Removing cmos battery and flashing at first boot also doesn`t work

Read the sticky thread regarding usb recovery.

I will upload bios files and add link there for this version. Read the complete thread untill you understand how it works.

Already did. I did use phoenix tool, got recovery filename, renamed bios and add 03387.bin+sig file with the file structure on usb drive HP_TOOLS, removed cmos and big battery. Maybe I do something wrong, but win+b, fn-b, fn-esc, 4 pressed arrow keys is not working. I see flashing on my usb drive, so it is read, but result is always the same - blinking CAPS. What the [censored] I haven`t tried yet?

Now I`m studying this thread http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads...ible-names

But I think recovery procedure is just different (=uknown) on this laptop
F#$k!

Did you unpack base in you pendrive? And renamed as HP_TOOLS?

[Nestorr]

Yes, did that too

[Nestorr]
