I have a HP 250 G4, I updated it's drivers, then I found out that some keys are no longer working unless I press and hold on to one of the keys for a while until that key starts working, then all the keys begin to work again in a normal way, but when I don't use the keyboard for a short while, those keys stop working unless I press and hold on to one of them again.

HP 250 G3: Fan starts then stops, no power, caps lock blinks slowly

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 06:17:57 -0700

Hi,

Model is X0Q77ES, 250GB SSD, Model 250 G5

What I’ve tried so far;

Windows Key+B and Windows key+V BIOS and CMOS resets. Didn’t work, fan whirred then stopped, then caps lock blinks. Have to remove battery to stop this
Created BIOS recovery USB from HP Support. Inserted in USB, tried turning on normally and then turning on with WK+B held down. Same result as previous
Went through HP virtual assistance confirming AC adaptor works etc.

Have ended up fairly confident this is a major hardware fault and now requires investigation. On reading, I’ve picked up from various webpages that the ram or hard drive could be the problem.

Found a few answers in ifixit about rotating ram, gpu reset with hairdryer etc. etc, but nothing exactly the same as my issue, so figured I’d put this out there to the experienced users and ask for help.

I’ve been around computers a long time and happy to take things apart, but a novice with laptops and need some guidance for next steps please.

Thanks

Harvey

HP 250 G3: Single green horizontal line on laptop screen?

Mon, 06 Sep 2021 21:27:03 -0700

I have a HP 250 G5 laptop and a single, thin, green, horizontal line has appeared across the middle of the screen.

On a white background the line is hardly noticeable but any other colour and its visible.

I’m a novice but i’ve tried the easy steps in case it’s software related like system restore, updating graphics drivers, lowering refresh rate but no success.

The line appears above the cursor and is still there when i reboot to BIOS settings.

Does anyone know what the problem could be ??

Thank you for any help..

HP 250 G3: Problem with my HARD DRIVE. It's not being recognized!

Tue, 20 Mar 2018 13:12:02 -0700

Good afternoon. I recently bought a laptop "HP 250 G6" brand new. When i booted it it was okey. After 3 hours when i tried to open it, it said "boot device not found". I called HP support and they said to run a hard disk diagnostic. I did it and it said that there is no hard drive inside. I sent it back to them to send me a new laptop "DOA" but they said that they also have to see the problem and then they are gonna send me a new one. They sent me an e-mail saying that their diagnostic didn't find the problem and that the hard drive is ok. Do you have an idea of what could have happen?

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 07:43:27 -0700

Laptop wont go past the very initial screen which is just mentions the key yo go ijnto.bios setup. It gets to that screen, shutsoff and starts again and does this in an infinite loop.

If i go into bios setup, or diagnostics the screen does not shut off. Seems to only happen in the boot.

I have recently replaced the laptop screen as the old one was cracked, when I put the new one in and powered up the machine the screen was extremely dark and the login screen was only visible when shining a torch at the display. I have tried plugging into an external monitor and that works fine. Does anyone know a solution for this or any additional troubleshooting that I can do? Thank you in advance.

HP 250 G3: power button not working for booting.. but opening lid does?

Sat, 24 Mar 2018 12:33:36 -0700

My HP250 power button won't turn it on but instead works for forced shutdown or hibernation/sleep purposes only. the only way I'm able to switch on the laptop is to remove all power sources that being the battery or adapter cable then after I would close the lid and place back battery or adapter cable, when I open the lid that's when the laptop boots into windows. I have also resorted to force shut it down because every time after shutdown it automatically restarts.

what could be the cause of this ?

I have already tried a couple of those electrostatic discharge methods for the power button to work.
