Blinking light on laptop?
From Hp the blinking light indicates sleeping mode. Suggest you push the power button for 20 to 30 seconds. The light should go out. Repower on the computer. If it goes back to blinking mode then there is a hardware issue.

If these do not help, and you have files that you do not want to lose, you could try this... Pull the hard drive out, and use a "USB Hard Drive Adapter" (available fairly cheap online) to connect the hard drive to a friend's computer, and save all the personal files (documents, pictures, etc.) you can to a folder on the friend's computer or an external hard drive.
Then, you could try to do a Factory Restore on the computer, and if that works, copy your personal files back to your newly restored computer.
What thermal paste and how to apply it to stop Probook 6550 overheating?
Applying thermal past should be as small as a match stick head (about 3 should do the trick.....does for me all the time).
A zinc or copper based thermal past will do just fine. Sodium fluoride which is found in almost all toothpaste..works for me as well.
As for the pressure as soon as the heatsink sites and locks that will do just fine.
Win XP instaling problem on Hp probook 6550b
Hope you are using a fresh windows XP install of the entire system.
HP drivers will need to be obtained and installed before running. The error on the screen usually is a driver error and not a XP issue.
My webcam doesnt work on window xp
You need to install (1) the webcam driver, and (2) the webcam software. If your hp does not provide the webcam software, then you can use manycam.com's webcam software.

Touch-sensitive control doesn't work anymore
You need to reinstall the drivers for those HP control buttons. When you installed your system the installation script creates a folder with name such as SWSetup or Software Setup where all the drivers and HP applications are stored, in case you want to reinstall them. It usually is at the root of the Drive C:
If you cannot find them visit the HP support website and download the drivers.

Laptop don't shutdown with windows 8
To close Windows 8 move your mouse to the bottom right corner of your screen > select "settings" > select "power" > "shut down."(toolbar on right side of screen)
Shut down windows
Try holding the shift key down while selecting restart, then select "Turn off your PC."
Then power it back on normally. Startup will likely be a little longer than normal.
(The default "Shutdown" option in Windows 8 actually just hibernates your laptop.)
Base system device
Need more information. Typically I would start by deleting my network connections and researching for them that means having your WEP (security key) handy. Sometimes I find having a LAN cable to do initial connection sometimes makes it easier, however it is not necessary. Some Routers have an easy connect Button I don't know if you have one or not. Make sure if moving closer to the router you might be out of range.

Laptop does not turn on after bios update
Try setting the BIOS to default, then rest the settings. You can try to re-flash the BIOS version just before the latest version.The Wz number you posted does not match a 655. Read the manual carefully about how to flash the BIOS. Look in manual for clearing CMOS, if you have it, clear CMOS, set BIOS to default, and reset, if this does not work, re-flash the next to oldest BIOS version, if you have (example) F23, then flash to F22.
I forgot my user name and password, in need of help
You can remove or change the Window's User or administrator's password. You need access to a computer with Internet access to download the Hiren's Boot CD and burn it onto a CD. Then insert this CD into the laptop/computer and boot up the laptop/computer with the Hiren's CD and follow the instructions. There are very useful utilities CD and it a Linux boot CD which contains quite a lot of Utility programs including a password removal program. Click on one of these links to download HIREN'S BOOTCD :-
