Hello
Notebook Pavilion dv6 system freezes on startup and goes to black screen. I pressed esc on powering up to enter HP diagnostic system and ran hard disk test
Received message - Hard disk short DST failed.
Also received an error message 305
Failure ID was as in subject line of this post.
I seem to gather this means the hard disk has failed and needs to be replaced. Rang HP help esk in India and apart from recording copious details and info about error messages as above, were unable to help. @Will ring back in a few days.
Can you please confirm if the hard disk has failed and if it needs to eb repalced.
Notebook is 4 months out of 12 month warranty
Thanks to advise what my issue is.
