Hi Guys,

 

Have this laptop and my sister needs an SSD upgrade. Saw it came with a slow normal HDD. Opened t up and I believe this is an M.2 Slot below. HP labeled it as "JSSD". Can anyone confirm for me this is an SSD slot and if I order a SATA m.2 SSD will it work ? Pics attached to Imgur. Thanks

Laptop keeps flashing CAPS lock and screen is off

Hey! So I have an old laptop of the HP DV6 series and everything had been going good for months but I now have come across a problem. One day I had put the laptop to sleep mode and when I came and tried to turn it on it would just keep flashing CAPS lock and the screen would be off, completely black, no light whatsoever.

I looked online for some solutions and found out that it may be a GPU problem. I then decided to disassemble the whole laptop and then put it back on again, and then tried to turn it on but the problem still existed. I didn't want to give up so I looked online again and found someone saying it helped him by overheating the computer (I guess the overheating causes it to connect correctly to the GPU).

So I let mine overheat and to my surprise it turned on but I turned it off right away to let it cool down but the next time I tried to turn it on it would not turn on (same caps lock flashing problem).

This time I decided to disassemble the laptop again and see if anything was wrong inside but everything was correct, I took out the GPU and put it back again, took out the fan and tried turning it on and it did. Then I just reassembled everything and everything was working perfect again.


It worked perfectly for amount one and a half month until I had the same issue again with the CAPS lock flashing no screen. I just let it overheat this time and it's working again but it is very laggy now.

My question is, by the looks of it it seems to be a GPU problem, can I do anything to permanently fix the problem or is the computer dying?

What caddy to replace HP ENVY 15 L0Y78EA with? What size, connector or interface?

Hi so i got a new ssd not too long ago.

 

While this is great i use around 700 gigs of stuff so i cant replace it all with the ssd. My ideal objectif is to have the ssd as the main drive so that win can be on it, and to get a caddy to replace the cd drive and put my 1T hdd in. 

 

The problem is i can't find any info on my type of laptop. It is HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC L0Y78EA#UUG.

 

I read throught sites and stuff ( https://hddcaddy.eu/which-hdd-caddy-for-my-laptop/ was good ). But don't know wich one to get. I really would like some help on figuring out wich caddy to get to be sure that it will work.

 

Could anyone suggest a something on amazon.de please?

 

Thanks in advance

Please resolve this issue.

Fan noise at relatively low CPU/memory usage

$

Already posted this question in the German HP forum but since I haven't received an answer, I'll try my luck over here.

 

I recently bought an HP Envy 17, complete with 4k screen, i7 chip and so forth. Thing works like a charm except that the fan turns itself on after a while without any sort of major workload. CPU is at 10% or less, memory at around 30-40%. I feel it is rather annoying to have the fan running at a rather noticeable noise when an older HP laptop that I own remains completely quiet throughout the day.

 

BIOS has already been updated, I have turned off HP Coolsense. Any other option? Can I somehow manually increase the temperature before the fan kicks into action.

How do you complain to HP??

How do I formally contact HP please to either get a full refund or get a new laptop sent out. I have had it confirmed by the HP tech online team that my laptop is faulty and needs replacing. But I cant find a formal complaint email or UK based telephone number, which does appear quite concerning and very poor customer care.

 

I bought the laptop directly from HP, which was a huge mistake as none of the drivers were up to date and spent 2 days updating everything but the screen still blacks out when turning the laptop into 360 tablet mode- the main reason for having the laptop.

 

 

Kind regards

Spectre x360 faulty motherboard with burnt capacitor and sticker

Two weeks ago, while on holiday vacation, my Spectre abruptly shut off during normal use. The screen went black. I smelled a faint burning smell. It wouldn't power up, no LEDs, no hard resets. Just dead.

 

I took it to a professional for diagnosis, and he stated that this was a known problem, showed me the burnt sticker over the fried capacitor, and referred me to the following thread, which now appears to be closed to replies (otherwise, I would have posted there directly):

 

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-Spectre-X360-motherboard-burned-literally/m-p/6031129/highlight/true#M386974

 

The last person's comment sums up my feelings and experience exactly. This is a potentially dangerousdefect, and and I would like HP to to take responsible action and repair the device free of charge. Given the price and positive reviews when it first came out, I expected this laptop to be a good investment that would last me many years to come. I've only used it a handful of times -- mainly during holiday vacations, and it still looks brand new.

 

Yet, due to a defective motherboard, I am now left with little more than a very expensive paperweight.

 

HP, please contact me to resolve this issue as soon as possible. I would appreciate it.

dear community,

 

i am planning to buy this laptop: hp14 thinbook 14-bp004nd, 2LC97EA

 

i am experiencing a little difficulty finding whether i can or can't add an SSD. the only thing i can find is that it has a flash memory, from where the laptop boots. so, the question is, can i put an ssd inside.

please dont worry about the warranty void, i am full aware of that.

 

sincerely, Vincent

Battery becomes very hot

Hello,

I looked at the news and I saw that HP is recalling several models because of battery-heat problems. The only ENVY model that is being recalled is the M6. However, I (envy 13-d131nd) have also been struggeling with a very hot battery. I can barely touch my laptop sometimes. This is why I wanted to know if my laptop can also be recalled. I hope to hear from you soon.

Computer upgraded last night, windows 10, now SD card no longer recognized.

Using same SD card, that could be read as of yesterday, is not recognized today.  Computer completed an upgrade last yesterday on it's own.  Tried the solution that worked for others.  However, after clicking "extract all", the rest of the instructions would not work for me...(unzipped foler, fine and run the setup.exe.)  ...none of that showed up after following directions.  Not very computer savvy.  Also saw, "rebooted"...is this restarting computer?  Taking pics and organizing into books is VERY important to me.  Bought this computer at Thanksgiving and have had much issues with it.

Certain keys unresponsive after spill

$

After a spill on my Chromebook, the keys a, s, d, f, j, k, l, ;, and the enter bar became unresponsive. I have tried cleaning the keys with no luck and I dried the spill quickly.  Everything else on the Chromebook appears to be fine. I read that power washing may help with unresponsive keys but not necessarily with spills? Also if this didn't work and the keys were still unresponsive I would be unable to re-sign into my accounts on the laptop as my usernames and passwords contain some of the unresponsive letters so would trying power wash be worth it?

Thanks!

BIOS Update not updating BIOS

I'm attempting to install a BIOS update (BIOS F.46 Rev.A - sp84005.exe). Current BIOS is F.45.

When I run sp84005.exe it appears to complete successfully and PC reboots, but the reboot process does not appear to update the BIOS and once reboot is complete BIOS is still at version F.45.
