My laptop doesn't run any disks inserted into the disk drive, there is a spinning noise as if the disk is moving, but also a scratching noise.

HP Pavilion dv7-1285dx: It scrolls all by itself, why!?

Mon, 12 Jun 2017 16:37:37 -0700

My laptop randomly scrolls thru pages by itself. Once it starts, it doesn't stop. Can't decide if it's the keyboard or the touchpad.. anyone else have this problem and knows how to solve the mystery, I'd love to hear about it.

HP Pavilion dv7-1285dx: Wont boot without screen attached

Sat, 19 Jan 2019 22:22:54 -0700

I have this Pavilian, really old, and all the plastic broken everywhere (long story)

I want to turn it into a “MultiConsole” i had dissasembled everything and i think i messed op the lid sensor. so now when i turn it on. the monitor just barely shows hp logo and turn off (Like the lid is closed)

the easyes solution is to entirely remove the screen and connect it to a monitor trough HDMI. i have signal, but it just says “Prepare OS for Boot” (The hdd has a correctly installed system and it boots perfectly)

If i remove the Lid Screen, the system refuses to boot, and it doesnt allow me to enter bios or anything.

Any hints would be really appreciated!
