Hi, my 6 year old HP Pavilion (L8V46AV) has stopped working
It started off with a ‘Boot Device Not Found’ error message that I did a while quick test for, which said ‘No Hard Drive Installed’
I restarted it the next day and it was stuck on a ‘preparing automatic fixes’ screen so I pressed F2 when doing a hard reset and did a System Fast Test
This fast test said it failed the Hard Drive Short DST check, with the failure ID ‘U4JFS4-7T7AJG-MFPWLK-60Q403’ and ‘Hard Drive 1-Primary HDD Bay’
I’ve had issues before with this laptop, the battery does not last more than an hour on its own and I replaced the inner fan a few months ago.
