Hi, the water had spilled on my laptop when it is turned off and disconnect with fees. After I try to dry it in the Sun after it dries I try to turn it on. But I saw this post about it not found 'Boot device. Please install an operating system on your hard drive. "HDD (3fo) F2 diagnostics system for more information, please visit:www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup '. I just want to know if the laptop is really damaged or not my laptop is the hp envy ultrabook 4-1112TX

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but any TIME you spill water on your laptop, it will do SOME damage ‑‑ the only question is, how much!

You can work through the details in this thread to see if something helps you: you just spilled water or coffee on your laptop - what you need to do here is

You should also try the steps in this thread to see if the hard drive has failed: test a hard drive in the BIOS. HP® customer support

If nothing helps, your only recourse is to take the laptop to HP Service Center where they can disassemble, assess the damage and see what is involved in repairing it. Here is information on Service Centers: HP Notebook PC - use a repair center certified HP to repair a laptop | HP® customer support

Good luck

  • 15 15 HP - r208nl: start the device not found error (3FO)

    Hello

    I have this laptop from less-than-one-year-old (this guy: http://icecat.us/us/p/hp/l0n16ea/laptops-0889296492238-15-r208nl-26524145.html) and I have the Boot Device not found error infamous.

    I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the problem occurred a few weeks after the upgrade to Windows 10 (when bought, laptop had Windows 8.1, probably an update of Windows 7).

    Also, I noticed this basic operation to during the priming phase take a long time. For example, when I press F10, it takes about 1-2 minutes to bring up the BIOS configuration screen.

    There are a number of similar questions on this forum, but the proposed solutions do not apply to my case or simply do not work. Here's what I've tried so far, without success:

    • hard reset
    • reinstalling the hard drive
    • automated tools in the Recovery Manager (this tool you access by pressing F11 at startup) *.
    • chkdsk and identical from the command prompt (to which I have access from the Recovery Manager tool) *.

    Note that even if the material for the HP PC Diagnostics tool failed hard drive test, apparently I can access my files on the hard drive of a Linux Live CD/USB (I managed to access it during a previous attempt, do not know if it can be reproduced).

    I can't test the drive on other PCs (which I have another laptop which I can plug the drive may be defective), not I can try to connect another hard drive non-offending for verification (as I did not).

    Any suggestion?

    They gave me no installation CD/DVD (I guess I had to use the recovery partition). In case I need a new installation, how can I retrieve my serial number?

    the hard drive is not accessible, I can't access Recovery Manager simply by pressing F11, I had to use a USB recovery media

    CHKDSK and even produce this error message: "cannot open volume for direct access.

    It looks like your hard drive is not/is a failure. Guarantee would provide a new replacement - and probably send recovery media free since did you not make it yours.

    You can make a Windows 10 usb or dvd using the free download of Ms. No license key is necessary since it has been activated at the same time on the machine.

    Hello

    In this case, you can try the following method.

    Download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1

    Use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    If you instead create a flashdrive bootable for this Image, try the free app below.

    http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

    The product key for Windows 8 is encrypted in your bios chip and read automatically during installation.

    Other software and drivers you need can be found here.

  • The HP imaging device not found... Error 8 [(1, 0,-2147024770)]

    -New installation of Windows 7 64 bit with all the updates of Windows installed.

    -I get the following error message after you install the full version of the software:

    The HP imaging device not found...  Error 8 [(1, 0,-2147024770)]

    -Two other computers on the network, they get the error and can scan

    Troubleshooting steps already taken:

    1. uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version full

    2 carried out allong uninstall_L3 and uninstall_L4 with a reboot and reinstall about 4 times.

    3 sanning via 'Paint' works very well.

    4. the 'Windows Image Acquisition' service is started.

    5 Windows firewall is turned off.

    6. print jobs.

    7 watch Jet Pro L7500 Office properly in the device under "Imaging devices" Manager

    Nice try, but this isn't an answer very nonsense similar to most of the HP answers I've seen on the forums.

    -J' already have the l3 uninstall and reboot, as already indicated in my original post.

    -L' computer already has the latest version of Flash - over this software has nothing to do with communicating with the scanner.

