Failed Short DST

The battery on my HP Pavillion G Series (running Windows 7), went out so I ordered new one. I placed the battery in and and it opened to show a screen telling me to either choose "Launch Repair" or "Start Windows Normally". Either way, the screen freezes. So I powered it off and rebooted then pressed F2 and did the Start-Up Test. Following are the results:
Memory Test: PASSED
SMART Check: PASSED
Short DST: FAILED
Failure Code: U0C7UC-6GC785-MFPX1G-60V603
Product ID: A7A47UA#ABA
Hard Disk 1
Start-Up Test: FAILED

Pavilion dv7-4070us Fail short DST (Failure ID PKVV5g-5525T4-XD003G-60QN03)

Hi,
Last year I bought the HP Pavilion dv7-4070us laptop, running windows 7 64bit. Everything has been fine and dandy until recently. The past few days I have only been watching youtube videos and TV series, when one day I turn on my computer to find that it stays on the Windows 7 splash screen for an abnormal amount of time. This had happened to me once before, but for some weird reason, ( FYI: I am tech savvy, so this issue was a bit bizarre) it was fixed last time. However, unlike last time, the issue has not been resolved, loading time still takes like 5 min or more. Additionally when I ran the system diagnostics test, the hard drive failed the short DST with the failure id: PKVV5g-5525T4-XD003G-60QN03.
Additionally I ran the seagate (samsung has "teamed" up with seagate) hard drive diagnostic with the same result, short DST failure, but long generic and short generic and smart is verified and passed. So I was wondering if anyone had this similar issue, and how were you able to resolve the situation. Again, the only thing I have done recently is only go on the internet to view youtube and TV series/drama, the only possible changes could be windows update. Other than that I really have not tinkered around with the system.
Searching high and low, it looks like I may have to replace the hard drive. However I am hoping to not have to do this since the warranty had just expired a couple months ago. If anyone could please respond or help I would immensely appreciate it! Happy Holidays.
P.S.. Should you require more relevant information, just ask. Thanks again!

Hard drive failure message, and Short DST fail

Hello, and thanks
alright, this is the first time i have had this issue.
only thing on the computer that was changed recently was a windows update yesterday, it came up automatically, shut the computer down, and restarted automatically. Java has wanted to update for a couple days
if its worth anything, the error came up when i was watching instant streaming on netflix.
half a year old (maybe) Pavilion dm1
windows 7 64 bit
AMD E-350 precessor
product ID 00359-OEM-8992687-00010
gave me a warning message that hard disk drive failure was eminant, and adviced me to back up everything. computer seems to be functioning normal other than the error/warning message.
when i restarted the computer and ran the test that comes up i ended up with this, it says it may take over an hour, but this comes up after about a minute.
testing drive : 1
SMART Check: Passed
Short DST: Failed
Failure ID: 9LNF2M-5K55RT-MFH14J-60WA03
Product ID: XY961UA#ABA
Hard Disk 1
not sure where to go from here with it.
only other thing i have had happen with it is video driver crashes when i have a stale youtube video left in a tab. i assume that is unrelated, and i just trained myself to avoid that.
thanks! i appreciate the help.

Hello Frederic45.
You need to replace your hard drive. You should be able to purchase the parts on the notebook's HP Parts Surfer Page.
Had you previously created any Recovery Media such as a thumbdrive? Without this you'll be unable to reinstall the operating system when you replace your hard drive. You'll need to contact HP Support in order to get one of these kits. The number for US/Canadian customers is 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your region's contact information.
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Hi,
The 24 character error code for the short Disk Self Test ( DST ) would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced. This is also consistent with the 'freezing' issue you mention.
As your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

