Hello,
I have an HP "Chromebook" given to me by a friend. The charging light is on, and white, but it will not turn on. The computer doesn't even try to start. I've tried the refresh and power thing but that won't work either. Please help! The PC has been dead for a while, but I don't know how long, or what it runs on. I've never seen the PC in working shape. Thank you!

HP Envy won't wake up from sleep
Okay, I am fully aware that this is a problem that has vexed many other users. I have spent many hours over the last two months trying to follow the advice of people here, but like many others, nothing is working.
I bought my HP Envy x360 about 8 months ago. From the very outset, I have had problems with the computer going to sleep after a period of inactivity, and then I can't do anything to wake it up. Shaking the attached wireless mouse, pressing or using the touchpad or the touchscreen, and hitting every key on the keyboard doesn't work. Ctrl-alt-delete does nothing. The only thing I can do it hold down the power button and force it to shut down.
I have verified that the keyboard driver software is updated.
I have gone to the "choose what the power buttons do" in the control panel and experimented with different settings.
I have changed the power mode/power settings.
I have gone to the Device Manager and checked the keyboard settings. Indeed, for one of the keyboards listed (there are 3, which I don't understand since I've only ever used the built-in keyboard), I have confirmed that the "allow device to wake up" button is clicked.
I have stayed up to date with all Windows 10 updates.
I have downloaded and installed all recommended HP updates. I have not installed all the optional updates.
I have updated the BIOS (but that was to try to solve a non-stop fan issue - which I will ask about in another thread).
Despite all these efforts, this still has not solved the not-waking-up problem. This is rather frustrating. I will acknowledge that I am not computer savvy at all, but I have done what I can to find solutions on this forum and elsewhere.
Any help?

Re: How can I restore my PC?
Windows 10 can be restored to factory settings by either performing a “refresh” of your PC (without affecting your files) or by performing a “reset” (this removes personal files).
Other options include a system restore if System Restore wasn’t turned off or using third-party recovery software.

Re: Boot device not found
I suggest you to follow these methods below to fix your issue:
1. Recovery options in Windows 10
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-10-recovery-options
2. Run CHKDSK through Command Prompt (Admin) Window.
a:Right click on the Start Windows icon, then the Command Prompt (Admin).
b:Type these following command, and replace the X with the drive letter you wish to scan: “CHKDSK X:”, we suggest you use “CHKDSK X: /F”, only then it can correct errors.
c:Hit the enter key, Command Prompt will now start CHKDSK.
3.You may be facing the above issue due to the corrupted boot partition present on the computer. Repair your computer by creating a Windows 10 Bootable media (i.e. USB or DVD) using Media Creation Tool:

Re: HP Spectre 15-ch055na won’t upgrade to 1809
It should not be problem to return laptop to HP - at least here in Czech republic, we have a warranty law here and if any issue repeats for 3 times HP have to take laptop back and return money - and it is easy way:
I'm on 1803, WU force me 1809 automatically - laptop hangs - I will send it to HP, they will install 1803, after sometime WU again install 1809 I will send it to HP once again, they will install 1803..... in third attempt they have to return me a money...

Re: error message registering: can not find script file ...vdlxo,js
When you ran your Anti-Virus software, it deleted some of the temporary files in your temporary folder in Windows 10. Your software found possible harmful files and have deleted them as prevention.

Re: Computer won't restart after interrupted update
Hi David,
Thank you so much for your help. None of the USB ports work on the computer. Any other suggestions?

Re: Computer won't restart after interrupted update
Hi Maria,
When you say "none of the USB ports work" do you mean they already did not work before the update problem? How do you know the ports are not working? Did you create the pendrive with Windows OS on it following the Microsoft guide? Do you have a DVD reader in the notebook?
Let me know,
David

HP Pavilion Struggling to Boot
For a few months now my laptop has been struggling to start. It had been very temperamental in the sense that you would have to keep holding on/off for 10 - 15 times before it would boot and then it would work fine until it went to sleep and you'd have to manually restart it. I've not used it in a couple weeks and now it's even harder to start. When I finally manage to get it to turn on it gives me Windows Troubleshooting options such as 'use different operating system', repair, restore, use USB etc. None of which will work as it just turns the screen to black after a while. It's not even 3 years old yet!!
I've had the message 'the selected boot device failed' which then took me in to a setup utility. The system failure log just has '090B' alongside about 20 times that this failure must have occured. Any idea how to solve this?
