Hi ,

 

No thanks for the Chat. What happens if you try the device in a different port on the Notebook? We know it is not a port issue and we know that the device works on a different computer. 

 

Let me know,

 

Thanks.

Hi @Lexymoon,

 

Welcome to the HP Forum!

 

This is a wonderful location to converse with  the community, get assistance and find tips. For you to have a rewarding experience, I would like to include the following link for your perusal and reference:

It is very important when posting to include your precise model of HP notebook and not just the series to aid the community in assisting you:

 

HP Notebook PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number, Serial Number or Product Number?

 

I understand that you are unable to install updates as you are running out of space on the "C" drive.  This can easily happen due to the limited internal space.  With Windows 10 you can change where applications are installed. You may need to move previously installed apps to an external storage device such as a SD card to free up space, thus allowing room for any updates to be installed.  Here is a link to assist you with that process:

 

How to install Windows 10 apps to an external drive (from windowscentral.com).

Hi @KrzysztofM,

 

Welcome to the HP Forum!

 

Thank you for becoming a HP Forum member.  It is a dynamite location to get help from the community, get suggestions and find what has worked for others. For you have the best experience, here is a link to First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More for you to review, should you have any concerns.

 

I grasp that your keyboard has acted strangely since you first purchased your notebook.  You are unable to use the F1-F12 keys as the functions are not the one you want.  They do function, but not as you expect.

 

Here is are links that I think may help:

 

HP PCs - Using Keyboard Shortcuts and Special Keys (Windows 10, 8, 7)

Since the battery is sealed inside, it would not be wise to remove it myself. I think I need to call a HP professional for that. But can you pls read the next part of my question as stated above and tell me if it has got anything to do with the battery and if that can be solved first?

Hello @Xkalibur39,

 

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!

 

I read your post about the notebook not starting, and wanted to assist you!  I understand that the LED lights are blinking twice.

 

Based on the blink code, it seems that are you having an issue with the BIOS.  Please review the following steps, and let me know how it goes:

 

  1. Turn off the computer.

  2. Plug the notebook into power using the power adapter.

  3. While the computer is still off:

    1. Press and hold the Windows key and the B key at the same time, and then press and hold down the Power button on the notebook for one second.

    2. Release the Power button and the keys.

By following these steps the BIOS will reach the EFI partition in order to recover the BIOS to the last known good version of the BIOS from the hard drive.

For information on how to restore the BIOS refer to the HP support document: 

HP Notebook PCs - Restoring the BIOS.

See p. 35 of the Manual here:

 

Service Manual

 

There is a SATA hard drive bay and it looks like the SATA connectors on the drive plug directly into the motherboard. The M.2 slot is at right angles and above the hard drive bay so yes, you can have both a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and also the M.2 mSSD. You can just add in the 2.5 inch SATA SSD (or hard drive) and you really do need the hard drive mounting kit otherwise the hard drive will rattle around in the bay and that is not good for the laptop or the drive. 

 

Hard Drive Hardware Kit, includes: 826382-001

 

http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?type=PROD&SearchText=T8Y22US

 

When you install the SSD or HDD storage drive you will have to initialize and mount it (assign a drive letter) in disk management. Let us know if you need any help.

Two USB ports not working Host Controller missing

I have two USB ports which recently stopped working.  They are both located on the left side of the notebook. There are two ports on the right side which are operational. The two non-working ports have power can I can use them for charging a device (phone, etc.). However, they do not recognize any USB device. No Errors are emitted but no devices show up either.

 

Device manager reported a controller as having a problem. I unistalled the device (Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller) and then ran a scan for hardware changes. The scan did not detect the controller. I have a feeling this is a hardware failure of the motherboard but am hopeful there may be another solution.

 

Device Manager also reports a problem with USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller

If I disable the "Optical Drive" in bios or remove the HDD optical caddy, my laptop boot smoothy.

 

 

Why is it not an option to remove optical drive in the BIOS (boot order I assume). When you do that it boots smoothly but does the system see the HDD in the optical caddy?

Hello @Arka69,

 

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!

 

I came across your post about upgrading the notebook, and wanted to help!

 

I am not sure I quite understand your question.  Are you indicating that you would like HP to replace your notebook, with the other version, and pay the difference?  Your current notebook can support up to 16 GB of RAM, so the memory should not be an issue.  If you are asking about contacting HP to upgrade the notebook, then you may consider contacting HP Phone Support for more options.  Please use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp and create a case for your issue and contact HP. If you live outside the US/Canada, please click the link below to get the contact information for your region.

See pages 36-39 here:

 

Your Service manual

 

Basically it is a Chinese Menu...one from Column A (2.5 inch SSD or HDD) OR a Column B (M.2 mSSD). Both types of storage use their own special adapter with a cable and connect to the same port so you can have one or the other, not both.

Laptop shuts off if I unplugg AC Power Cord

I was having an issue with the computer going into SLEEP MODE without any warning for about a month. I kept changing the POWER SETTINGS to a higher percentage but nothing worked. I decided to download a Battery management software to see if I could get THAT problem solved.  It didn´t! I´m guessing the computer went into SLEEP MODE at around 50%. That software decided to do a Battery calibration (depleting the battery and recharging it about 30 times) and there is where the Battery started to give me problems. It charges up to 95% (that’s it, no more) and the display says "calculating" (it never gets past that) From what I can tell looking at the diagnostic, that although it says that the battery is "OK" the 4th cell doesn’t have a charge. Smiley Sad

Could this be a Software problem? I know it’s farfetched but the problem started after I installed that battery management software. 

Thanks in advance for the help Smiley Very Happy

charging led is behaving strange

$

When i connect my laptop ( after shutting down) to the external AC adapter , first the charging LED glows red( which is normal untill the battery reaches 100%) but after few seconds it turns white as if it is 100% charged. When i replug it several times only then at some point of time the charging LED glowed red till the full charge( and turn white when laptop is actually 100% charged). I noticed this same behaviour while keeping the notebook turned on.

But whenever my notebook's battery is fully drained and i plug it to AC adapter.. this time the charging( and hence the led) worked properly as they were supposed to.

If i'm not wrong it is a usual behaviour of AC adapter due to trickle stage..... If not please help!

I know you have tried some troubleshooting steps, but please begin with a hard reset. After that is complete, follow the steps in this document:

When the power light comes on, does the fan start as well?
