Spectre x360 (Z4Z38UA#ABA)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Spectre x360 is completely dead and will not charge. I have read from various sources that this is most likely a motherboard issue and that multiple people have had this issue. I bought this laptop back in December of 2017 for a substantial $1600. That means that a $1600 laptop only lasted a little over a year with HP knowing they had this common issue with these models and did nothing about it. I have gone through all of the recommended troubleshooting. What's next?

If the above doesn't help or the steps are insufficient, check the below steps:

Let's start with a hard reset of your notebook computer before you try any other troubleshooting steps.

 

Reasons for a hard reset

A hard reset has the following effects:

  • Clears the memory.

  • Reestablishes the connection between the BIOS and the hardware

The following conditions can be helped by the hard reset:

  • Windows stop responding.

  • The display suddenly goes blank.

  • The computer does not wake from sleep or hibernate modes.

  • Software applications freeze or fail to respond.
