Re: [LUG] HP Laptop Failing to boot!

The BIOS chip may be faulty. Some replacement ones are available online. They can be carefully removed using a hair dryer and tweezers and replaced using a soldering iron with a very fine tip. Alternatively move your hard drive into another Laptop. Just my 2 cents.

I would go into the BIOS at boot time and set the clock manually. Also while you are in the BIOS ensure that the master hard drive is visible to the BIOS.

Thanks for that. Sadly I cannot even enter the BIOS. Pressing "Esc" at the appropriate moment does not work.

Cheers Roly.
