    Hi Guys,

    I'm having HP PAVILION G4-1110tx core i5 2nd Gen (dual VGA intel and radeon) Laptop which was running very slowly, i thought it was windows issues, then i re-installed the windows, but it was same, then i tried to upgrade the bios, during upgrading the bios my laptop was turned off automatically, my battery were already death i was using direct power.

    Now when i trying to turning it on, nothing there the power is coming, caps lock LED blinking continuously and no screen (screen is full black)


    is there any ways to restore the bios or another way to fix this problem???

    It was the same version F66 which you gave me, it is the least version of bios from hp....
    before upgrade the bios I really don't have one i mean that, before upgrade the bios i checked the version of bios which was F14
    now i think that maybe i don't got right system broad id,under the battery
    i found that(rev: 166e-110) is this is the system broad id?

    with USB SPI programmer yes.. make a backup.bin and post it then we can check it and upload a fixed.bin for u to program on chip.

    if recovery methods dont work then u need to reprogram chip or buy a chip already programmed
    (i would also buy spi programmer to make a copy of new chip to old chip so u have a backup.. dont forget to make backup.bin of old chip)

    USB SPI programme is a mainstream tool now in 2013 .. Ask other at shops
