HP 245 G2 Notebook
  • I replaced my HP 245 G2 Notebook hard drive with another used one (Toshiba) after the original one crashed. It worked well for 4 days however i cant update using windows update then goes to gray after replace.

Tried hard start, keys combination but still gray.

Connect to external it worked well for two days then went gray too.

I remove CMOs battery for 5 minutes still same, tried again for 25 minutes and this time it wont start, no fan etc but when plugged in light came on for few seconds and went off.

I want to boot using a new windows but since its off i need help.

Thank you and really appreciate if some
