The keyboard is usb, plugged into the rear. Not sure if it’s a 2.0 usb port or not though. I assume so? The computer itself turns on, the case lights up, fans turn on, the graphics card lights up. No beeping sounds. Just no signal to monitor, no power to keyboard or mouse. A little frustrating since this came from an update. Then you look on Microsoft website and they say they get their updates from the manufacturer, look on the manufacturer website and they say we don’t currently support that 3 year old pc. Or no software or updates found for this pc is what it actually said, but.. man. I’ve never seen this happen, then have issues finding the files to fix it. lol

I had a similar issue, not flickering or black screen. But after cod4x install, everything was really really dark. And adjusting the brightness did nothing. I hit optimize video setting in game not know what it would do. Then was stuck in windowed mode which was hella small. Ended up uninstalling cod4x with the uninstall app in the cod folder. Restarted and adjusted the screen resolution to match my desktop resolution to get out of windowed mode that was stuck. Rejoined the server and had cod install cod4x. So far everything works good.

Yes, I went through all of the different steps HP recommended for recovery. This one won’t work because aside from no video signal, there is no power to the keyboard. So, pressing anything on the keyboard for recovery won’t work. A flash drive I think is my only option. Im at work right now, when i get home i will give the one from your first post a try. And I don’t suppose there’s away to recover the original bios if i connected the hd to another computer? Then crated a flash drive boot from that?

I found a few releases for the TP01 models. No of them was for TP01-1183w. Can I use one for a different model? From what I found that if I purchased a new bios chip. According to google ai anyways. It says the chip would normally come with bios firmware F47 Rev A. I found that file on HPs website. But it was for a different model still. However I also seen other versions of the file too. I’m just not that familiar with bios to pull the trigger and try and upload random versions. From what I’m seeing this is a common issue with HP.

My son computer was hella laggy. I told him it’s probably updating. He checked and it was. Then he clicked the optional updates, one of them being a bios update. The computer restarted and failed to send a signal to the monitor or power to keyboard or mouse. Im assuming the bios is corrupted. 2022 HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop pc Model: TG01-1183w HP does not support this model or just doesn’t provide software for it. I’ve fallowed the hp guide for recovery. Up to the point of needing the software to recover it. Which isn’t provided by HP. From what I’ve seen online it has a Baker motherboard with ssdi: 8767. Is there anyway to locate the bios for this thing??

I just need clarification, is using magnifying glasses considered a cheat? Don't feel bad, I’m right there with you. lol I had to start wearing glasses after around 2022.

Welcome!

Yes, just drop it in your CoD file. Either delete the old one, take it out or overwrite it. Make sure to put a shortcut on your desktop and don’t open the game through steam or it will auto update to 1.8.

Also, maybe do a full driver update. If it starts and then crashes, remember the headphone issue where sometime you have to have headphones connected to start the game. There is a work around for this.

Congratulations on the new pc! For cod4 you should just have to install the steam version and then the 1.7 patch found in XI downloads. It’s been a long time since I’ve downloaded it, but I think this is the one I used to download by @loaderXI.

I’m sorry for your loss, Mark.
