Boot device not found on pavilion x360

[KandiElla]

Hello everyone! I am having lots of trouble with my Hp Pavilion x360. It says boot device not found and I am not sure how to fix it, I’ve watched several videos and looks for numbers but got nothing. Please reply with a method I can use to fix it.

Hello! I am also having trouble with my laptop/computer. It is a pavilion x360 and is telling me “boot device not found.” I can’t find a ho support number and I’ve had it like this for a week.

Hi @KandiElla 

Welcome to the HP Support Communities. 🙂

Just to inform you that I have merged your posts into one single thread here, to keep it all in once place.

Reason/Root cause >> You get this message because either of these:

-  Computer's BIOS is not configured correctly and it tries to boot from a device (not standard HDD) that has no bootable stuff on it (e.g. empty USB pen drive)

-  there is no HDD/SSD/disk drive/storage drive present in the PC

-  HDD/SSD is present but corrupted (or some connector is not working)

-  Operating system (e.g. Windows) is totally corrupt/unbootable

You can review the official HP article about such issues > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01443463

Tell me if you have performed any changes before the issue started, provide some update.

* Please, perform some basic hardware checks

1. Please, shutdown the computer using the power button

2. Power it on.

2.1 As soon as you press the power-on button, immediately begin hitting the Esc button (like tap-tap-tap).

This should open a HP Startup Menu >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSN0qzXayUY

3. Choose F2 to open System Diagnostics (or the respective F option to run diagnostics).

Follow the on-screen instructions to perform System Test >> Quick test.

If there are no system checks/no quick tests, perform Run in test

or HDD (hard disk drive) and RAM (memory) check.

Let me know the test results.

* Reset BIOS/UEFI settings to default... Repeat steps above but when HP Startup menu opens, please choose F10 to open BIOS setup.

Navigate through the BIOS and find the option to load default settings/configuration/reset BIOS settings to default.

Save the changes.

Exit the BIOS saving the changes.

Let me know how it goes.
