Kindly take it to an IT Engr to troubleshoot and fix the issue. It is possible the RAM slot needs to be cleaned and reseated.

signorxx: Please this TOSHIBA Z30 C BATTERY IS URGENTLY NEEDED IN ABUJA.
Remove the battery then check and share the replacement model number. You can as well snap and share the pics of the battery specifications for easy identification.
It is a good laptop for word processing and other graphics softwares like CorelDraw Suite. It comes with a 6th Gen processor, SSD, keyboard light etc. The price is affordable for someone that needs something sleek and is good for other educational purposes. In conclusion, it is a rugged laptop.
Arthaus: I want to express my profound gratitude to Udemzyudex, for his kind assistance, despite being choked up with work, and I can truly affirm that he is a technician's technician. Despite doing his best regardingmy ZBOOK complaint, he went as far as flashing the BIOS chip and when it seems like the problem persisted, he sadly told me that we were out of options. Now to the good news, having seen him at CV, Ikeja on Friday, my mind was restlessand by Saturday, I had this prodding to boot the system. When I did, it still showed same glitchy screen as usual which had also shown after the BIOS flashing. After few seconds, I just intuitively pressed the "enter" key, and to my surprise, the screen went dark, then lit up albeit blank. After a while, I saw the dotted circle, followed by the "please wait"... Next thing I saw was the login screen and pronto, I logged in. Now with his guidance, I was able to switch the hard drive to another system where I installed windows 11pro. The initial OS was windows 10pro. After swapping back the HDD to the HP, I saw the HP logo briefly on the boot screen. Mind you, the screen on booting no longer showed anything like esc or f2 options to get into BIOS or boot options. Even now I have done a clean install, the screen went glitchy briefly on restart before finishing the boot sequence properly. I will keep you guys updated as soon as I am done with the windows update processes online. Special thanks to Fixitng, who gave me potential troubleshooting directions as early as 6am on Thursday too.
Glad that udemzyudex assisted you in sorting out the issues. Please keep us updated. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. I tried plugging it in another laptop, but still status quo. It didn't detect it at all, although the blue light indicator of the drive was blinking as usual, so the cable is working fine and the issue is indeed from the drive itself.
Go to Manage to see a list of disks on the system. There you will find the status of the external drive if it requires initialization or format. Ensure the external drive is plugged while you go to manage.
I am unable to view the files in my external hard disk. When I plug it to my laptop, it takes forever to load, before it eventually displays a pop up message which contains the below:
"You need to format the disk in drive : D before you can use it..."
Been trying to upload a screenshot but unable to. It has been working fine since, before this issue started recently.
What do I do at this point? I can't afford to lose the contents pleaseeeeee
Plug the external hard drive in another laptop to see if you can access the contents. If it fail to open in another laptop you need a hard disk repair tool or recovery software.
Revert back for further directives after trying the above.
Please I've not used my HP folio for over a week. The folio was working smoothly on the last use. However, I tried powering it up 2 days ago, noticed the keyboard backlight keeps blinking. The screen doesn't come on. The keyboard light will keep blinking for over 30 mins till the fan will just start blowing noisily. What could be the issue? How do I fix it?
Some weeks ago Before this happened, it will suddenly go off and show blue screen diagnostics. But whenever I remove and reinstall the battery, it works just fine.
Update: I swapped the ram sticks. It powers on without keyboard light blinking. However, the screen doesn't come on. The capslock key blinks twice, and the fan starts blowing very noisily.
In my opinion:
You need to troubleshoot the memory to be sure the motherboard is compatible with the two memory sticks.
It is likely the system can no longer carry both at the same time or one is weak and gradually failing so you need to identify the defective one.
However, kindly remove the battery followed by both RAM sticks. Clean the memory slots and RAM teeth. Insert only one RAM and plug the system to power without the battery. Switch ON the laptop. If it does not display manufacturer logo, try the other RAM.
If it works, shutdown and insert the battery.
Do not insert both the memory for now rather you should replace same with a higher GB than using 2 two sticks.
For instance use one 8GB than x2 4GB or 16GB than x2 8GB
Arthaus: Yes, the TV automatically shows which of the HDMI ports that's connected or hooked up to any display source. Given the aforementioned scenario, what could possibly be the diagnosis? And any hopes of repair/resolution?
Try the following options
1. Power ON the system and wait for 50 secs for it to get to Windows logon screen, use Fn + F key depending on the function key for external display
2. If the above option doesn’t work, shutdown the system then open the back cover and disconnect the display connector from the motherboard. Reconnect the HDMI to the Tv and power ON the laptop.
Option 2 will definitely work because that’s the only way you can access BIOS on external display without Fn key. Once you are able to access the laptop on your Tv go to device manager - display and roll back the graphics driver.
It is possible your screen needs replacement too.
If the problem persists after 2nd option, take it to a technician to put another screen or revert back for further technical assistance.

