Sun, 28 Jun 2026 07:01:31 -0700

HP 15-dw2005nk CPU throttling issue (CPU frequency drops to very low levels). I am temporarily using ThrottleStop to manage the issue. What is the cause of this throttling on HP 15-dw2000 series and how can I properly fix it (thermal, power limits, or BIOS related)

HP 15-ef: Does my battery look okay?

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:28:53 -0700

Hey guys, I opened my laptop for the first time to clean the fan and noticed the battery looks slightly puffed on both ends. The middle is flat, but the left and right edges look a tiny bit raised. Does this count as mild swelling? If yes, is it still safe to use until I replace it?

Model: HP 15‑ef1716wm.

HP Notebook 15s-fq0000 Series: Laptop won't boot up, power light and charging light flash

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 10:19:11 -0700

Hello, first question here.

I recently acquired a HP notebook, model number 15S-FQ2038NA. The previous owner had removed the factory ram and supplied no charger, so I fitted a new stick of compatible ram and acquired a replacement charger.

After letting it charge for about an hour, I tried firing the system up on mains power. The power indicator light on the right hand side flashes white and stays so for about three seconds, before turning off for another three. When plugged into the mains, the charging indicator light on the left hand side flashes white for a moment, then orange, then switches off over a period of about six seconds. There are no flashing lights on the keyboard.

Having followed a few tutorials, I have tried a number of power reset options, both based on those on HP's website for similar models and various YouTube videos. I also removed the battery, and even without the battery and plugged into mains power, the system does not power on and displays similar lights, which would suggest to me that the battery is fine and isn't the issue.

Does anybody happen to have any suggestions as to what to try next?

EDIT: Following numerous questions about the lights visible, I decided to capture some footage of them and add them here as GIFs since it's easier to show than it is to explain.

Charging indicator light (only when power via AC is connected)

Power indicator light (does not stop repeating this pattern unless internal battery is removed)

HP Flyer Red: How much can I upgrade the HP-r132wm model?

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 11:41:44 -0700

I have an HP 15-r132wm that's pretty much in mint condition, but it's specs are just a little under what I'd like. I've already got a RAM upgrade to install, but it's hard to find other information about this model.

Can I change out the processor and graphics card, or are they soldered to the motherboard? What's the maximum of anything I could upgrade this thing to? I don't need a beast of a machine, I just need it to be able to handle a little more than it can right now.
