Pavilion g6-2218nr short hard drive DST test Failed

I have a HP Pavilion laptop g6-2218nr that will not start.  When you run the marketing diagnostic test and the hard drive diagnostic test, both tests showed the hard drive DST short FAILED.

The failure code is:

GUQDU4-6B872D-MFPX1F - 60Q 103

Product ID:

C2N56UA #ABA

The laptop is unfortunately no longer under warranty.  Should the hard drive be replaced?  Can you recommend a replacement?  Are there instructions available?

Thank you!

Hello

The error code indicates that the hard drive is faulty and will need to be replaced - a brief guide to do it yourself is detailed below.

Your laptop is considered as coming with a 320 GB hard drive, but you can install just as easily a 500 GB or 750 GB HARD drive if you want a little more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

Hard drive 500 GB

750 GB hard drive.

The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 52 of your & Maintenance Guide.

Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - this is described in the document of HP here.

If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

Order HP recovery disks.

If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

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

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Short hard drive DST check failure... once again.

    A question that I had resolved a few months ago started occurring again, in which the laptop is struggling to load things when started and soon after falls down and has to be restarted. I guess that means that the hard drive has failed once again and so I have no doubt about how to solve this problem, but I write this query to ask: why? Why has a laptop, I had since not even a year at this stage has already had the same problem occur twice, even with the replacement of the piece that broke the first time? I am willing to assume that this is something to do with excessive I will admit that it is enabled for a good part of almost every day, often for several hours I play the games on Steam on it. Currently, I do not plan to have the hard drive replaced again because it is clearly an issue that will keep occurring that the way things are and if I can get a PC that won't break every time a gust of wind so it hits. Any information on why this happens and how it could potentially be avoided in the future is appreciated, especially if it offers a solution that doesn't involve payment of an exorbitant amount of money.

    The worst enemy of hard drives is heat. If you play on a computer that is pushed to the limits of the game, a lot of it can wear on a hard drive for a few months. You get a lot of activity of fan during the game? A cooling pad may be an option, or on a computer box of Grandpa instead of a laptop for the games.

    Hi @MikerP!

    I'm sorry to say this, but the 24-character error codes indicates a drive failure, which means that the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    You always have access to the data stored on the disk? If you do, then save as much information as possible and look for a replacement drive. If the product is still under warranty, you can contact support, but in case you have no guarantee and you would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself – please let me know.

    I hope this helps and good luck!

    @Alin742

    Go to this site and create a bootable CD.

    http://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/

    Boot from the CD.

    If she asks do you want SCSI, click No or just press ENTER. (countdown to 30 seconds)

    The port selection select your HARD drive. (Usually 1, 3 or 6).

    If you do not see your HARD drive, you will need to restart and go into the BIOS and SATA ATA value.

    After choosing your type of HARD drive, ERASE and press to enter. (This will erase all data).

    Leave it to erase the entire disc. (Depending on the size, it may take 2 to 5 hours.)

    Once done erase all disk F4 2 hit shots and will start the test.

    Many people simply replace the HARD drive and all that is wrong is there is simply soft errors. (Errors caused by software not hardware errors.)

    If you need help running the program let me know.

    Hello David.

    Of course you can upgrade the HARD drive to a larger drive, but it is not easy to do on this model.

    The keyboard must be removed to access the screws underneath. Screws at the bottom should be deleted, then you can remove the top cover. An audio plate must also be removed before you can remove the HARD drive.

    Here's the manual from HP explaining the procedure more in detail. You want to read it carefully.

    Thank you
    ALF

    Yes, the hard drive must be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If it is not in warranty, you can buy a SATA notebook hard drive retail. Don't forget to get one with a capacity at least as large as the original 750Go hdd to use HP recovery discs to reinstall your operating system and software. It may be more grand, but of no small ability.

    Can help me how to solve this problem?

    It seems that the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If this is not the case, a laptop SATA hard detail can be used. Just be sure to get a quality at least equal the original in order to use recovery disks. It may be big, but not small ability more. For example if you have a 500 GB hard drive you can use a 750 GB hard drive, but not a 320 GB hard drive.

    The reason is that some among thousands of hard drives fail. It is a fact of manufacturing. Did you just to get a bad. I hope that you used to backup important documents of external storage.

    You can try reinstalling the hard disk. If that doesn't have a positive result, then it is time to replace the hard drive with a new one and using your recovery media to recover your laptop back to the State in which he found himself out of the box.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, you can contact HP and was sent for warranty replacement request to have a replacement hard drive.
