I am having an issue with my sons laptop and i would like some advise. The Model number is 15-db0031nr.
I received an error "The selected boot device failed. Press <Enter> to continue" when i go into the bios setting, i am not able to access any of the diagnostics. The message i receive is "The HP Bios application selected is corrupt or missing. Please install the application and try again." I try running the flash update as directed from the support page and it gives me the boot device failed message again. I replaced the hard drive, and the problem still persist.
I have tried the recovery flash drive, and the bios will see the flash drive, but i receive the same error about the boot device fail. I would like to get my sons device up and running before school.
Thank you
