HP 15-BS100NW: How do I get my laptop to work with an incompatible driver?

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 17:57:27 -0700

I recently installed a new solid state driver into my laptop but it seemed to cause a crash after a few months as it works for 5 minutes before restarting and looping in this order. I am now forced to use it in safe mode which I am writing this section in. I cannot afford to replace the driver so how can I get the already installed one to work? Or do I just put the hard disk drive back in and get it to work? I really would like a proper solution on this. Any help will be gladly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

HP 15-BS100NW: Why is my laptop only working for 5 minutes and then restarting?

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 04:16:11 -0700

My laptop already has battery issues but when I switch on it only works for exactly 5 minutes and then freezes and restarts itself. It works completely fine in safe mode without freezing. I was wondering what the problem could be and if anyone knows how to fix it because I have not been able to update the software since February when it was working fine. Any help or answer would be so so helpful.

HP 15-bs168cl: HP 15-bs168cl with broken hinge mount- need help with repair

Fri, 09 May 2025 20:41:25 -0700

Hello

I have an HP 15-bs168cl that I love and do not want to throw away due to a broken hinge mount. Here's what happened:

I closed the cover with a pencil in the joint area of the hinge on the RH side. This, of course, put stress on the hinge and attachment point. The lid is fine, it's the palm rest upper corner that now lifts up and will eventually get worse and crack the palm rest corner, I'm sure. It's not cracked yet, but with the flexibility of the surface, it's only a matter of time before it fatigues and cracks! I saw that you put a link for HP 13 XXXXX with what to do to repair it. I would like the same info and link for MY model so I can remove the bottom and order whatever part is broken (I'm 90% sure it's NOT the hinge itself, as it still functions smoothly and is very stiff yet. The top Upper corner lifts when I raise or move the lid.

HP 15-b Series: What replacement fan do I get for it?

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 02:34:47 -0700

I have an HP Notebook - 15-ba079dx (Touch) (ENERG... (Seriously, name's so long it doesn't completely list). Its fan, I believe, is in need of replacement. It had been replaced before, but I can't exactly afford $130+ for a shop to do it for me. I have an all around good set of tools bought from here before for other fix it projects, I just want to know what fan part to purchase to do the fixing myself.

The only HP laptops listed here that I saw were a digit or two off (15-ba078dx & 15-ba0709dx).

Last thing I'd need is to get the wrong part.

Can I find the solution here... Thank you
