How to do a Hard Reset on a HP laptop?

Hard Reset allows you to solve problems of software and hardware

This post looks at HP laptops.

 

Hello, I will do a quick post on how to do a Hard Reset. A hard or forced Reset clears all the information in the memory of the computer which can restore the functionality. Reset your computer forces the system to erase and restore the software connections between the BIOS and hardware.

Perform a hard or forced reset may fix the following:

  • Windows stops responding
  • Computer stops before Windows loads (no boot, a blinking cursor on a black screen, or errors related to the operating system not found or missing disk)
  • View suddenly turns off and remains empty
  • Software freezes
  • Keyboard unresponsive
  • The computer did not return from standby or sleep mode
  • An external device stops responding (turn off the power to the device in addition to perform the steps in this document)

When you perform a hard reset, you must disconnect or remove all devices. You should start and test the computer itself and then reconnect a device at a time. To solve the high beginning or operational problem, you must run the wizard from the HP Support, or manually install the drivers all updated by Microsoft and HP.

To perform a hard reset, use the following steps:

To perform a hard reset, use the following steps:

  1. Turn off the computer.
  2. Remove the computer from the docking station or port replicator.
  3. Disconnect all external devices connected: displays of devices USB, printers, external storage, etc..
  4. Unplug the laptop AC adapter.
  5. Remove the battery from the compartment to batteries.
  6. Press and hold button power for about 15 seconds, remove any residual electric charge capacitors that protect memory.
  7. Insert the battery and plug the power adapter into the laptop. but do not connect peripheral devices.
  8. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
  9. If a boot menu appears, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows normally , and then press the Enter key.
  10. After you have reconnected each peripheral device, run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.

Now, if your computer has a non-removable battery, these steps will not work. Instead, refer to use a Reset forced to solve Hardware and Software questions on laptop with a sealed Non removable b... .

I hope that this solves any problem you can have that happen with your laptop.

  • How to perform a hard reset.

    Although he can't be guaranteed to solve printing problems, a Hard Reset can solve many of them and is often a good first step.  Try following the steps in order.

    1. Unplug all cables and cards of memory in the printer.  Unplug the power cable, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.
    2. Unplug the other end of the power cord.
    3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
    4. After 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet ( not a surge protector or battery backup ).
    5. Connect the power cord to the back of the printer.
    6. The printer should automatically feed back upward.  If not, turn it on with the power button.
    7. Try to make a photocopy (if your printer is a printer all in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.
    8. Connect all other cables to the printer.

    If this solved your problem, no other troubleshooting is necessary.  You can take additional measures if necessary, but it is often a good first step.

    It is recommended that the printer be connected directly to a wall outlet to ensure a constant level of power.  Sometimes, when plugged into a surge protector or battery backup, the quantity of electricity is not received by the printer.  Power problems can cause printing problems.  It is particularly important to be plugged directly into a wall outlet with wireless connectivity problems, "sleep mode" and other power problems.

    Troubleshooting hardware and software with a Hard Reset

    Recently, I have been see a large number of issues that can be resolved, or at least try to be solved with a hard reset. A hard reset is one of the major steps in troubleshooting for a wide variety of issues. Issues such as a none responsive, computer keyboard do not start properly, software frozen, etc.

    Why a hard reset works:

    By performing a hard reset, you must remove all power from the computer. This will not occur when you restart or shut down the computer. Even by removing the battery briefly, there may be still some electricity stored in capacitors. When you do the hard reset it deletes the last drop of power from the computer. This clears all the RAM and basically force the computer to re-establish a connection between the BIOs and hardware. It will solve some problems wobbly a majority of the time, and therefore, why it is a great troubleshooting step base.

    If this does not resolve the problem, you are seen be sure to create a new thread and lists all the troubleshooting steps you have tried and also to give a detailed explanation on the issue that you are experiencing.

    Can help to clean the contacts of the cartridge.  To do this, open the door and remove the ink cartridges.  When the door is open, remove the power cord at the back of the printer while the printer is on.  Follow the steps described in the following link.  Start at step 2  Prior to re - connect the power cord to the back of the printer, make sure that the other end of the power cord is plugged into a wall outlet (not a surge protector, power or battery backup).  Does that help?

    What do you mean by a hard reset? This term is not the troubleshooting steps. There is no reboot, reset, restore from backup, restore to factory. A reset here is the sleep/wake and home together buttons until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart. No data is assigned to this procedure.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how can I perfom a 'hard reset' on the 4.3 version < OS from my BlackBerry?

    Hello world

    I recently encountered a problem on the 8800 and 8300 models, but more generally on all models, this version of the OS is older than the 4.3. Indeed, I noticed that the Wipe of the device functionality is not efficient enough to have your device in a clean state. For example, I have this app that I can't get rid of even after that I did a wipe on my device.

    There is also the /resettofactory command, but as explained in this article (http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/documentLink.do?externalID=KB17215), it does not work on peripheral models this version of the OS is less than 4.3. So my question is:

    How to perform a hard reset on the device that the version of the OS is less than 4.3?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well well... your original post not mentioned that you had used the WIPE command in JLCmder, you did mention the Resettofactory command. They are not the same.

    I used successfully both JLCmder and JavaLoader wipe devices both less and more than 4.3. I don't know why it does not work for you.

    So... you're saying that even if you clean the machine using JLCmder or JavaLoader, this a rest app?

  • Hard reset

    Recently, I bought a HP Pavilion x 360 a232nd.

    Tonight, I tried to update the software and the bios via the HP program on the laptop.

    Unfortunately, something went wrong during the update and the laptop froze.

    The screen is activated, the mouse cursor works, fan is running, but nothing happens.

    I can't turn off the laptop and I can not turn the screen off power (not even when I close the laptop).

    I can't find information on how to perform a hard reset on the x 360 Pavilion.

    Y at - there someone who can tell me what to do?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I found the information about the hard reset earlier, but the laptop could not be turned off, so a hard reset was not possible.

    Finally, the battery discharged and after that, I could recharge the battery and restart the laptop. It seems to work fine now.
