Common HP Faults

• “Boot device not found (3F0)” error at start-up
• HP PC Hardware Diagnostics reporting a storage failure
• Laptop powers on with lights but a black screen
• BitLocker recovery key requested after a BIOS update
• NVMe SSD failure or Intel Optane-accelerated drives splitting apart
• Liquid spills and hinge damage cracking the case

Before you send your device – five things to avoid

• Switch the device off and leave it off – every power cycle can make physical damage worse
• Do not run CHKDSK, Disk First Aid, fsck or recovery software on a drive that clicks, beeps or is slow
• Do not open the drive or swap the circuit board – modern boards hold drive-specific adaptive data
• Do not reinstall the operating system or initialise the disk when prompted
• Keep liquid-damaged devices unpowered and bring them in as quickly as possible
