Symptoms include no video on the computer LCD screen, no power and no active LEDs, and “the notebook does not start.” If you experience some of the listed issues, you should contact HP during the duration of the HP Limited Warranty Service Enhancement to determine whether your laptop is eligible for a free repair.

Users that have some of the listed laptops and experience none of these problems should update notebooks’ BIOS to the latest version.
