Good evening, 

 

I purchased this laptop in the end of November. Paid extra money with the hope to finally have a reliable machine to work and for private use. 

Today, I bitterly regret buying a laptop I cannot even open. 

 

First, the laptop flashed a blue screen before turning off. Then, I tried to restart it, got the HP launch logo page and then it froze. So I had to restart it. But that time, the screen remained black. I tried a hard reset 3 times and the laptop finally started again. I updated everything and the laptop worked fine for a couple days. I start it tonight, everything works fine. I launch Netflix and leave the machine for a minute. When I come back, I sea some white and some other pixelated squares all over the screen. I can't control anything anymore so I turn it off by force. 

It never started again. I get a LED code light on the cap key (3.2) which, I  found, indicates "the embedded controller times out waiting for BIOS to return from memory initialization". I should unplug the memory and plug it back on again. But I was stupid enough to purchase a machine I can't open. Or maybe I could but I am sure they would totally seize the opportunity to cancel my warranty. I work on this machine, having to send it for repair will impact my business, greatly complicate it at least. Anyone found a way to restart the bloody machine?? 

 

I see some people had the same issue... I wonder how a €800 laptop can have this type of problem after just 5 months and half. The machine is flawless on the outside. I took great care of it... 

 

Thanks in advance for the people who will read me.
