Compaq CQ5205Y: Short Test SMART fail.

Similar Questions

• SMART short test failed

  Under hardware Maintence diagnosed and he tells me that the SMART short Test failed what it means and how to fix this

  I think that trying to DEFRAGMENT a hard disk 'default' is the wrong thing to do.

  Compare to the conduct of a dirt road with Bald tires - while the Bald tires may be OK on a dry, paved, road between them work "hard" will result in a failure of the tire.

  Similarly, many files on the hard drive when it is expected to be soon to fail, is also a bad idea.

  Any small computer boss store can sell you a hard drive brand new and may try to "clone" of 100% of the hard drive of the 'old' drive on 'new' disk

  Price?  It depends on the capacity (250 GB? 500 GB? 1000GO? 2000 GB?).

  About US $100, you will have a new disk drive with a capacity greater than your current drive.

  Add $50 to $100 US for the technician:

  Open the computer case,

  * Check the physical size and the capacity of the old-disk drive, to recommend a "compatible" replacement

  * Fix temporarily the new discs,

  * run the software "-disk cloning."

  * delete the old records (and he will give it to you, so that you can literally hammer it, so that no one will ever be able to read one of your folders – think 'security'),

  * connect permanently the new disks.

  * close the computer case,

  * test it.

  It also depends on the "age" of your computer.

  If it is still running Windows XP or Windows Vista, it will be over ten years - REPLACE a computer of this type.

  rather than spend more than US $150 to keep until something else died of "old age".

  Hello Atelier42, this usually indicates that you have a hard disk failure.

  I would like to back up my data as soon as possible, just in case the hard drive breaks down actually.

  You must also make sure that you have the HP Recovery restore set for your system recovery disc in case you do not want to replace the hard drive.

  With this restore HP Recovery disk set, you could replace a defective hard drive and use this disk set to your HP system back as it was when shipped. Then, you could put your data saved on your system.

• Hard drive DST short test failed

  My HP Pavilion dv6-6c35dx laptop computer fails to load Windows. I ran diagnostics and got a quick access error (303). HP UEFI Diagnostics for hard drive failed the DST short test with failure code MBX47F 0006QU PXGK01 QT 60 03. Does this mean I need to replace my hard drive? Product ID of my laptop is A6Y53UAR #ABA and I have Win7-64 installed on it.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Your laptop is listed as coming with a HARD drive from 640 GB, but given that there is little difference in cost, you can replace this with a 750 GB option.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  750 GB hard drive for laptop.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  ***************************************************************

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system, you can create your own installer of Windows 7 USB drive flash as follows.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  Using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below--these Images are of a very respected source (Digital River).

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Once completed, use the Microsoft Tool on the following link to create a USB bootable Windows 7 installer - you will need a 4 GB flash for this drive.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  When creating, tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the Windows 7 flash player.  Select the Boot Options menu (usually f9).  Use the arrow keys to select the flash drive and press ENTER.

  If your laptop will boot from it, use the flash player to perform the installation, enter the activation key for Windows on the label of the COA in the request and once the installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without the software load extra normally delivered with OEM installations.

• Pavilion 2206TX: hard drive DST short test failed

  Hard drive DST short test failed.

  For a few days, my laptop is not starting.

  Run the diagnostics showed "hard drive DST short test failed.

  I removed the hard drive [brand Toshiba] and connected as an external drive to a Mac.

  I am able to access your hard drive and copy some content from it. So, it looks like a problem with the hard drive.

  Is this a problem with the connection of harrdisk to the motherboard or with the hard drive itself?

  Help, please.

  Hello
  
  Yes, you can use your friend recovery media in your. It should work.
  
  I'm not able to find a recovery media for your model of third-party vendors too.
  
  No, you can't create USB recovery by plugging the old drive as external references to another PC. You have to use HP application recovery manager supplied with your laptop and create a set. I think that you will not be able to do from a failing drive.

