HP Pavilion: My Laptop Suddenly Died

Sun, 22 Oct 2023 15:48:24 -0700

I have a HP pavilion x360 14-ba163tx that I bought last year. I had no problems using it and I'm happy with my laptop.

Until last week.

On Wednesday, I turned on my laptop, charged it and used it to check a windows 10 update. After that, I put it on hibernate and put it back in my bag.

2 days later, I tried to turn it on but the boot logo won't show up. The LED power indicator turns on but then it turns back off. I plug in it's charger thinking it ran out of power. The charging LED also turns on. I tried turning it back on again but the screen still stays black. Then I noticed the fan and HDD running and the power indicator turns on for a little bit before they suddenly stop and start again by themselves over and over again until I manually turn my laptop off by holding the power button.

The next day, I brought it back to the store that I bought it from and they said it was the motherboard. I was very confused, because it worked fine on Wednesday and I didn't even turn it on until Friday night. They said the HDD, RAM and SSD still works.

I also don't really use my laptop that often nor do I use it for heavy programs. Only some like, Skyrim, Sims 3 & 4, Adobe Lightroom, Office and surfing the web. I also undervolted it so that it will run cooler while being stable because back then the laptop would get hot even when using it for surfing the internet.

My warranty ended last month and they said replacing it is basically buying a new laptop. I want to know what happened to my motherboard that suddenly died after one year. I had an acer laptop 3 years ago and it's still running smooth. I'm confused as to why my HP laptop died only after 1 year.

Any idea what happened and what I should do? I sent an email to HP but they haven't replied yet.

Thanks!

HP Pavilion: HP Pavilion DV6 7030se - Missing CMOS battery

Fri, 09 Sep 2022 17:04:33 -0700

I have an HP Pavilion DV6 7030 se. The issue is its throwing CMOS battery error every bootup and I thought the battery is already drained. I continue on using it though. Today, I thought of replacing the battery and when I opened the latch at the bottom of the laptop, the CMOS battery is missing. I thought of opening the whole laptop only to found out that it is missing. I googled what the battery should look like and looks like its a battery module that will need to be plugged somewhere in the mother board. I cannot find any plug where it should be. I would request where should I plug the CMOS battery or any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I had Windows 7 partitioned with four drivers but decided to replace it with Linux Mint 19.3. I made a mistake of erasing all the data as I assumed the new OS will only format drive C and leave the other drives intact. I am now le ft with Linux with no access to all my data with no backup. The question I have is whether I could recover any of my data (400 to 600 GB) with a data recovery software.

The screen will turn off temporarily if you move the laptop or turn it certain ways. It seems to me that there is probably a short in one of the screen cables. I have never opened a laptop that was working afterwards, so any help available here for how to open it safely would be amazing, thanks.
