Boot device not found: Either the disk is defective or the BIOS is not setup correctly: Watch this video.


Tap the ESC key after powering on. Tap it once a second after you see the LEDs on the keyboard flash. When you see the startup menu, press F2 to run diagnostics. Make sure that the memory and disk drive diagnostics pass.
If a component fails during the UEFI test then Click here to check warranty
Lookup any of the 24 character Diagnostic error codes here.

The BIOS may not be configured correctly to boot

  • Go into the BIOS setup.
  • Press F9 and any option that sets defaults on every menu of the BIOS.
  • Ensure secure boot is enabled and the date and time are correct.
  • If there is a boot option for UEFI chose UEFI.
    • Look for one of these options:
      • Restore Factory Keys
      • Load HP Factory Default Keys
      • Install Default Keys
    • Select that option and confirm.
  • Save settings when exiting.



HP's official guide for 3f0 is here.

Hard Reset

  • Turn on the computer by holding the power button down for 20 full seconds then release.
  • Press the Power button one more time (if necessary) to start the computer.


If you pass diagnostics then possibly the windows scan or "chkdsk" will fix corrupted sectors or an NVME SSD firmware update may help.
