HP Pavilion 17-f004dx: I need to replace the WIFI card but we forgot the Admin password

Mon, 12 Mar 2018 11:43:06 -0700

How can I reset my Admin Password without a reset disk and then replace my WIFI card so that I can access the internet again. USB ports ask for the password when I try to load software to correct the issue.

HP Pavilion 17-f004dx: Why is my screen black and unresponsive

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 08:57:03 -0700

Hello,

So recently after not being on my laptop for roughly a week, i decided to go turn it back on to do some work. But it didnt... The screen stayed black and all i got was power to the keyboard and the caps lock button flashing at 3 second intervals. Consistently, Like it will do that for hours. Ive drained the capacitors restarted it, and nothing. What happened ? I havent dropped it or anything. Ive taken it apart. Re-seated everything... Help ! Im thinking it may be in a boot cycle but i dont know....
