Hi @pixelated_,
Thank you for the response.
Try these steps:
Perform a Hard Reset
A hard reset can help reestablish the connections between the BIOS and hardware. Follow these steps:
- Turn off the computer.
- Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station.
- Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers.
- Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
- Press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds to drain residual power.
- Plug the AC adapter back into the computer, but do not connect any of the peripheral devices.
- Press the power button to turn on the computer.
- If a startup menu appears, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, and then press the Enter key.
- After reconnecting each of the peripheral devices, run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.
Examine the Environment and Connections
Ensure all cables and connections are secure and there are no compatibility issues with peripherals:
- Check all cables and connections to be sure that no connections are loose.
- Confirm that power sources are good, such as AC outlet or adapter, power strip. Test with a verified working AC outlet.
- Isolate the computer from sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as cell phones, two-way radios, floor mats, fans, and other electronic motors.
Update BIOS and Drivers
Updating to the latest BIOS version and drivers can resolve many issues. You can use HP SoftPaq Download Manager (SDM) or HP System Software Manager (SSM) to download all appropriate updates for the selected HP models.
Reseat Cables and Connections
Improper or loose connections can cause many problems. Ensure all internal connections are secure:
- Reseat the battery into the battery bay.
- Reseat memory modules to ensure they are properly connected.
- Reseat the hard drive to resolve a POST error.
- Reseat the keyboard cable.
- Reseat the wireless module and antenna cable.
I hope this helps.
