Product: HP x2 210 Detachable PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Does anybody know how to remove the write protection on the SSD in an HP x2 210 Detachable PC. 

 

I have had a number of issues on this machine with bios startup issues. The first time it happened it was still under warranty and was able to be fixed after it appeared to be corrupted.

 

However it appears that a recent bios issue has caused the same issue and it will not boot.

 

I have tried updating the bios which did not work, formatting the hard drive with various partition tools and also the HP recovery tools all to no avail.

 

Since then I have tried the recovery USB from the HP recommended Best2Serve. This did not work and I have had no response from them after trying to contact them twice.

 

HP suggests on their site to go back to PC World however this would incur further charges.

 

I can run Chrome OS, Windows and Linux from a usb so all I am looking to do is format the SSD and perform a clean install myself.

 

Does anyone know if this is possible?
