HP 15-AF131DX: Laptop won't boot at all

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 20:33:26 -0700

Hey guys, I recently opened up my laptop and replaced my HDD with an SSD. After I put everything back together, the laptop won’t even attempt to boot. I opened it back up to ensure that everything was connected to the motherboard properly and it all checks out. I’m not sure what happened and need some help saving my laptop. Thanks

HP 15-ac142dx: How do I resolve the boot to black screen problem?

Sun, 11 Apr 2021 03:20:08 -0700

We’ve been trying to fix this HP Notebook 15-ac141dx (Touch) device that was received by a client in our area. We have confirmed that all onboard hardware works, and have tried booting with minimal hardware to determine the fail points.

Currently, the device is booting to a black screen. We are able to access the BIOS, manage TPM settings, and select Boot options, but as soon as we select a boot device, it does not work properly. We have tried booting to both an Installation of Windows, a Live Disk for Windows Install, and a Linux Install disk and none of them have yielded a different result.

We additionally tried booting the device in legacy mode to determine if the device has been affected this way. That did not yield any further successful result. We have also reseated all hardware components, and tried booting with the RAM in each slot, with multiple combinations yielding no result.

The whitepage by HP for this device can be found here:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c0...

It is important to note that we have noticed multiple physical ‘ailments’ to the device. There is frame damage on the inside, indicating that the device has been dropped significantly, as well as spillage that required cleanup of the hard drive PCB, and the inside of the laptop casing.

We believe that the problem may lie with the spillage, and/or with the shock damage to the mainboard, but we are looking for a second opinion from the iFixit community. Typically we do not want to resort to heavy parts replacement, especially given the resale condition and value of the device, however depending on the client’s desire, it is their decision whether the device should be repaired.

HP 15-ay052nr: Don't have what I'm looking for

Tue, 02 May 2023 21:49:00 -0700

Need help to verify what kind of fan do I need for this laptop model is 15-ay065nr.The fan is what I'm looking for. Date Code 7J16A0,Sps-813946-001 in the DC28000GAR0 ARX1,0A 69S 000 20CD. Do not know what kind of volts this thing takes what I do know is a blacktip plugin a red yellow and two black wires on the fan itself it is a 4 pin plug-in trying to find one Amazon I just don't know what kind. this is a HP notebook with Windows 10 home this has 6gb Ram in I don't know about the hard drive but you know looks like a spinner Drive the processor is a i3

Is it possible to go up on the RAM yes or no and how much can go up to.in the hard drive itself doesn't classify what it is maybe you can explain it so I can if it ever needs a new one or not the wire in the picture on this fan here's a better photo of the fan it might be able to specify what I need if this picture makes sense get your better look at it you'll be in the photo link searching for one on Amazon trying to find one I only getting it from Amazon only and nowhere else

is there a certain type I need to be using if I do replace the Ram with Higher One does it involve any type of reprogramming

HP 15-ay078nr: Wifi and Bluetooth signal very weak

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 01:38:13 -0700

My laptop got repaired 2 days ago and since then both wifi and Bluetooth are showing really weak strength , so weak that if the router is within 1 meter only then internet would work, if I go 3-4 meters away from the router it will remain connected but internet would not work.Same problem with the bluetooth, I have to keep my wireless earphone onto the laptop only then sound will come out of earphone, at merely 3 meters away Bluetooth gets disconnected.What is the problem and how to get it fixed?Did the mechanic loose some wires unintentionally?

Hi! My HP won't connect to WiFi within my home. When it does connect, after continuous turning off and on, it only connects momentarily then quickly ddisconnects. The wifi works with all other devices. Replaced router and cords. Any help would be appreciated!