Hard Disk Short DST: FAILED Failure ID: MC05BK-6KP7H9-MFPWW1-60VN03

Hard Disk can't be read anymore.
Failure ID: MC05BK-6KP7H9-MFPWW1-60VN03
What does this ID exactly mean?
I know so far that the hard disk has to be replaced. But as usual there is unsaved data to be rescued ...
One year warranty by HP has expired but there still ist two years German "Gewährleistung"
Some more informations:
Error "3F1"
HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI 4.3.3.0
HP Hard Disk Test
Testing Drive: 1
Hard Disk SMART Check: PASSED
Hard Disk Short DST: FAILED
Hard Disk Test: FAILED
Failure ID: MC05BK-6KP7H9-MFPWW1-60VN03
Product ID: D6Y76EA#ABD (HP Pavilion g7-2306sg Notebook)
BIOS F.23 (12/27/2012)
HDD:
Modell: ST500LM012 HN-M500MBB
Firmware: 2AR10002
MS Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Whenever the Hard Disk Short DST test fails with a 24 Digit Error Code "MC05BK-6KP7H9-MFPWW1-60VN03" that indicates that the Hard Disk Drive has failed and that requires a replacement to resolve the issue
This issue could be due to Application or driver conflicts, virus issues, file corruptions due to incompatible applications, improper shutdowns, update failures due to conflicts, sudden power surges, if notebook is dropped etc..
HP will provide a replacement Hard Disk Drive if the Notebook warranty is Active, If not you need buy a SATA Hard Disk Drive from a retail shop nearby
Please make sure you are getting at least equal capacity as the original one in order to use Recovery Disks. If you need you can buy a larger, but not smaller capacity Hard Disk Drive. For example if you have a 500GB Hard Disk Drive you can upgrade it to 750GB Hard Disk Drive but not 320GB Hard Disk Drive
Please try the below shown troubleshooting steps once:
Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the AC/Power Adapter
Step 02. Press and hold the Power button for more than 30 Seconds
Step 03. Plug in the AC/Power Adapter (leave the Battery out for now)
Step 04. Press the Power button and check if the Unit works normal
If the above mentioned steps does not help, then you can try reseating the Hard Drive on your Notebook
If the issue persists again please Contact HP if your HP Notebook is under warranty, HP would replace the Hard Disk Drive and provide you a Recovery media to restore factory operating system after replacement (if you've not yet created Recovery Discs/USB Media)
Note: Back up all the personal data to an external drive if it's possible. Otherwise you could connect the failed HDD via SATA to USB adapter with another PC or same PC after replacement of HDD & re-installation of OS and try copying /recovering the files.

Hard disk Short DST: Failed, HP Pavilion g6-2213so

We own a notebook HP Pavillion g6-2213so, windows 8 and is about 5-6 months old still on waranty.
Yesterday the screen just went blank, but i thought it wasprobably hibernating or something.
Now when i try to boot it, the message it gives is wait automatic system recovery.
But since it did this for to long i tried a system check using the start up test and this is what it showed me;
Processor check : passed
Memeory test: passed
Hard disk smart checkassed
Hard disk short DST check:failed
Failure ID: GSJ88F-6GW6N0-MFPX1F-60XH03
Product ID:C4M01EA#UUW
Just to note, i mid may this laptop developed a hard disk problem and we have just recently recieved a new hard disk from The HP support team on our waranty, so this hard disk is barely a month old and this is happening, ineed your help HP.
Thanks

Try everything on this list first.
If no success, then Contact HP.
The hard disk is an item that can be replaced by the owner. The hard disk is covered under warranty and will be sent at no cost to you.
Locate your recovery disk set or usb recovery media so you will have it ready to use when the new hard disk arrives. You will need it to perform a factory image recovery that will return your notebook to the state it was in when delivered.
If you did not create recovery media you will have to purchase a set from HP or an HP partner.

HP Pavilion g6-2230ew Start-Up Test and Hard Disk Short DST: Failed

Hello community,
As you can see, my notebook model is HP Pavilion g6-2230ew.
I bought it one year ago, and it keeps freezing and hangs for about few months.
I've searched what i could do and I did a Start-Up Test to check if its the hard disk problem.
The result was that everything passed, but hard disk short DST failed.
I saw replies for similiar problem with other HP notebooks and solution was a new hard disk.
My warranty is still actual, but I want to ask if there is any other solution than exchanging my hard disk, and if that's what I should do - how long I would have to wait for such service.
Looking for reply.

Well the hard drive has to be replaced and it sounds like it is overdue. The ordinary means to do that under warranty is to send the laptop to a Service Center. We have heard that, sometimes, when the moon is full and the Call Center rep is in a good mood, they will send you a hard drive, charge your credit card 2 or 3 times what it is worth at retail and refund when you return the defective drive. But that is purely a matter of grace and they do not have to do that. Turn around time varies all over the map from 3 working days to a couple weeks or more and there is no way to predict. A hard drive replacement should fall at the low end of that range since they should always have hard drives for replacement and it is a very easy fix.
On hard drive replacement under warranty, given that a new hard drive is well less than $100, I might be tempted not to lose 4 or 5 days' use of my laptop and come out of pocket myself but that's me and your cost/benefit analysis could be different and likely is.
They will return it to you restored to factory specs and will make no effort to preserve any of your data. When I do send them in for repair I always try to image the drive, if it is not too dead.

