    Need BIOS for HP Pavilion 15-n058sr recovery - Caps Lock blinking twice

    Hello everyone,

    I'm dealing with a classic BIOS corruption issue on an HP Pavilion 15-n058sr and hoping someone here might have the original BIOS file or point me in the right direction.

    Symptoms:
    • Laptop powers on but no display at all (completely black screen)
    • Caps Lock blinks twice with a pause, then repeats continuously
    • F12 LED stays on permanently
    • No POST, no boot sequence, nothing on screen

    Based on HP diagnostic codes, the 2-blink Caps Lock pattern indicates BIOS corruption/failure.

    What I've tried:
    • Hardware reset (battery removal, power drain for 30 seconds)
    • Crisis recovery attempts: Win+B+Power and Fn+Esc combinations during boot
    • Searched extensively online but couldn't find the specific BIOS file

    Laptop details:
    • Model: HP Pavilion 15-n058sr
    • Product ID: E7G13EA#ACB
    • Originally came with Windows 8

    I understand the risks of flashing incorrect BIOS versions and want to make sure I get the exact match for this model. If anyone has this specific BIOS file or knows a reliable source, I'd greatly appreciate the help.

    Also open to any other recovery suggestions if I've missed something obvious.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

      Dear SMDFlea,
      I'm repairing this laptop for another person and want to be respectful of their privacy. Could you please help me with just the Product ID (E7G13EA#ACB) and model (HP Pavilion 15-n058sr)?
      If the serial number is absolutely required for BIOS identification, I will ask the owner's permission first.

        HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2523nd - Dimm2 slot disabled after corrupt bios repair? Advice requested.
        by Bloodhoundje
        Hi everyone,

        I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

        I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

        After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

        I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...

        🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
        by macabook
        Hello everyone,

        I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
        🧩 Initial Issue
        • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
        • External display (HDMI) shows
        ...

        Dell T7820 stuck in Bios Recovery Mode
        by The_Memory_Guy
        HI,

        I have a Dell T7820 stuck in Bios recovery mode. I never get Dell Boot screen or anything visible on screen. The system just gives me 3 white lights and 3 orange lights indicating Bios recovery mode.

        What I have tried to get to recover the Bios, there seems to be some conflicting advice about recovering the system.

        All of them say to download the latest bios from the dell website which is a .exe file. I have done that

        ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
        by jbonavita
        Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
        With original bios no POST, only LED lights
        With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
        Some issues
        A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
        B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

        Things I tried

        1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

        Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
        by Wahaz
        Hello,

        I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
        So I thought it was a Bios problem.
        I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....
