My pavilion touchscreen laptop was working fine and then all of a sudden one morning was completely dead. Doesn’t turn on, display anything, no lights go on when I plug it in, and no fans are running. The only thing that happens is it heats up on the bottom left corner. I need this laptop because I am a college student and I don’t have the amount of money to buy a new laptop completely. Any help?

Hi,

 

I want to decrypt my harddisk. For existing my C drive is enctyped by HP Drive Encryption, but I can't decrypt it. I read in help notes (I click the question mark on HP Drive Encryption window) I found this is how to decrypt the disk:
1. Un-thick the drive

2. Click apply

 

My problem is, there is no apply button so I can't do anyting about that.  Where is the button?if it doesn't exist, how to decrypt my disk?

I attach the screenshot

Bios Corrupted and became READ ONLY after a failing installation of UBUNTU 18.04

hello community and support assitants , please read the whole thing , i spent days and days with no hope , and i m getting frustrated .

- Symptoms of the current situation :
     - bootable Usb will not boot like before
     - Bios settings are not being saved and getting back to the previous state when ever i exit + save change (F10 , or even in the exit tab)
     - Bios became readonly : 
                - i tried to update the bios using the live BIOS update utility provided from hp (using my product name etc) and it fails around 51-52% with a message "Bios update failed"
                - i tried to recover the bios using a usb flash drive made by the same utility , and using the Win+B buttons combination technique , then it will write , and verify , and will repeat these last 2 actions for several times before failing as well , one thing i noticed here , that in the verifying process , it stuck at 52 as well , and at some other points

 

- Details :

 so the reason all this happened , was that Besides the installed os Widows 8.1 , i wanted to install ubuntu 18.04 as dual boot for a school project . the thing is the installation process stopped at around 70% showing an error , after that i deleted ubuntu , so now i have only windows 8.1 installed , i searched on this subject and found out ubuntu 17.10 had the same bug , ANY SUGGESTIONS ? that would be a SUPER RELIEF if i find the solution here

BIOS Update file request

$

Hi,

I would like to request the BIOS update f.08 for my laptop. My computer had a issue with its fan and the error screen suggested to update the BIOS as it may help fix the problem, however it did not and instead caused another problem which is with the GPU. I updated to f.48 and I have tried to use the HP Diagnostic tools to rollback bios but it says that it is "unable to open signature file."

With that I would like to request for the executable file to downgrade to a very old BIOS that worked perfectly before. I am looking forward to your response.
