HP EliteBook 8560p: Laptop turns on, caps lock blinks, but the screen doesn't show.

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 10:14:41 -0700

I want a laptop, but I don't want to spend three-hundred dollars. So my family has this old HP EliteBook 8560p and I thought I would use it temporarily. I knew from the start that the HDD was broken. So I swapped out the original drive with a known-good one. I did a quick check through to make sure that all the cables were connected. Then I pressed the power button. The lights turn on, the HDD starts, the fans spin, the caps lock light starts blinking, the screen stays off, and that's all it does. I left it like that for five minutes and the screen stayed off with the fan going full speed. Any ideas?

HP EliteBook 8560p: Why Is My CPU Clock Speed Very Low When Plugged In?

Fri, 10 May 2024 06:00:56 -0700

Hello,

I have been using an HP EliteBook 8560p for a while now. It performs tasks very well when on battery power, but when plugged in, it becomes unresponsive and unusable. It was hard to get the task manager screenshot, but I managed.

For some reason, the CPU is at 0.11 GHz when plugged in, but it goes to around 1 GHz (an average speed on the desktop with all apps closed) when on battery power. Can anyone explain and help me solve the significant slowdown of the CPU when plugged in? Thanks.

Here is a picture @oldturkey03,

I decided to check the motherboard's make and model from Windows, and the make is Hewlett-Packard with the model number 1618.
