I get a black screen. I charge it for 30 minutes and suddenly the screen works. I'm almost positive this is either a faulty external or CR2032 battery issue. It's likely not the GPU as some HP models have loose GPU connections which require a reflow rework. I would recommend opening up the laptop, replacing the CR2032 battery as well as giving the heat sink and cpu fan a good cleaning.
Thanks these are great suggestions. I actually made a video of how to access this battery without disassembling the whole computer. I was going to try it on this one, but it started working the day I was going to make that video, so I used a dead computer instead. I know other people suggested that it could be a bad solder joint as well. The problem is that computers are so complex, they are too many different possibilities. I was holding off on disassembling this one, because I know how involved it is, but I may just have to bite the bullet. I have also heard that the GPU can cause this like you said. Do you think you reflow with a heat gun? Anyway thanks again for the great comments..
tl:dr, THIS METHOD WORKED FOR ME (step 3 was successful). I've got a HP pavilion dv2700. I got it in 2008, and used it about until 2011 until it began to malfunction and then went into "black screen". Friend of a friend who was into computers couldn't fix it, so I kept it, put it away and forgot about it. Now in 2017, decided to try if it could still be used and 1)took off the battery, depleted the power, put it on charger. Black screen with led-lights and fan noises. 2)took off charger and depleted all possible charge, took off the memory and put it back, turned computer on - no change. 3)turned the computer on with the black screen (no battery) and left it like that for about 1,5 hours -> shut it and restarted -> IT WORKS!!! I'm so amazed by this :) to be honest, I didn't think it would (glad I was wrong). Unfortunately though, the laptop seems to have some serious problem. I didn't even remember what I had on it, some old pictures and video. Watching the pics wasn't a problem but the video wouldn't play longer that a second, then it froze (and screen began to flash, and then the computer gave me a blue screen and something about "hardware error" before it shut off). If there's a computer-savvy person here in the comments, do you have clues as to what might be wrong? (I'm just curious). Well, atleast I was happy for a small moment, reminiscing the old days ;). I guess I should put the laptop to rest...permanently maybe. Now it starts, but won't start up fast nor properly (Startup Repair -screen, if it starts there might be something worth saving). Shame though, I kinda wished I could've used it still for some light tasks. Are there any parts worth saving when the laptop is recycled?
I'm glad it worked. I would try to save the data, videos and pics onto another computer while you have the opportunity. If the computer does go completely south, I do have a video that shows how to take the hard drive out of that computer, and copy the data to another computer, even if it does not boot. Computers can be replaced but the information can not. Again, sounds like good new. Best of Luck.
Wow... I have the same problem for a long time. Almost throw the HP lab top away. Will give it a try. So just take the battery out, let the computer charge the bio battery for a while. Right ? Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for all the steps unfortunately in my case none helped. Though I learn something new and will remove the Internal Battery CMOS and replace with a new one. And see if the The Screen of Black Death will be gone for ever. Thanks!
I am now thinking more likely that it is a bad solder joint on the mother board.. and that sometimes heating up the computer can cause that to make contact once again.. Replacing the battery is very difficult.. Others have suggested it could be a bad video card? Sometime reseating computer card can help.. You should consider backup up your data before you try too much more.. I have some videos that can help with that, if you want to thy that yourself. th-cam.com/video/xiGLjGHBoSw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much. :) So moisture got in the laptop after sitting outside with it. Laptop start to muck up. Done you last step and it works. :) I was getting ready to replace the CMOS battery.. ;) Thank you so mate :D
thank you for helping my laptop recover from the black screen of death, i havent used it for almost a year, thought it was gone. well done.

Your trick of unplugging the charging cable and taking out the battery worked for me! Thank you!
You are welcome, I'm glad it helped.
Thank you so much for posting this! I was ready to give up and take my laptop in to a shop but luckily I found this video and tried it. I had to run mine for longer than an hour but still did the trick!
Yes this problem behaves differently for different computers.. be sure to back up your data while it is working ok..
This just fixed my wife’s old laptop from college! Thank you Mr Fixer Guy!!!