Any advice about how to fix this please??
Good morning,
Sorry about the issue you are facing.
I will be glad to assist you.
Gently disconnect the keyboard flex from the motherboard to see if it will boot properly
If it does, gently tap all the keys on the keyboard one after the other to check if anyone is stuck with debris.
After trying the above options and the issue continues you will need to remove the SSD and replace with a good one then reload the OS.
So many laptops come with inferior SSD which develop issues after months of usage.
Pk01: boss my what got the same problem with the poster above.. he says some I c's inside the mother bot got burned..he fixed it..but the laptop is now slow like a snail..please what do you think is the solution. The hard disk inside is a new one though..someone says I should get SSD that is faster..
Troubleshooting it requires the following:
1. There’s need to check the laptop cooling system to be sure the fan is working well and its heat sink free from debris. 2. Most of the new HDD are inferior and will result to low speed performance. If your laptop supports M.2 SSD you can replace with the original or rather get a sata SSD. 3. Kindly downgrade the laptop to Windows 10 if it is currently running Windows 11 (This option is applicable to Intel Pentium or Core i3 processors with HDD) 4. Upgrade your RAM from 4GB to 8GB
In summary Points 1 & 2 should be considered and discussed with your IT Engr for fix.
It is possible the new HDD is refurbished and defective.

TundRash: I finally found a solution that fixed 99% of the issues i mentioned here. What did i do? I download Media Creation Tool setup file from Microsoft website. Through that, i was able to download the windows 10 installation file which fixed the issues. I had the option keep all of my personal files and installed apps. The only issue left unsolved now is the Bluetooth.
Go to your laptop manufacturer’s website support page, enter the system model and OS and download the Bluetooth driver. You can as well run windows update to update your drivers.
XxRavenxX: My laptop HP 840 G3 doesn't power on. Whenever I put it to charge, the power button lights up, the charging light blinks between orange and white for some seconds then it goes off before doing this again.
There’s an issue with either the memory nor motherboard.
Kindly specify your location for further assistance.
mdpeace: Good day my engineers, weeks ago, my laptop stopped charging and turning on. I took it to a technician. It now charges but turns off few seconds during booting or after booting. What could be wrong please
You need to be specific on what the technician did to get the laptop working. Did he just replace the charger or worked on the motherboard.
The above will aid us to provide you with solution.

AhmedChiz: Hello everyone and the technicians in the house.
On this faithful day, I was listening to music on my PC when it suddenly went off, I on it again and it stated "Window repair". After the window repair reached 100% it came up but when I tried to used it again it went off. Since then it would display windows repair, come up after while and shutdown after few minutes. Now the system can't come up, it only displays a white light on the keyboard. What what could be the problem? It HP 630 AMD. Thanks.
Overheating due to faulty fan or clogged processor vent (heat sink) can cause the problem of booting and going off abruptly. Another thing that can cause it is if water has penetrated into the motherboard without your knowledge. So there are other possible reasons.
You need a hardware engr to troubleshoot the issue and resolve accordingly.

Abbeyb1ack: Pls i have a hdd which i used for my andriod box Mistakenly i set it has the system storage(it wont work on any other device) instead of external storage
I recently formatted my andriod box And the box requires me to format d HDD before i can use it as system storage or external storage
The HDD is also not working on my laptop Pls how do i get the files without formatting the HDD
As per the screenshot you shared.
On the drop down options from right click.
Do the following:
1. Click Change Drive Letter and Path 2. The system will automatically choose a drive letter for you for instance D: or E: 3. Select the Drive Letter 4. Continue the process until it assigns the new Drive Letter
You will find the HDD on This PC once the above process is successfully completed.
Aemmyjah: My PC has been showing restarting for over an hour now What do I do?
In cases like this, press and hold the power button until the system goes off completely before releasing the button. Then wait for 15 secs and power it on. It will run some diagnostics repair for the start up and eventually boot.
