Just a quick update, it did not go as planned, Logging in and turning off S Mode in Windows 11 home then a full wipe and reload still brought back S Mode. I had to wipe and reload with Windows 10 Home, Turn off S Mode in 10 home, reload 10 home and then do the upgrade to Windows 11 Home. Once...

you could try something like these. Click Here.

Being an i3 it probably only has one vid card. Plug into an external monitor and see if it does it on the external monitor as well. If it is replicated on the external, then it more than likely an issue with the on-board video card. If it does not replicate on the external monitor, then it's...

That charging port needs replaced.

After searching for a good long while, I still find that MusicMatch Jukebox works best for me... even on Windows 10. MMJB was discontinued ages ago, but I still have my Version 6.1 installer and lifetime upgrade reg key...lol I find that even though the interface has a bit of an antiquated look...

I really only see the key available for India for around $1500 INR online but it doesn't really look legitimate. It's possible that who you originally got it from is pirated and therefor if they want $1500 INR for a Pro license and it too may be a pirated copy which would not help you with your...

how did they " try" to update the BIOS without being able to see a display? What is the make and model of the Display being used? how are you connecting the monitor? DVI? Display port or HDMI?

I ran a 1050 Ti on Windows 10 Pro for several years without any issues... updates did not make the Vid card un-useable. You need to get a legit version of Windows 10 ... 10 pro worked great for me without any issues on the 1050 Ti. As stated before, it's either pirated software or a computer PC...

Check to make sure that the HDD is the first boot device in BIOS.

Did you wear a static strap when you disassembled and reassembled the laptop?

Windows still provides a way to download the ISO so you can burn to a disk or load to a bootable USB drive to reinstall the OS and the HP website would provide the drivers needed. If the system originally came with recovery media, you can try to contact HP directly, but from my experience in the...

E6410 is a fairly old laptop. What specs is it running?

If it were me, I would remove the HDD, transfer any needed files to a working computer, re-install HDD, Wipe and reload, use linux to back up files if you don't want to remove the HDD. I personally don't keep anything on my laptop that can't be lost if I have to do a wipe and reload, everything...

As someone who used to own a refurbished computer store ( we were open for 18 years, just sold the place June 1st this year) I must say, I have not bought any new tech in ages. I've always managed to find a way to keep the good old stuff going with upgrades that are easy to do. For me, as long...

Thanks!
