1478122 2021-06-20 09:38:00 My Grandchildren have HP11 G7 Chromebooks, and I have an HP 14" Stream with Windows 10.
Both the Chromebooks stopped working, shortly after the keyboard printed garbage. I removed the keyboard on one & cleaned the connector ribbons, reassembled. Now it would't boot, dead. Charged the battery, still dead. Got frustrated, & smacked it on the bottom. It has worked ever since. I smacked the second one, did not remove keyboard, & that has worked for 3 months, so far. Recently I bought the HP Stream on Trade Me, cheap, with the same symptoms. Smacked its bottom and it works!
What is going on?

1478124 2021-06-20 20:53:00 Well you're not allowed to smack kids on the backside any more if they misbehave, so why not allow a Computer when it plays up -- It wont go crying and cant complain, and proves a bit of discipline can have a positive effect :D wainuitech (129)
1478125 2021-06-21 04:18:00 mzee, might try that with this HP lappy.

BSOD on boot-up and Windoz says it will fix it and re-boot. Yeahh right.

Won't be putting 11 on this machine!!.

Worked wonders when on 8.1.

Will write to Greta and see if she will let us buy a new one along with and electric car.
