Boot capability disabled (network adapter )?

[About30ninjas]

I am unsure what the problem is with my computer, the UEFI boot order has an exlamation mark next to network adapter and im not sure on how to fix this. I would like to know wether i will need to buy a specific part, if this is a problem i can fix myself or should i take it somewhere to get it fixed.

Can we have the model number so we can find the right BIOS emulator? Are you trying to boot from network such as PXE boot? Once booted to Windows does the network adapter work?

Product number:L0L20PA#ABG
Note book model: HP pavilion 15
Serial number: 5CD5133L33
Bios version: F. 36
Im not very tech savy and im very unsure on how to tackle this problem.

And it does not boot to windows, instead it comes up with they black screen with the message "boot device not found". Im very unsure on wether i need to change something in my system Configuration or wether i need to replace something.

Need to run diagnostics on the memory and hard drive to start:

I passed the memory test but i cant seem to do the hard drive test as it has:
smart check: not installed
Long dst: not installed
I have an exlamation mark next to the network adapter and i dont understand what it means and what the network adapter is? And is my hard drive the problem or a loosefaulty cable?

[Huffer]

This means the system is not detecting the presence of a hard drive. Most likely it has died but there is a small chance the cable is disconnected or bad. With no hard drive the system keeps looking for sources to boot and very advanced users can set up the system to boot over the ethernet cable from a server. The network adapter as boot device is irrelevant to you since I am sure you do not have that set up. Likely you have PXE (network boot) disabled in the BIOS which is what you want. The real task here is to access and evaluate the hard drive connection and then assuming it is connected OK but is dead (99%) to replace the hard drive and reload Windows. Unfortunately it is unlikely data can be recovered from the old drive if it is electrically dead. But Microsoft has made it very easy and free to get a copy of Windows 10 to reinstall. 

Manual

Look at pages 45 and 69. Your model is not super easy to disassemble.

Thankyou so much for your help, ive already opened it up and it looks like everything is connected, thankfully i dont need anything that was previouslyon there. Would you recommend taking it to a store to get it fixed/harddrive replaced?

[Huffer · Accepted solution]

If you can open it you can replace the hard drive. Save yourself some serious money. Go to the store just to buy a hard drive. 2.5 inch SATA hard drive. They sell them at Wal-Mart now. Any brand will work as long as 7mm or 9.5 mm thick which is what you find in stores. Put the new one in the same place as the old one with the same caddy and screws. With a working computer on the internet go to the Microsoft Media Creation Tool site and it will download Windows 10 and make you an installer usb disk on a flash drive at least 4 gigs (8 is better) and use that to reinstall Windows. Drivers and factory apps are available here at this site.