Thank u soooo much this video help me to fix my laptop especially the last step.. and I make this account just to thank you.
You really make a big favor to me
Thanks a lot :)
You are very welcome.. Glad it helped.
Awesome, the last step worked! Kinda funny that this video helped way more than the official HP support videos I watched...
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!! Be sure to back up your data, if your machine is up and running OK..
thank you for sharing this video!
Left the laptop plugged (without the battery) for 8 hours! No more black screen!!! yey!
I'm glad it helped. Better try to get your data off and backed up while you can. This fix may not last forever, but it will give you a little more time.. best of luck, thanks again...
Lorivi May Cruz for 8 hours? Seriously?
I did exactly what you said and it worked. Before that, I've seen other videos on TH-cam and tried them, but none of them worked. Glad that finally found yours. Thank you so much!!! You saved my laptop, now I can make powerpoint slides for my online class!!!
Glad I could help!
thank you! I did the last method and works! left it charge over night.
You are welcome, Be sure to back up your data while the machine is up and running..
Man I had a blank screen on my old Toshiba computer for 3 years and 6 months to the date before I watched your video. Was literally thinking bout just throwing it out the other day. Now it works perfectly fine. Thank you so much for sharing this jewel!! Much appreciated.
I'm glad it helped. You should probably try to back up any important you may have on this machine.. you never know how much longer it will go before it has another problem.. best of luck, and thanks for the great comments...
I tried to put 1 ram and change the position it worked 👌
Great, I'm glad it helped. Thanks..
Fixed my computer when no other videos did. I had given up....It was the battery part that worked for me....thank you.
Glad it helped
i just remove my battery
and then charge just as you said
when i start my laptop it make click sound (it happens when you press and hold the power button for 20 sec while your computer is running) and then i again press the power button and then the laptop starts. Lol I don't even have to wait for an hour
I don't know what on the earth just happen but really dude it worked
Thank you Soo much!
I'm glad it worked.. Be sure to back up any important data on that machine, while it is working. You never know when it might have problems again.. Thanks again for the great comments...
Jeunsesse Lady: if your computer starts to make a clicking sound that means your mother board will soon brake down and you'll need to replace it, so be sure to back up and save any important data or pictures. This happen to my computer 💻
Removing the memory slot and fixing it again worked for me...thankyou so much!!
#jaynes big up yourself mate thought my lappy was dead tried your last step fixed my hp lappy. thanks and much respect 😎👊
I glad it helped. Thanks..
I don't know what to say to thank you. I was in 3rd day of googling for this problem. I believed it's cpu or main board problem. Then I found this video and gave it a try. It was not successful, but it gave me the idea if the CMOS battery is the problem. I bought a 2032 battery, replaced CMOS battery, and voilà! It worked!
Now you're one of the most important people in my life. Thanks for your knowledge, and thanks for sharing it.
You saved me a laptop, and nowadays it's like half a year's salary for me.
I must finish the comment because it's not an essay :)) thank you again sir.
Thanks so much! Be sure to subscribe.. then you will be notified when I release new videos! Glad you were able to fix the computer! Thanks\ you so much!
Holy crap it worked? I am so glad I found this. Thumbs up.
I'm glad it worked. Be sure to back up your data while the machine is working.. I have some videos that can help you if you like to try..
jaynes network on the charging for a hour part do you mean charging it on that state with or without the battery
At what point did it work, may I ask?
I watched another video and it worked then it went back off. The last step is the only one that worked on here thank you!!!!!! Saved me $$
You are welcome! Be sure to back up your data, while the machine is running ok!
Hey man, many thanks; you safe my life. You are the best.
You are welcome. I'm glad it helped...
Thank You!!! The battery removal and 1-hour charge worked! I really didn't expect it to work (especially since this was for a HP G7-1075dx). The laptop has been kaput for over a year and this was the last ditch before the dumpster. Thanks again for the info!
Great, I'm glad it helped. Be sure to back up any important that data you might have on that machine while it is still working..
Dude I am so happy I found this I was going take my laptop to a computer shop but I saw this video lol you saved me money man
I'm glad it helped. Be sure to back up your data while it is still working OK. You never know how long it will be before something else happens.. Thanks again..
