Hi, can you help - I have the same issue now with my HP Compaq NX7010 laptop. I see that you didn't receive a reply from this post back in March - did you find out how to fix your laptop. Your experience may guide me in how to fix mine. Any advice appreciated. Steve.

Hi Guy's
maybe I can Help. I flashed my HP NX9000 under windows with a common result: dead mobo!
After a lot of Googling i found a solution. By connecting a "boot block jumper" to the parallel port of my notebook i was able to force it to do a crisis recovery from a USB floppy. This restored my corrupted BIOS and the notebook is running again.
A drawing of this boot block jumper can be found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/149466379/B ... Jumper.pdf
The original info was found on the HP website (well hidden), the above link was found on the mydigitallife forum ( http://forums.mydigitallife.info )

success, Alex
