If your HP laptop is experiencing issues and you’re unsure how to fix it, don’t panic. There are a few easy steps you can take to get your computer back up and running. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of repairing your HP laptop.
Step 1: Access Automatic Repair Screen
To begin, start your PC and press the F9 key repeatedly to access the Automatic Repair Screen. If your F9 key doesn’t work, try your other F keys, such as F8 or F7. If you still can’t access the Automatic Repair Screen, start your PC and press the power button while it tries to load Windows to force it to shut down. Do this three times in a row to access the Automatic Repair Screen.
Step 2: Enter Advanced Options
Once you’ve accessed the Automatic Repair Screen, click on “Advanced Options” and then click on it again to enter the advanced options menu. From here, click on “Command Prompt.”
Step 3: Repair Windows
Type “chkdskd colon slash f slash r” into the command prompt and press enter. Replace “d” with your hard drive letter (yours could be C or E, etc.). Wait for Windows to be repaired, then type “exit” and press enter to leave the cmd. Press “continue” to restart.
If this doesn’t work, click on “Troubleshoot,” select “Advanced Options,” and then choose “Command Prompt” again. Type “bootrec fix mbr” and press enter, followed by “bootrec fix boot” and press enter. If you get access denied, type “bootrec fix boot” again and press enter. Then type “bcd edit slash export c colon bcd backup” and press enter. Type “attrib c colon slash boot bcd hyphen h hyphen r hyphen s” and press enter. Type “ren c colon slash boot slash bcdspacebcd.old” and press enter. Type “bootrec rebuild bcd” and press enter. Type “y” and then press enter, followed by “exit” and then press enter. Press “continue” to restart.
Step 4: System Restore
If the previous steps didn’t work, click on “Troubleshoot,” select “Advanced Options,” and then click on “System Restore.” Press “Next,” select your latest restore point, and then press “Next” again. Press “Finish” and then press “Yes.” Wait for your PC to be restored.
Step 5: Reset Your PC
If none of the above steps work, click on “Troubleshoot,” select “Reset This PC,” and then choose whether or not you want to keep your personal files. Press “Reset This PC” and wait for Windows to reset. Select your account, type in your password, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset.
In conclusion, repairing your HP laptop doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By following these simple steps, you can get your computer back up and running in no time.
