A laptop can be treated like a tablet, you can use your phone as a mouse to help guide your laptop, same thing with the keyboard.
The first thing to do is make sure your computer is plugged in. This means that you have physically turned on the computer and it is taking power from the wall supply and sending it to the computer.
If you are doing automatic repair, this means that you have to tell yourself that the computer is still on so the fixer can download and install a new program or update.

Press and hold the power button for several seconds it
When the HP laptop has a problem, it will indicate this by turning on and off briefly. This is normal behavior as the computer attempts to repair the problem.
After a short period of time, the computer will indicate that it has failed and needs you to press the power button to turn off the computer. This is a safety feature as if the power button is pressed for some reason, the computer can turn off automatically.
To prepare your laptop for automatic repair, hold down the power button for at least fifteen seconds before attempting to fix a problem. If you need to turn off your laptop manually, release the power button and wait until morning or night to try again!
This process may take several tries due to your laptop being difficult or impossible to repair in this method.
Check if the power cord is properly connected it
When you turn on your laptop, make sure that the power cord is connected to the computer properly. If not, try turning on the computer with just the battery inserted instead.
If that does not work, then it is time to check the power cord. Most people have a kind of heavy duty power cord that can be connected without a difficulty. Check if the cord is thick and well-made to prevent electrical interference or troubleshooting issues.
If there is no issue with this step, then the last step to check is whether or not your laptop has been cooling off. When this happens, your laptop will automatically repair itself due to low battery life or exposure to high temperatures.
If this has not happened, then it is time to prepare your computer for automatic repair.
Try using a different power cord it
If you use a high end power cord it might be limiting your laptop’s ability to repair itself. The stronger the cord the more powerful the repairs may be.
Some power cords have a limited amount of repair settings that the computer has. If your power cord has this then make sure to upgrade to a newer one to get these settings!
Another tip is to try using a slower constant speed AC adapter. Try using a 2200 mA max, or an 850 mA max, they might be better for your personal needs.
If you need faster repairs try doing them on your computer instead of with the laptop as it is connected it could risk damaging it in the process.
Update your laptop’s drivers it
If your laptop has a hard drive or a drive that’s attached to it, then you should update the drivers for that drive or hard drive.
If your laptop does not have a drive or an attached hard disk, then you should update the operating system. There are plenty of updates available for both.
Some devices require special drivers while others do not. If you find out your device does not work and HP does not support it, then you will have to pay money to have it repaired!
Having the correct drivers will also fix your woes if there is an issue with the touchpad or keyboard.
Run the hardware test it
After a hard drive failure or motherboard failure, you can run the hardware test it. This test will tell your computer what kind of hardware it is and if it needs to be fixed or not.
By running this test, your computer will determine if it needs to be repaired or not. If it does need to be repaired, then you will have to purchase the correct software for that.
If the hardware is fine, then there is no reason to buy the software because it will tell you that it is! By getting this software, you will know that your computer knows what kind of hardware it is and when the right software exists, so you do not have to hunt for it.
Reinstall Windows using factory reset it
Once you have your computer running, the next step is to prepare it for automatic repair. This can be done by installing Windows on an external hard drive or USB drive, and then rebooting and proceeding as above.
Many computer repair shops will now offer this service as a standard procedure. If you take your computer in for regular maintenance, they will often fix any problems when they reach out with a virus scan and a new set of operating systems.
However, if you need help with something more complicated like virus removal or storage corruption, then going this route allows the computer shop to use their software and hardware without having to have your exact machine in front of them. It also helps to build trust as they can send you things that need fixing but may require re-installation by you.
Run the Windows diagnostic tool it
The windows diagnostic tool can help you run a routine repair on your laptop. It will ask you if you want to run this during or after a computer emergency.
If your laptop has a power button, then pressing and holding the power button for five seconds will run the windows diagnostic tool. If your laptop has a boot button, then pushing and holding the boot button for five seconds will run the windows diagnostic tool.
The diagnostic tool can help you fix problems with your hard drive, CPU, RAM, and other parts of your computer. If it finds issues, it may suggest changes to correct the problem. Sometimes these issues are very expensive to fix so running the window diagnostic tool before any changes is recommended.
However, if no changes are needed then doing the window diagnostic first may not be necessary.
Contact support for help
If you are using your laptop on a battery power only basis, then you should consider carrying a few power sources. The most common way to do this is by carrying a heavy-duty battery clip.
This clip can be plugged into the computer, or it can be paired with another battery source such as a fully charged cell phone or tablet. The second option is to purchase a portable recharger such as the one pictured below.
If you decide to use the portable recharger, make sure it can handle the charging requirements of your laptop! If you need to travel with your computer, make sure you have enough power to keep it operating for an extensive period of time.
These tips can help save your computer from having major issues, and may even keep your computer functioning for an entire day until help arrives.
