    Hi all from Italy,
    a customer of mine just brought in an HP DV6-2010sl.
    The notebook doesn't boot up, leaving a blank screen with the led on. Caps and Num lock blinks every 2 seconds.
    Step performed:
    removed battery, hdd, cdrom, wlan module and ram, the system beeps accordingly with the no ram issue.
    On the official HP site found the error condition: BIOS corrupted.
    Downloaded all the bioses from the HP site, renamed in 3637 .FD, .ROM and .BIN and the flashing seems to start (found the name 3637 under the battery slot).
    Powered up with WIN + B pressed, the system seems to recognize the BIOS in the USB sticks, but after a few beeps every second and after few beeps every 2 - 4 second, the system locks. Activity on the USB stick hangs (the led on my pendrive is fixed on).
    No reboots after 1 hour.
    Any helps?
    Thanks in advance.
    Luigi - Digitalix
