Eliteone 800 AIO G1 Touch

First of all I am new to the platform, your patience is appreciated!

A friend hands me his AIO and tells me if I can get it to work I can keep it.

After the HP splash screen it begins the boot sequence. I get one beep and then a message

There is an error in the SMART detection

1720-SMART Hard Drive detects imminent failure

Failing Drive: SATA0 (Dark Blue)

Failing Attribute #B8

To minimize the risk of data loss, backup the contents of your hard drive and run DPS self-test in F10 setup

Near the top it appears the bios version is 2.15.1236. On the bottom of the screen it says V02.21

the disk in question is a seagate SSHD part number 716263-001

It will boot to a flash drive if there is something I can put on it to give it a firmware fix.

As I mentioned, I am new to the platform, and any help is appreciated!  

UPDATE - I had it boot a few times over and I was able to get it to boot once to the home screen. I havent rebooted it since, and I don't want to in the event there is a downloadable fix. Im not sure if/when i will get it to boot to the desktop again.

Hi
First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.

Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.

Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat; Re-Connect the AC adapter.

NOW begin checking/testing/proving the Hardware is fit for purpose.
Power on your PC, press ESC (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).

Thanks for your reply. I have also read that the firmware has proven to be a problem for this model SSHD. I will explore both options for a fix. Thanks again!
