Hi @JChris3 ,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It seems like you're experiencing issues with your HP Pavilion G4 2306tx after changing the hard drive and updating the BIOS. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
Hard Reset:
- Turn off the laptop.
- Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
- Hold down the power button for about 15 seconds.
- Reconnect the battery and power adapter.
- Turn on the laptop.
BIOS Recovery:
- Ensure that the BIOS update file is correct and compatible with your laptop model.
- Download the latest BIOS update from the official HP website if available.
- Follow the HP instructions for BIOS recovery carefully.
Rollback BIOS:
- If you suspect that the BIOS update is causing the issue, you may try rolling back to the previous version.
- Download the previous BIOS version from the HP website.
- Follow the instructions to install the older BIOS version.
Perform a System Restore:
- If you have a system restore point created before the BIOS update, you can use it to revert your system to a previous state.
- Press the Windows key, type "Create a restore point," and select the corresponding option.
- In the System Properties window, click on the "System Restore" button and follow the on-screen instructions.
Check Hardware Connections:
- Ensure that the new hard drive is properly connected.
- Reseat the RAM and other components to ensure they are properly seated.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.-