    -The software is already downloaded from HP.

    However, I have repaired and it is perhaps what made him.  I'm not positive:

    -J' ran 'bpd_scan_Carrier.msi' which is in the folder "setup\bpd_scan" by right-clicking and choosing "update".

    -J' also ran "BPDSoftware.msi" which is in the folder "setup\bpdsoftware" by right-clicking and choosing "update", but I don't think that it did.

    -J' have also installed the Photosmart program but I don't think that that had nothing do with it.  When you run HP diagnostics program, it is said that what needs to be installed for scannig work.

    Thanks HP for all the major recommendations, I read in aid groups...    It is sarcasim in case your wondering you.

  • I have a hp mini 311-1037nr who recently failed to start. data error is "boot device not found.

    My hp mini 311-1037nr does not start. Its running windows 7 and no changes have been made. Error message is "boot device not found. It will not run a hard drive test, gives "the hard disk does not exist '. Tried not to reset the default settings of the BIOS also no luck. any ideas?

    Drive appears you in the BIOS? If not, and if reinstalling it does not help that I assume safely that the hard disk is dead.

    You can also try to download/creation of the various Linux Live boot floppies [Unbuntu, PartedMagic, etc.] to confirm that your other components are not at fault. If you can start and run a live linux OS then your other components of the system may very well.

    You can also remove the drive of your machine and install it as a secondary drive in another computer or a disk to see if you can access it.

    You can also run a HDD diagnosis by accessing your site of hard drive manufacturers and download/creating a diagnostic boot disk.

  • Office jet 4500 G510-g, the imaging device not found

    I have an Officejet 4500 with a wired Ethernet connection. For some reason any, that my computer has ceased to be able to scan from it, I can still print and everything very well. I don't remember to make changes to the system and other computers on the network can always analyze without any problem. I restarted my computer, unplug the printer, uninstalled and reinstalled the software, active windows firewall settings and cannot find any reason why it won't work. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on the computer that does not work, the other computers on my network that still work are running windows 7 64 bit and XP. On the "HP Imaging device not found" error message that opens under more information, I get this: 8 [(1, 0,-2147221496)]

    I've lived the HPSDU and he said: there is a problem with the driver and he cannot communicate with the product. He said also it is impossible to scan with windows WIA, and finally it's the Twain component may be damaged. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, re-downloaded the Installer off the HP site several times, but can not solve this problem. Help, please.

    Hi crakerb,

    When you click on the plus sign on the error message is that all of the information it provides?

    Because you can not install the printer using the USB connection, it seems to have some problems with the operating system on this computer. Did you back up your data and perform a full system recovery?

  • HP Envy M4 1115dx: Qualcomm QCA Atheros Driver Installation error | Device not found wireless adapter

    I just replaced my old HD with a new SSHD Seagate. Everything is going well until I tried to connect to internet in wifi wireless mode with. I think it was a pilot error because I just do a blank Windows 8 install on my new SSHD (hybrid drive SSD). So I went to find the Driver for the WLAN Module.

    HP is automatically detected my laptop model number and gave me a list of drivers. I selected "Qualcomm Atheros QCA90000 series Wireless LAN Driver for Microsoft Windows" under the list of Driver Network in the menu dropdown.

    In the middle of the installation of this driver, I was arrested and met a titled error message, "802.11a/b/g/n Wireless adapter device not found". Just below this title was a big red circle with a white X sign. Besides, he said: "the device may not be present or could have been ejected unplugged from the system. Abortieng the installation, please insert the card and try again the Setup program. »

    Below is a screenshot of what I mean.

    Problem solved. I uninstalled all the drivers but the Ralink. Think I know what may have caused this.

    The recommended for WLAN driver was based on a misinterpretation on behalf of HP. HP auto detected my laptop as a 1150la instead of the 1115dx model.

    I'm not sure why HP thinks that my model is another, but it may have something to do with the SSHD and thermal fan replacement I did before this error WiFi.

  • laptop HP pavilion touch 14: replaced defective hard drive with pre installed OS on new HDD - device not found Boot (3F0)

    Hey guys,.