Tried all steps in all videos,last one on this video and it came on by itself before the hour was up,was only step that worked,thanks,

Okey sir, I appreciate your work 👍
@Kicker
Thanks am now working to have the android tablet. Atleast it will help me
Hi! Thank you very much for your post. I tried your suggestion to connect my unit to the charger for one hour without the battery. it worked! Saved me money for repair not to mention anxiety. Great help. If the problem recurs, I might consider replacing the BIOS battery with a new one.
Your welcome. Be sure to get your important data off, because, never sure how long this fix will last. I am planning to try to change the BIOS battery too, when I get a little more time. I will post a new video if successful... thanks again.. Best of Luck....
Thank you so much, it works perfectly on my hp dv6 laptop.
I'm glad it helped. Better try to back up your data while its working....
I thank you so much my friend. The charging of the CMOS worked for me. You saved me just in time for online university. Thank you!
Yes! I fixed my mom's laptop! Thanks

The battery needs to be replaced.
Great, I'm glad it helped! Be sure to backup your data while that machine it working properly!! Thanks again!
i did the last part by removing the battery and letting it charge for about an hour, and when i went to power it back on, awesome the laptop screen came back on perfect. saved me a lot of money going to a repair shop. this guy is great. fyi my laptop was the HP Pavilion model and it still worked same technique.
Great, Be sure to back up your data while the machine is working good.. Ok.. Best practices always pay off.. Thanks for the great comments..
"Booting properly"
9:20 wtf is going on there hahaha
Camera refresh rate flicker
Thank you so much for doing this video. I would never of thought to try this! I thought my laptop was dead with the black screen and flashing caps lock. This worked leaving it on without the battery, it just started itself up and working! Thank you!! :👏🙌😄😄😄
I don't think the problem is the BIOS battery. First of all, it's not a rechargeable battery so you can't give it a charge boost. Second, even if the BIOS battery is dead that's not a reason for the computer not to start. This battery's sole responsibility is to keep the BIOS settings but the boot process would start. Now the real problem - some HP laptops, including G62, overheat like crazy. That makes the metallic parts to expand and when the computer cools off - they shrink. Eventually that will cause the connection between the motherboard and the graphic adapter to fail. So why your method works? By leaving the laptop on for an hour (or like some people pointed out for more than an hour) you overheat the graphic adapter and its metallic parts expand (including the connector's pins). That temporarily recovers the connection between motherboard and the graphic adapter. Actually you need much less than an hour if you prevent the hot air leaving the machine. That'll cause the graphic adapter to overheat much faster. The only valid solution for me is to disable the default graphic adapter. Someone already mentioned it in the comments.
Sounds like a good theory and solution. If disabling the graphics card worked for you, then definitely it is something worth looking in to. Thanks again for the info. When I get some spare time I will give it a go and see how it works on my computer... One thing for sure is that a lot of people are having this problem with their laptop computer, and this simple fix does seem to work. Maybe simple heating and thermal expansion is the key?? If it works long enough to get your data off, then maybe it is good enough?... Anyway, great insight, Thanks again...
Michael Dall thanks for info
Michael Dall yes ive heard this i have a shirt bloking the fans this the 3rd time it went black screen after having them temporarily work 2 other times .i need a diy vid that shows u how to repair the insides of it what are the parts and stuff. I would just buy a new laptop but i got all my stuff on this one . If anyone knows how pls help me
Awesome video, that last bit of letting it charge for an hour did it.
OMG YOU HAVE GOT A LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE FROM ME IT TURNS OUT THAT. INSTALLED MY RAM WRONG THANK YOU MAY GOD BKESS YOU ALWAYS!
I had to let mine charge longer than an hour, but OMG!!! It worked!!! I almost scrapped 2 others a year or so ago and now I am glad I kept them!!! And I always used to think the CMOS Batt was only for the Time Date!!! Thanks So Much!!!
You are Correct! I was under this misconception when I made this video! I now believe this problem is caused by a bad solder joint on the mother board... and that heating the computer up by 'charging it', and cause the joint to make a good connection again.. depending what happens to the solder joint, this fix can either be temporary or permanent.. Thanks again for the great comments!
