Hey all,
I'm having an issue with my laptop, it takes hours (without exagerating) to get to POST. When I press power button, the screen will remain switched off after one hour or more and then it starts POST. Once it gets in the OS (Windows 7) it runs perfectly well; smooth and fast. Strange thing is that when rebooting, it won't take so long, instead, it will boot normally, just as any laptop. I've been searching, and it seems a CPU Failure issue according to HP, since the Caps Lock LED is blinking once. While the screen is off, the HDD LED remains off, and the disk reader sounds like trying to read a disk. I tried inserting a Live CD, but it will still take ages. I can hear de CPU fan running, and all upper softkeys light up, just like normally. I'm out of warranty by the way.
Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv7-1220es
Thanks in advanced.
