The HP EliteBook 840 G5 is a powerful business laptop, but like any electronic device, it can encounter problems over time. Here are some common issues you might face and potential solutions:

1. Power Issues

• No Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and the power outlet. Check for any physical damage to the power cord or adapter. If the issue persists, it might be a faulty power supply or motherboard.
• Battery Issues: If the battery isn't charging or holding a charge, try calibrating it by fully discharging and then charging it completely. If that doesn't work, the battery might need replacement.

2. Screen Problems

• Blank Screen: Check for loose connections or physical damage to the screen cable. If the screen is cracked or damaged, it will likely need replacement.
• Pixelated Display: This could be due to a faulty display driver or a hardware issue. Try updating the display driver or consulting a professional for hardware inspection.

3. Keyboard and Touchpad Issues

• Non-functioning Keys: If specific keys aren't working, check for any debris or liquid spills that might be interfering with the keyboard. If the issue persists, it might be a hardware problem.
• Touchpad Sensitivity: Adjust the touchpad sensitivity settings in the BIOS or through the operating system. If that doesn't resolve the issue, it could be a hardware problem.

4. Operating System Issues

• Slow Performance: Try running a virus scan, clearing temporary files, and updating the operating system. If the issue persists, it might be a hardware problem or a software conflict.
• Software Crashes: Update your software applications and drivers to the latest versions. If crashes continue, consider reinstalling the operating system.

5. Overheating

• Excessive Heat: Ensure the laptop is not blocked by objects that can prevent airflow. Clean the vents and fans to remove dust and debris. If overheating persists, it might be a hardware issue like a faulty fan or thermal paste.