I tried reading through comments to see what the underlying problem is for HP’s to act this way. 🤷🏻♂️
Will attempt to leave my laptop on for a few hours. Then try to power it on.
Great Let me know how it works. Different people have different levels of success. I hope it works for you..
jaynes network left it on for around 2-3 hours. Nothing. But I’m really sure it’s the graphics chip going out on the mb. I think I just need to heat it up longer. Might just buy a new mb. No worries.
@@TanukiSack hear they use AMD processor that needs heating up.
@@marymuriuki3445 I have the Intel Pentium version. what do i do with that?
Well, I'm glad that your solution doesn't go directly for most peoples go to, which is heating the graphics chip. I like that you went through each troubleshoot to see what the problem is. I have found 2 of the same laptop in the trash. The first one kept going for about 6 months then had this problem. When I can't figure something out with a laptop, my go to solution is to tear it apart. This one, I found tonight, I am going to leave it as is like you did and see what happens.
Sounds good, hopefully it works out. I have never heard of heating the graphics chip. It sounds like a risky procedure. Anyway best of luck.
I will try
Ive tried everything on the internet and didnt work im gonna try the last step of urs leaving it for several hours to charge the bios hopefully it will work
Good luck with it. Its probably time to try to back up any important data you might have on that computer. I have some videos that can help with that if you are interested. Let us know how it goes. Thanks..
Mhmd VÎDŠ did it work?
Did it work ????
Mhmd VÎDŠ Did it work??? We need to know!!!
Great news! Just skipped all and went to removal of battery and replugged in power cord. All restored, tho computer very slow. Must I buy another battery? Have new battery and power cord plugged in too at same time here on out or no? Got freaked by this. Time for updated laptop obviously tho always worked well. Never backed data up to disk and maybe you need to do a video on best and quickest way to do that for these older laptops. They're still good! Your're loved and appreciated today! Thank You!!!💞
Ive tried everything but the last one, I have to try that one when I get my next black screen.
Ok, the last one is that one that worked for me, but this fix only works for the issue of the bois not starting due to the internal battery being charged down. Is there any screen activity when trying to boot? If so, it may be a problem with the main operating system and not the bios (see comment directly below). It is also possible that the mother board of the computer has gone bad, and there really is no good way to fix this. These computers are expensive enough that generally I try to fix them if at all possible, and the bois issue, and the issue with the main program not booting properly are fixable. You have to properly diagnose the problem first though.... you really need to know what you are dealing with before a path forward can be chosen.
jaynes network wow that's long
hifijohn I have tried everything but nothing worked
these are just quick fixes, sometimes it really is a serious issue with the mother board.
hifijohn ohhh okay
This absolutely brilliant. It should be taught to all users of a computer.
Thanks, This issue is mainly a problem with the HP laptop.. Did it work for you ok??
Starting one hour charge now I pray to god man if it's broken *rope* not really but oml
Didn't work 😩😩😩
Is there any activity on the screen at all during boot?
Thanks for the info. Left mine for about 3 hours and it worked.
You're welcome. The time seems to be different for different machines... Be sure to back up your data while the computer is working...
jaynes network So if it happens again? What would be the next step?
I just opened the laptop and cleaned the dust and I closed it back and then this black screen appeared i will try it if it works then I will reply again
It didn't work please help
It works with some laptop issues and some it does not. It is worth a shot. For the next step I would recommend trying to recover any data you might want from the hard drive. If you want to try it yourself, here is a video that may help..

same think i opened my hp pavillion dv7 and did some clean after i received death screen i did all steps even the last one i left it for 1:30 hours and didn't work :(
I have a same issues right now, but now ill try to charge without the battery, and wait until im done with it, hopefully it will work normally, i feel bad to open this hp mini 100 again for cleaning the dust 😩
same here.
