Hi! I have a friends HP av 003la 14 inch notebook, and she told me it suddenly stopped working. When I first booted up, I was the usual black screen where it says there is no booteable device. I plugged the hard drive on my main pc, retrieved her files, fully formatted the disk, fixed the partitions, and plugged it back in. (My main pc after I plugged the hard drive started acting funny, would not get past initial boot up when I plugged my secondary hard drive)
So I downloaded the media install in my main PC and created the USB.
When I wanted to boot up from it in the laptop, it wouldnt go past the HP logo and the rotating circle. I did some research, and I needed to disable the TPM.
Then, it would work fine, installation went through normal, but when it restarts, it goes through the usual loading screen, and when it says getting devices ready, it shuts off, then it starts the process again, but wont go past the rotating circle. I saw some other posts that they said that they had to remove their wifi card for some reason, and when I did it it went to 33% and the same thing happened. Then, I unplugged keyboard, mouse, card reader, and it went to 66%, same thing happened.
I dont have anything left to unplug except the screen, but I am pretty exhausted because installing Windows should be such an easy task
Thank for the help!
