HP Envy 17 3D 1195ea strange boot issue
every now and then the envy would not boot and this strange behavior would happen. plugged-in or using the battery, or plugged-in with battery removed - no difference.
it would continue to flash endlessly until power cable (if battery already removed) or battery gets removed (if power cable already removed).
the vent starts spinning for a second in the moment the machine gets powered (when also the keyboard backlight flashes), but then everythings dead again, and it repeats every few seconds.
surprisingly, without any action, after a few hours everythings fine again and the notebook gets turned on without any issues. the flashes are NOT error codes indicating CPU failure (1 blink)!
performing a hard boot (pressing the power button while unplugged and battery removed) doesnt help.
