@Vyrax, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like your HP Notebook is experiencing sudden shutdowns when the screen is touched or slightly moved, along with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity issues. These symptoms strongly suggest a hardware-related issue, likely around the motherboard, power connector, or wireless module.
Sudden Shutdown When Touched or Moved
Likely Causes:
- Loose internal connection: Particularly the power cable, battery connector, or motherboard.
- Faulty power jack or flex cable: A slightly moved screen could stress the internal cable.
- Short circuit on motherboard: Movement might trigger a shutdown to prevent damage.
Please try these steps,
- Check power connection:
Plug in the laptop and gently move the screen or chassis. See if the charging light flickers.
- Battery test:
Remove the battery (if removable) and use only AC power. See if issue persists.
- Run HP Hardware Diagnostics:
Restart and press F2 repeatedly → Select System Tests > Extensive Test.
Poor Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Connectivity
This could be due to:
- A failing wireless card
- Antenna cable disconnection (common if the laptop was dropped or opened recently)
- Driver issues
Steps to troubleshoot:
- Update drivers:
- Go to Device Manager → Right-click on Network adapters → Update drivers.
- Check for Windows Updates:
- Sometimes, updates include important driver fixes.
- Reset Network Settings:
- Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Advanced network settings → Network reset.
- Run HP Hardware Diagnostics:
- Restart your laptop and press Esc → then F2 to run diagnostics.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
