I'm having a bit of a problem with my HP TouchSmart tx2-1025dx laptop. It was working fine before. I shut the top and sat it on my bed stand to go do some work, and when I returned to get back on, The screen stayed black. I tried shutting it down and turning back on, but it still stays blank. The lights to the buttons still work, except the two next to the caps button and the end button keep blinking. I've tried all sorts of stuff that's supposed to help, but nothing worked, and I really need this computer for my school classes. If you've had this problem before, and you know how to fix it, I'm dying to know how you did it.

Here is everything that I know, the LED lights blink once, and according to the code, it means that something is wrong with the CPU. I did a hard reset, nothing. I've taken my entire laptop apart (carefully of course) and replaced the CPU with a brand new one, zilch.

When you turn on your TX2 can you see the bios logo (like the HP trademark)?

Have you tried booting it up without the battery?

First of all, try this.

Remove everything that plugged into the laptop.
Then remove the battery and disconnect the AC Adapter.
Then slide and hold the power switch for about 2 minutes.

After this try to boot up the laptop!

--------------------------------------------------
If that dosn't work try this:

The tx2z-1000cto notebook computers built in 2009 or later use blinking LEDS to identify hardware component reporting an error during startup. The codes are not valid for other models.

Press the power button to turn on the computer, and look for blinking LED lights on the keyboard.

Count the number of blinks in the sequence (between1 and 8 blinks) After the sequence of blinks or beeps, there is a pause for a few seconds, and the sequence is repeated (usually 3 or 4 times).

Please tell me the number of blinks before the sequence is repeated. e.g. (Blink, blink, blink, pause.... Blink, blink, blink, pause...)
I would consider this to be three blinks in the sequence!

I customised my HP tx2z with:
6GB RAM
400GB 5200rpm Hard Disk
2.4Ghz AMD Turrion Ultra x2 ZM-86
Bluetooth + Wireless N
Lightscribe DVD-RW drive

I live in the UK - But I imported my tx2 from america.

You may need to send the unit to HP for warranty service then, sorry.

I realized just after I ordered that 1.9ghz was not per core. It was a huge mistake on my part, I'm a graphic designer and render 3D images and needed some power on the go. I later saw a dv6-3150 for $20 cheaper, Intel i5 2.8ghz with turbo boost. If you need power you won't get it here. This is, sorry to say, a glorified blueray player. Will return.

You're wrong that it's a "glorified bluray player" but when shopping for a laptop, ANY laptop, it's always important to research your needs and what features a laptop has.

A dv6 isn't at all comparable to a tx/tm-series, and all laptops will have weaker graphics then a desktop, you have to do that homework!

p.s. spamming the forum with shopping links is never cool, please do not do that!

You need to understand where I'm coming from - my most recent computer was running a Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive. That being said this computer is a significant step up, and I think it's great. I think it's also important to know what I'm using this computer for....I work in a hospital and use this to log on to the hospital system, use Microsoft Office, and surf the internet. For these applications this computer is perfect. I've had it for about 1 month and have had no issues. It does come loaded with a bunch of HP software which can be uninstalled so that's not a problem.See Here:

You need to stop the shopping link spam.. that's NOT cool.. link to an HP page if you want to show stats..

In 2 posts you've said that you do completely different things, pardon me for thinking this, but the conversation isn't making much sense to me for anything other then link-spam