I pray you answer this by morning time please did you feel like it worked because you took the ram cards in and out? Or do you feel like it worked because you let the computer charge without the battery inside? I tried all of the troubleshooting steps there are I actually purchased a new AC adapter to no avail. I was contemplating opening my computer up to do the ram card switch-a-roo but the last step gives me confidence. Can you please answer this question with urgency🙏 you are helping out a whole family..thanks in advance
It depends on the problem with your computer.. if the RAM is unseated.. this can cause this problem.. and re-seating it will fix the problem.. if the problem is caused by a bad solder joint on the mother board, then plugging in the computer and allowing it to heat up will sometimes cause the solder to re-flow and either temporarily or permanently fix the issue.. if none of these things work, then it is time to try backup up your data on that machine... I have some video that can help, if you like to try that yourself.. Oh also there is another video that will definitely fix the problem.. if the hard drive is still physically working.. I will include that one at the bottom.. Hope this helps!

thanx man, it really worked for me, I was really in doubt because I tried everything that you tried before the last step. You saved my day.
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped..
Thanks so much for this video.
Have an old Pavilion G6 I use for car diagnostics and it just would not boot today. Tore it completely apart, began to believe either the motherboard or CPU was gone since could not get anything other than a black screen out of it. Found your video and figured might as well try... and sure enough an hour of sitting in the black screen state has cured it.
The whole CMOS battery not being charged thing as a reason for this working seems possible but I tested the CMOS battery when the machine was in blackscreen state and it's a healthy 3V, just to make sure I took one from a known working machine and tried it... no change. Whatever the reason this works though - and I can't explain it - it does and you've just saved me a few bucks in getting a new (old) car diagnostics laptop :)
I now believe this problem is caused by a bad solder joint on the mother board.. and that 'charging' the computer.. can heat up the joint enough to make good contact again.. so the computer can boot.. It sometimes works.. and sometimes does not.. best of luck!
@@jaynesnetwork Entirely possible. I seem to be able to get it to reoccur now by trying to boot the computer with the battery installed, taking it out and following HP's "hard reset" instructions seem to get it to boot now. Who knows! I've worked out how to get it to start now though so thanks.
IN the process of following your instructions. Thanks for the measured calm video that I can follow step-by-step. Hope this works. I'm sending to my niece and haven't used it in several months. Diana
It sometimes works and sometimes does not... It probably depends and the exact issue the machine is having internally?? When it does work, it is really great though!
Thanks alot. The last step solved it. You r the best.
Be sure to back up your data while the machine is working ok! I now believe this problem is caused by a bad solder joint on the mother board, and that letting the computer run, heats up this joint.. sometime it is hot enough to re-flow the solder and cause a permanent fix, and sometimes the fix is only temporary... I have a video that shows one way to make a permanent fix, It is pretty simple, but it does cost a little money.. Hopefully this did the trick though! thanks!

This is a good video as it explains step by step to go through multiple check in sequence. I used it on a later model - HP1575 and going through the same steps I was able to restart the HP. The actual problem was slightly different - backlit screen with non blinking cursor but the solution was similar.
Did it work? Different problems may required different solutions...

Hi Sir, your last trick --- charging the bio battery solved my black screen problem after so many times of no-fix and frustration with all other suggestion ! Thank you so much!
Thanks, I'm glad it helped. Just curious, did you change the battery by disassembling the the laptop, or did you dare to try cutting a hole in the bottom, as one my video suggested? Thanks again..
jaynes network Im trying to do the 1hour
No, I didn't touch HW. If it were needed, I would. I tried all steps HP offered and I was still unable to resolve my black screen startup until I tried what you said --- taking out the main battery, turned on power let the black screen sit for 1 hour (I guess even less than one hour --- I played some simple game while waiting). Then I forced power off. Then I re-start the laptop. Bio came back. I am able to start the computer normally. I put the main battery back. Thank you again to save me out. (HP asked me to pay $15 monthly to help. I turn it down)
Great, I'm glad it worked...
Hope it works for you. Some had success after trying it for 6 Hr. Success varies from machine to machine..

Great! Your welcome!! Glad it helped!!.. Thanks!
