HP Notebook - 15-f233wm (ENERGY STAR)
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

After the latest windows update my notebook doesn't boot anymore. It goes straight to Hardware Diagnostics UEFI and I've ran all test the Smart Check: Passed &

Short DST: Failed

Failure ID: MBVXJF-8B0B7R-MFPX7G-60WJ03

Product ID: L0T33UA#ABA

Hard drive 1 

I've had this laptop for a few years but never even opened & used it til last year. And I already run into this problem, and I try to get help and find out it came with a warranty. But my luck it's already expired of course! If I only knew it had came with a warranty. I might've been able to avoid this. Somebody please help me & tell me is this an easy fix or should I just give up & get rid of it & start with a brand new notebook. Just so you know I'm not much of a tech person. Hopefully that'll help you to be able to help me!!! Or maybe scare you away😄. I'm still new with everything being online. I guess I'm just old school & probably stuck... I'd greatly appreciate any & all help. Please!

Thank you in advance. I hope for everyone's day to be blessed with happiness, prosperity & abundance😉

Yours truly,

Hi:

 

It is very surprising that if you hardly used the notebook that the hard drive would fail, but that is what happened.

 

It is a relatively inexpensive and a moderately difficult fix provided you can do the work yourself.

 

Below is the link to the service manual.

 

HP 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide

 

Chapter 6 has the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

 

If you want to give it a shot, before buying a new drive, if you can get to where the old one is, I recommend you replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a better performing 2.5" solid state drive (SSD).

 

This would be the replacement drive I recommend for your notebook.

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/...

 

After you replace the drive, you can reinstall W10 for free by making bootable installation media with the media creation tool from the link below.  Make the 64-bit installation media.

 

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

 

After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your notebook's support page.