    I have a pc hp pavilion touch laptop 14, which has been having a defective hard disk that the operating system was not start and the system test indicated that the hard drive contained errors.

    I replaced the hard drive with a new one and before installing the hard drive I formatted with a win installation 8.1. I thought the laptop would just start normally to win8, but gave me a screen saying:

    boot device not found please install an operating system on drive hard drive (3f0)

    The hard drive is new and I did not not how its gives me this error!

    In addition, this laptop does not seem to boot from a cd to format!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hey BHK6,

    I found out what was wrong! It was so simple!

    I just need to make the boot inherited from the bios, like that he started directly from the hard drive and does not need of any software pre installed HP to start.

    Thanks for your help anyway

  • 15 - p030nr: Boot Device not found

    Need help on how to fix a problem where it says "boot device not found." He worked to find one day and the next time I turned on the computer, she appeared with this error message. After reading some things, it seems that it is a right of common mistake around the 1 year mark, but I don't know which is correct. Are there methods I could do to fix this problem.

    OK, if it was an old PC, my guess would be that the hard drive is a failure, but on a PC old of a few months, it is unlikely.

    However, it would be interesting to follow these instructions to check the hard drive:

    Presume withdraw OK, what might work is booting from CD or USB and running CHKDSK to see if this helps to repair the file system.

    CHKDSK is the short name of a utility that provides MS that will do a check of the file system and attempt to repair problems.  A damaged file system may prevent your computer to start correctly and get to a Windows desktop.

    Because you can not boot from your PC, then you need to download one of the following options and follow the instructions it contains to make a bootable USB stick or a CD:
    (1) miniTool Partition Wizard
    (2) EASEUS Partition Master
    (3) assistant Partition AOEMI

    Once the media, boot from it and use the option to check the disk.

    Good luck

    If it's windows 8.x

    I suggest you to rebuild the BCD (Boot Configuration data) from command line and check if that helps.

    1 insert the Windows 8.x installation/recovery media and start the computer using the disc.
    If you do not have an installation/restore media, I suggest you download windows enterprise trial edition 8.1:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-Windows-8-1-Enterprise
    You must burn the iso file downloaded to a bootable DVD or USB media

    Note: You will need to consult the computer manual on how to set the CD/DVD or USB drive as the first boot device in the BIOS.

    2. Once you start using the disk installation of Windows on the Windows 8.x installation window, click on repair your computer.

    3. click on troubleshooting and advanced options. First thing you can try is the auto repair. If it does not help, go to the system restore. If it works fine, and then create a system restore point so that the next time that you are having problems you can always restore the computer to the recent system restore point created.

    4. If this does not help, and then select command prompt. Enter the following commands to four in the command prompt.

    Bootrec /fixmbr
    Bootrec /fixboot
    Bootrec /scanos
    Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    Once the order is complete, restart the computer.

  • device not found Boot, hard disk does not exist... does that mean my computer is dead?

    Suspecting that Im in a world of pain here. I tried to turn on my computer and it says "boot device not found" - performed in test failed... when I hit F4 and test drive, he said "there is no hard drive. The test of memory passes, but under the boot device not found says blue "Please install an operating system on your hard drive"... and to make matters worse he makes funny sounds when he tries to start.

    Is there no hope at all that this computer working again? Is there a chance that everything I had on my hard drive can be recovered?

    You are the very welcome, Jonathan.

    dv5 is still not enough information to provide me with the service manual (in which case there is differerent for different dv5 models).

    But here is the link to the service manual I've pulled at random.

    http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01550108/c01550108.PDF

    Guess it's safe to say that all dv5 models come with the laptop SATA drives.

    So, if you want to spring for $15, you can get this place that apparently has very good reviews.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817182138

    From what you describe (noise and other things), I would say that you don't have much chance of recovering the data, but it's up to you if you want to try the speaker or not.

    Here's what I recommend:

    Pull the hard drive and turn on the laptop.

    If the weird noise you heard has disappeared, then you can pretty much assume that the disc was the cause and replacing the disk and reinstalling the operating system will solve the problem.

    If the noise is still there, while there could be another problem, and it might be risky to throw good money after bad.
