#HP #laptop won't turn on except for BIOS Update

I am having some issues with an HP 250 G8 laptop (4K803EA). The pc, when turned on, has the LED on but stays on a black screen. I opened the computer, and noticed that the fan spins for a few seconds after pressing the power button but then stops. I tried swapping ram with a working one taken from another laptop but nothing happens.

The only thing that seems working is the HP Bios Update utility, that I can open turning on the pc while pressing Windows + B keys, as described on HP website. It seems to complete flashing the bios with no errors, but then still no boot. I tried putting the bios files on a USB drive as well.

Any clue on how to solve this? Thanks.

I know nothing about #hdr, but thanks to #gnome48 I now have the ability to enable it for both my #workstation display (ASUS VP32UQ) and my #laptop (ThinkPad Z16 AMD).
I don't play games and use my computers for #music production, #graphic design, #video editing and so on.
So far I've noticed that with HDR turned on, everything looks a little more lifeless and brighter, maybe less contrasty. Is this the idea and does HDR make sense for my use case?

The MSI Summit 13 AI+ Evo is among the last of a dying breed of Windows device. The compact mid-range 2-in-1. It has a 13-inch display, a 360-degree hinge, and ships with a stylus. Devices like this are less popular today as 14-inch and 16-inch laptops are now the trend.

PCWorldI'm blown away by this MSI laptop's incredible 21-hour battery life!The MSI Summit 13 AI+ Evo doesn’t score high marks in performance benchmarks, but it does achieve superb battery life.

From my perspective, the #RyzenAI HX 390 MAX series has a very bad value proposition over $1,000.

- For #Gaming, you have RTX 4060M **LAPTOPS** at $800 with a decent CPU.
- For #AI, you can make a good PC for $1,500.
- For battery life, there is a thing called a MacBook.

That's probably why they're not being pushed to the market so hard. Pricing wise, it doesn't make sense.

Wow — render times on the built-in AMD GPU in my Tuxedo laptop matched my desktop's Nvidia 3070 within seconds. Didn’t even need to enable the 4070 in this machine. Might only need it for LLMs + DaVinci Studio. Full video coming to YouTube & TikTok soon after more testing. #Laptop #Linux

Schüler und Schülerinnen des St. Hildegardis-Gymnasium Duisburg besuchten diese Jahr wieder das Hope College in Gomoa Fetteh, Ghana.
Dabei wurden 14 Laptops an die Schule überreicht und die SchülerInnen geschult. Jeder Laptop verfügt über 300 freie Lern- und Office-Programme sowie eine riesige Offline-Bibliothek in Englisch. Vielen Dank.

I know better than to doom scroll on #Mastodon.

I'll disable the app on my #GrapheneOS phone and see how long I can go without using it. Sure, I could still doom scroll on my #Laptop or #Desktop running #Debian, but that's not the point.

Instead, I'm challenging myself to redirect my energy towards reading about Debian, Anarcho-syndicalism, and things that interest me.

Today was enough, and I'm taking control.

Let's see how this experiment goes.
