Try to follow this procedure.
I have been trying this with both CD and USB key, I made both by imaging a floppy disk using virtual floppy but nothing is happening. I'm trying to track down a usb floppy disk drive, not something easy to come by these days.
The bios does beep when I press the windows key and B but its not loading any of the files into the bios, nothing is flickering. The USB stick only lights up when I press these keys.
I'm unable to get the lights to shutoff either like the description said I tried both the Fn key and windows key.
I'm a little stumped until I can get the floppy drive.

Try this image burnt in a CD.

I tried your image, on CD and USB the USB lights up and I can hear bios beeps but nothing happens after that. I waited 15 mins.
If I just use the CD all I keep getting is 3 bios beeps repeating over and over. The computer only gives one beep like a normal bios if I use the USB key.
The LED's won't switch off properly like described in the article. I haven't been able to get them to turn off.
Hello.
any luck in bringing back to life the notebook?

I tried repeatedly but it won't reboot. I purchased a floppy drive and it seems to recognise the disk and the drive loads for about 1 minute. Once it stops and I waited for 15 mins then restarted. Nothing happenned, same problem as before. I used the Windows key and B and the bios beeps before it starts loading, as it loads the bios continues to randomnly beep untill the disk drive stops loading after a minute.
But then nothing is happenning and I go to restart after 15 mins, exactly the same problem occurs nothing comes on screen and nothing loads.
Am I doing something wrong? followed the instructions, but the LED lights don't turn off like the instructions say and the computer doesn't reboot once the flash is complete.
have you tried with the 4 arrows pressed when powering on?

Laster version crisis disk, give it a try.
Ok giving it a try now, is the BIOS.WPH the correct file or should I use one from HP?
Its fixed, well done! This Crisis Disk was the only one that worked. The laptop is 100% functional windows boots up fine.
I will detail exactly what the process was for this laptop soon, it is different from the one in this forum and other websites. I'll post back in a few hours after some testing.
Thanks!
WOW! YES!!!!
Well done, i knew we finally will bring back to life the lappy. Now let me review yor bios mod once more.