• HP G62: DST short test system Diagnostics failed HP G62

  Hello.

  Windows 7 x 64 SP1

  I managed the system diagnosis HP test that you can access during startup by pressing ESC. The computer passes the test of memory and disk hard test but failed the test at startup and testing of tune-up with the same error:

  DST short failed

  Failure ID: 9LNF9R-50881W-XD014J-60QG03
  Product ID: XF522EA #AB9

  What does that mean?

  Thank you for your time and your help.

  Hello

  It really sounds like the HARD drive starts to fail, then it would probably be better to replace it before installing Windows 10.

  The only other option that might be interesting to try would be to zero the drive then reinstall the original OS and see if you still get the uefi diagnostic errors.

  You have your media recovery (disks or USB key) to be able to reinstall Windows 7?

  Kind regards

• SMART short test freezes my Win 8.1

  Dashboard 1.1.1 Win 8.1 x 64 Sandisk Extreme with firmware R211

  SMART short test starts well but once it reaches 80% it stops and everything is unresponsive. HDD LED to stop blinking and only the mouse moves. Nothing works. Duty to force the reboot with powerbutton.

  The drive completely crashed the next day. Not so strange that he behaved like that. I'll go it replaced under warranty.

• Start DST short Test failed, cannot start - data recovery

  Hello!

  A week ago, I posted the message that - at the start - I get a blue screen and the diagnostic utility says that start DST short Test failed...

  I was told that the bad far developed - unfortunately in these square where some files needed to start...

  There is, however, always a guarantee

  I installed the HARD drive in an external enclosure, so I already transferred my files, screensavers & fonts and so on on another HARD drive - well. But one thing that is still missing EMAILS. E-mail messages that are in Outlook Express as well as the different accounts that I use (Finally, I still not know the settings, but I would simply import the account to my new installation)...

  Is THERE ANY CHANCE to get these EMAILS (at least and go as far as accounts) WITHOUT booting the system with this very HARD (which currently doesn't)... where these mails are stored? or should I try to get windows working again to access Outlook & emails?

  
  

• Disk HARD - short test error start DST FAILED

• DST short hard drive failed, code 64XTPH - 00078 M-X87SXG-60RW03

  I experienced detention and the system freezes on my Compaq CQ2909EO desktop. Guarantee was completed two weeks ago, and unsurprisingly the problems started almost immediately after that. He went so far, that I was forced to do a check disk onto another computer with Freecom Dock. Quite a few errors have been resolved, so I installed the drive in my Compaq and method to rearm the system settings and reinstall Win 8. I was able to do the reinstall without problem, but when running Windows updates the system froze again. It crashes every time, the first thing that can happen is the HARD drive light on the front turns off. I knew what to look for in the event log and found half a dozen events like this:

  Event ID 129 - storachi - Reset device, \Device\RaidPort0, has been published

  So I installed the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI and he ran. Everything seems to be ok, but short drive self test (DST) fails with code 64XTPH - 00078 M-X87SXG-60RW03. Does that mean I have a defective hard drive, or possibly a faulty controller? I need to know whether to buy a new player or a whole new non-HP-rendering (more under warranty, please) computer.

  A hard drive DST error usually indicates that the hard disk has failed or is subject to fail and will have to replaced. After replacing the hard drive, please use the support of HP recovery, you created earlier to return the computer to a factory State.

  If you create your HP recovery media when you first set up your computer, please contact the official support of HP in your region / country, via the HP portal to support all over the world, to see if the HP recovery support is available for your computer.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• laptop Pavilion 15 PCn205TX: drive hard short DST check failed

  The problem is that my computer takes really long to start about 1 to 2 hours (yes I was sick for hours)

  Diagnosics result told that check DST short of disk hard failed and gave the failure ID

  6E1W7W-76R81Q-MFPWWK-60QU03

  Hello

  Error code 24 characters confirm a failure of the short test (DST) disk Self and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the slow startup problem you describe.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  Kind regards
