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 8440p: How can I fix my laptop that turns on but shows nothing on the screen?

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 03:43:25 -0700

So I decided to update to my HP 8440p elitebook and thought I could do it just like any other software, I had no idea.

I downloaded the installation from the official website and opened it and hit next next install like an idiot. The laptop turned off, I turned it on but nothing shows up on the monitor, just a black screen.

I did notice that the caps lock turns off and on which doesn't happen normally.

I've tried to hook up the laptop to an external monitor but still nothing just a black screen.

I would appreciate some help, thanks!

HP EliteBook 2570p: Why is my pc taking too long to start up?

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 05:24:21 -0700

It takes almost 6-7 mins before it starts up!

I've tried several ways to solve the problem: toggling off the startup apps, optimizing the machine for the best performance, uninstalling several apps that I found out I didn't need (and probably were the cause of the problem), running some command prompt programs for fixing maybe any corrupted files and restoring the health of the machine, etc...

All of these, and more, haven't worked!

HP EliteBook 8560w: Boot Device Not Found

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 08:20:39 -0700

This laptop was not originally mine as it was handed down to me. The laptop has always worked fine and even would set up just fine however I was stupid and played around with it when I wanted to try to factory restart the laptop. Now whenever it turns on, it just says boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk. If anyone can, please help figure this out because I really don't want to have to spend almost $1000 on a new laptop.
