Well it turns out the 705 is dead.   I had it tuned off but plugged in and I see that the power button flashes red 5 times and white 2 times but I have no idea what that means

p116
The red LED blinks to represent the major error category (long blinks). The white LED blinks to represent the
minor error category (short blinks). For example, ‘3.5’ indicates 3 long red blinks and 5 short white blinks to
communicate the processor is not detected.

5.2 The embedded controller cannot find valid firmware.

p120 might help fixing it.

this is a usb tool that is supposed to help.

edit.
This is the list of things to do for 5.2
1 Remove any recently inserted Hardware.
2 Reset CMOS.
3 Update BIOS while affected components are removed.
4 Test known good component.
5 Replace component or Main-Board as needed.

And a dead cmos/rtc battery can, apparently, do this.

i did update the firmware with the help of windows update.  it rebooted a number of time and i assumed when it booted back into windows that all was good and shut it off gave the fan back to the 800 g4 and was waiting for it before restarting the machine.  i dont know what i can do when there's no firmware found and i cant boot to bios.  i did go to their help pages. and i didnt find everything you did.   thank you for thast.  much appreciated!

so, cmos battery you think, or fan removal triggered it?

I think I don't know. It was working when I shut it off and now it doesn't boot.  I have no idea how to update the bios on a system that doesn't boot.  I mean i plug it in and it gives me an error even before i can boot it just with it plugged in.  Whats to do with that?  clearing cmos via the button on the mb has accomplished nothing.

The manual says you make a usb with HP software and it will boot to that

You need to run that exe on a machine, probably in wine or windows, and it will make format a usb drive so the  machine can boot from it and diagnose the issue... hopefully.

Have you removed any hardware you added? like drives...

The instructions say to power it on with the USB in it but it won't power on it sits there and beeps once I plug it in.  If it powered on I wouldn't need the stupid fix that doesn't work .  Hours more time wasted with this nonsense.  Ugh!  I hate windows.  I think windows did this to my machine

if it is still flashing 5.2 then it cannot find a good bios. the hp exe is supposed to write that to the usb to enable booting.

Is it still flashing 5.2?


Re: eso on intel 630 graphics

yes it does write something but its only for more recent machines.  then you have to copy the bioses from the other years of older machines to that same usb and i did that and i put in the root folder of that usb and still it does nothing.  i assume my machine is from 2018-2019 so i copied those over.