Pavilion dv6z-7000 hard disk short DST failed

I bought this HP Pavilion dv6z-7000 notebook (windows 7 64-bit) in the middle of September as a gift for my cousin who's in China. After I received my computer I found it was always not responding (e.g. When I clicked "my computer", it freezed and showed "not responding" for ~10min). As I was going back to China and there's no time to mail it back to HP for reparing, I reinstalled the system (windows 7 64bit) by myself and it looks fine for a couple of days. But when I came to China and was going to give it to my cousin, it showed the same problem again. Yesterday it got even worse -- it was unable to shut down or start windows.
When I did HP F1 start up tests this morning, each test (Start-up, Run-in, Tuneup, Hard Disk) failed at Hard Disk Short DST:
Failure ID: M4GG6W-67V68K-QFPK1F-60QG03,
Product ID: A3G60AV
I'm wondering whether HP has some service center in China that can repair it for free? Or do I need to bring it back to the US?

Hi
Incase you have a Global warranty you can get it fixed in China or else you can call HP Technical support and inform the same but the Part will be delivered only to US. The best for you will be to call HP Technical support and check the warranty and then decide.
Let us know how it goes!

I get a "Short DST" failed error when running test. Laptop will not boot up. Any ideas?

I get a Short DST failed error when I ran a test. The laptop won't bootup. All I get is a black screen

Hi,
Certainly, the error code will be a Smart or Disk Self Test failure - in either case, it would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced. This is also consistent with the start-up issue.
One possible way to try and retrieve your files from a non-booting drive is to follow the process detailed in the link below. The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ) and I've often found it to be successful in retrieving data even from a failing Hard Drive. When you've created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can back up your existing files.

...and then I got...
The following part(s) you entered were not found or not orderable:

Does any 2.5" SATA drive work in this laptop or are there particular models or brands I need to avoid. HP parts don't
seem to be an option.

Hi,
You are not restricted in any way to a particular HDD manufacturer, so for example, the drive on the link below is an of one that would be fine for your notebook.
500Gb Hard Drive
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 47 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive.
If you don't have your Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

Short DST: Failed

Hello,
I have a HP laptop with windows 7 (64-bit):
Model: HP G62 Notebook PC
System ID: 1444
Product ID: XA505UA#ABC
Procceser Type: AMD Athlon(tm) II P320 Dual-Core Procceser
Memory Size: 3072 MB RAM
So here is my story:
A month ago I turned on my laptop and in the middle of my work the screen will go white and make an eerie sound constantly until I turned it off. A month later I turned my computer on and it went to a black screen and said: Error with Hard Disk. I shut my computer off, hopping it was just a glitch and the next day I turned it on it shut off without warning at the HP symbol when starting it up. Now I have to continusly turn it on like at least 20 times for me to get to the disk error reading so i quikly press F2 and did some tests.
I did a HARD DISK TEST and it is saying :
Testing Drive: 1
SMART Check: PASSED
Short DST: FAILED
FAILURE ID: MC44RW-OO07JT-XD003G-60U203
PRODUCT ID: XA505UA#ABC
I went to BIOS management and did a BIOS Rollback to F.00 hopping it would fix it but it did not do anything. I did battery test and it said: Primary - Replace (40) Secondary - NOT INSTALLED (60) and displayed same faliure id and product id
Can you plz help me without buying a new HARD DISK

Hi,
Sadly to say: most of the time the 24 char failure id indicates the HDD is failing and need to be replaced. Is it still under warranry ? If Yes, please call HP for a replacement.

Hp dv3 "short DST: failed"

Hi.
I have a pavillion dv3-4050ea laptop which has recently died.
I have tried to use the system restore function, but that fails mid way through.
Another posting on here led me to press f2 on startup and run the startup test which concludes with a short DST failed message.
Does this mean that the HDD is dead?
Can i replace it with any HDD? or does it have to be a HP HDD?
In the meantime I have ordered the restore disks from HP, which I'm currently trying to install, but i'm keen to know what the significance of the short DST failed message is.
Thank you in advance for your time.
This question was solved.

H,
The full message may be a set of letters. Anyway:
1. Most likely the HDD is dead (over 90%),
2. You can buy HDD from other vendor(s), HP also use HDD's from other vendors such as WD, Hitachi, Seagate ... for many laptops and desktops.
Good luck.

Hard drive short dst check failed

First of ask On starting the system, it was taking much longer time than usual.. Then after logging in it showed only a blank black screen with white mouse pointer.. had to force shut down (shut down also took longer time).. on starting went to safe mode and ran extensive system check.. HARD DRIVE SMART CHECK PASSED but HARD DRIVE SHORT DST CHECK FAILED...I have the recovery discs and the notebook is under warranty.. Please suggest the best possible solution..

Well if it is under warranty I would call HP in your country and tell them the failure code. I cannot promise anything as I do not work for HP but as I understand it they will send you a replacement hard drive. They may charge your credit card and then refund when you send the old one back to them. Just run the recovery disks on the new one. If you can still boot to Windows do a Windows Backup to thumb or other external drive so you can save your documents, music, etc before you replace the drive and then just restore the files to the new drive.
