HP 250 G8: Laptop not seeing the hard drive

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 18:27:02 -0700

The laptop turned off on its own one day due to high temperature and after that day it has refused to boot from the hard drive. When ever the laptop is switched on it shows operating system not found, press f2 for diagnostic. Even after doing the diagnostics it still won't both. What could be the issue?

HP 255 G8: Can't find the backlight fuse!

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 17:37:38 -0700

I purchased a M49514-601 motherboard to replace the old dual core version of the HP 255 G8 series. Come to find out, the screen works (when you shine a light directly on it) but the backlight does not activate. I've tried multiple screens and verified with two other motherboards and found the issue to be on this board. I can use the HDMI with an external screen but that makes it a desktop and not a laptop. Does anyone know where the fuse is located for this particular board for the backlight? I cannot find a schematic for this model anywhere, paid or otherwise. I'm not afraid to cannibalize one of 4 other 255 G8 boards for another fuse if need be. Google and Youtube have not helped. Apparently it’s supposed to be near the lcd 30 pin connector on either the front or back of the board.

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 17:48:56 -0700

While turning on the PC, the system displays the message Diagnosing your PC followed by Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete. However the system does not start up afterward.