I did this too and when i was finally in windows again. I got a blue screen and it shut off again. Again with blackscreen too... i dunno what to do. Just changed my harddrive for an ssd. Installt clean windows 10 that went oke.. after that It shutted down and got the blackscreen again. 10mins after the clean instal.
It appears to be an issue with the battery, whether it's the cmos battery or external battery. If I removed the laptop external battery for about 20 minutes and try to boot it up, I get a black screen. If I have a charged battery and let it sit for 20 minutes, the laptop boots up with the screen working.
I didn't boot up this laptop for several months, left it cold. I get a black screen. I charge it for 30 minutes and suddenly the screen works.
I'm almost positive this is either a faulty external or CR2032 battery issue. It's likely not the GPU as some HP models have loose GPU connections which require a reflow rework.
I would recommend opening up the laptop, replacing the CR2032 battery as well as giving the heat sink and cpu fan a good cleaning.
Thanks these are great suggestions. I actually made a video of how to access this battery without disassembling the whole computer. I was going to try it on this one, but it started working the day I was going to make that video, so I used a dead computer instead. I know other people suggested that it could be a bad solder joint as well. The problem is that computers are so complex, they are too many different possibilities. I was holding off on disassembling this one, because I know how involved it is, but I may just have to bite the bullet. I have also heard that the GPU can cause this like you said. Do you think you reflow with a heat gun? Anyway thanks again for the great comments..
tl:dr, THIS METHOD WORKED FOR ME (step 3 was successful).
I've got a HP pavilion dv2700. I got it in 2008, and used it about until 2011 until it began to malfunction and then went into "black screen". Friend of a friend who was into computers couldn't fix it, so I kept it, put it away and forgot about it. Now in 2017, decided to try if it could still be used and 1)took off the battery, depleted the power, put it on charger. Black screen with led-lights and fan noises. 2)took off charger and depleted all possible charge, took off the memory and put it back, turned computer on - no change. 3)turned the computer on with the black screen (no battery) and left it like that for about 1,5 hours -> shut it and restarted -> IT WORKS!!! I'm so amazed by this :) to be honest, I didn't think it would (glad I was wrong).
Unfortunately though, the laptop seems to have some serious problem. I didn't even remember what I had on it, some old pictures and video. Watching the pics wasn't a problem but the video wouldn't play longer that a second, then it froze (and screen began to flash, and then the computer gave me a blue screen and something about "hardware error" before it shut off). If there's a computer-savvy person here in the comments, do you have clues as to what might be wrong? (I'm just curious).
Well, atleast I was happy for a small moment, reminiscing the old days ;). I guess I should put the laptop to rest...permanently maybe. Now it starts, but won't start up fast nor properly (Startup Repair -screen, if it starts there might be something worth saving). Shame though, I kinda wished I could've used it still for some light tasks. Are there any parts worth saving when the laptop is recycled?
I'm glad it worked. I would try to save the data, videos and pics onto another computer while you have the opportunity. If the computer does go completely south, I do have a video that shows how to take the hard drive out of that computer, and copy the data to another computer, even if it does not boot. Computers can be replaced but the information can not. Again, sounds like good new. Best of Luck.
Try installing a fresh copy of Windows on it.
Wow... I have the same problem for a long time. Almost throw the HP lab top away. Will give it a try.
So just take the battery out, let the computer charge the bio battery for a while. Right ?
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this video , the last step worked for me
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Thank you very much for all the steps unfortunately in my case none helped. Though I learn something new and will remove the Internal Battery CMOS and replace with a new one. And see if the The Screen of Black Death will be gone for ever. Thanks!
I am now thinking more likely that it is a bad solder joint on the mother board.. and that sometimes heating up the computer can cause that to make contact once again.. Replacing the battery is very difficult.. Others have suggested it could be a bad video card? Sometime reseating computer card can help.. You should consider backup up your data before you try too much more.. I have some videos that can help with that, if you want to thy that yourself.

So moisture got in the laptop after sitting outside with it. Laptop start to muck up. Done you last step and it works. :) I was getting ready to replace the CMOS battery.. ;)
Thank you so mate :D
Thanks! Glad it helped... Probably heating up the laptop drove off the moisture??
