You need to carry out either of the following;

1. Run windows update to update your drivers.
2. Uninstall the recent windows update that affected the driver.
3. Run system restore to a date that the laptop was working normal.

Hope the above helps.

Thanks.

I just got the laptop UK used and it came with windows 11 I don't know if the laptop has always had this issue.

Also the battery discharges very quickly from 100- 0% but can last up to 4-5 hours on that 0% I have tried calibrating the battery by draining it completely and then charge to 100 but it still did not work

It’s possible the laptop has already had the issue before purchase but you didn’t noticed it at that initial stage. Try to run windows update to see if the system will update recent drivers that may resolve the issue.

As per the battery, it usually happens when the battery is near to the end of its life cycles. The only solution is to replace the battery when it no longer has power backup. You can as well try to uninstall the driver and reinstall same with recent one from internet.

You can complain to the person you bought the laptop from if it has not been long you bought it or use it without the touchscreen provided all other things are working well.

Hello Sir

HP EliteBook Folio 9470m developed issue last week after after I used it the night before.

When I press the ON button, the system do as if it wants to boot then goes off immediately..

Showed an IT guy in my department and he said it might be power IC and I should show it to an engineer.

Just want to get an idea of what the problem is and what I am to prepare for before taking it to an engineer.

Thanks in anticipation

Yes your IT guy is right.

There’s need to take it to a trusted engineer for proper troubleshooting. Things that can cause system to ON and go off abruptly without booting as follows;

1. If a liquid substance has entered the laptop and penetrated through keyboard or back vent to the motherboard
2. If debris has blocked the processor cooling vent or heat sink
3. Faulty power
4. Defective motherboard
5. Damaged fan etc

So try booting it with battery and if it goes off abruptly, check the cooling vent to see if it’s dusty and blow the dusts off to allow adequate air flow into the processor.

I strongly advise you to take it for repair asap to avoid more damage on the motherboard in case its water that entered it.

A drop of ice from chilled bottle or sachet water can drop in the keyboard and penetrate into the motherboard.

Thanks.

Getting another OS online will take you up to 4GB data and require some IT skills to do the installation. You will loose all the files in your PC. I advice you look for an IT specialist that will retrieve your data and reinstall the OS accordingly. You can specify your location in order to get more help from people within your area that is on this Forum.

Choose another restore point date to see if it solves your problem. But if I may ask, why do you want to restore your PC?

Good evening People. My laptop takes a really long time for the screen to come on.
For instance, when I turn it on, the power on light will display on the keyboard side but for the screen to come on it takes a really long while.
Please what can I do ? I have tried cleaning the RAM, still this issue persists.

It seem you’re experiencing a black screen as a result of a compromised bios which usually affects the graphics. HP 14 and 15 laptops are always having this issue.

Try the following

1. Connect it to your tv with HDMI cable or to a monitor to see if the external monitor comes up before the system
2. Disassemble the laptop and disconnect the LCD connector from the motherboard, then connect with HDMI to tv and see if it comes up as quick as possible
The above is if you’re technical enough


Another alternative is
1. Download the latest graphics driver from the manufacturer online entering your PC model on their website
2. Install and update the graphics driver through device manager
3. Download and install all the chipsets from the manufacturer website
4. Download the latest version of bios and update your laptop using the necessary steps to flash your bios

In some cases, downgrading your OS will ease the laptop burden or rather upgrade your RAM.

If the issue continues, you will get more expert view on this Forum.

Thanks.

Hello guys
My HP probook 640 started showing some diagnostic about a week now.

Kinda lost.

Sometimes some keys will work and sometimes it won't.

Other times after turning on it works perfectly.

Are you trying to upgrade or reload the OS?

Either secure boot or legacy boot is disabled on bios. Kindly go back to bios and check which of the two boot options is disabled. If legacy is disabled, enable and if secure boot is disabled, enable it. The two cannot be active as same time.

You can as well clarify us on what you did that resulted to the screenshot for further guidance.

For the keys, you may need to change the keyboard. Open Ms word and test all the keys to examine the lines that are not working. If all the keys are working it maybe that the system is hanging.

As per the diagnostics, you can snap and insert the screenshot but it’s possible your HDD is gradually failing and needs replacement.

Run
Cmd in administrator
Type this command chkdsk c: /r /f
If it prompt you to run on the next startup type y and enter
Be sure the PC is plugged to light and allow the disk check to complete. If you interrupt the process or system goes off while it’s running, it may damage your disk entirely.
