HP Mini 110-3131DX. Hard drive replacement; do I need a new one and where would I get it?

I dropped my HP Mini 110-3131DX directly on it's spine and ever since it only turns on to show the startup screen and these error messages:
HARD DISK ERROR
Please run the hard disk test in system diagnostics.
Hard Disk 1 (3F1)
F2  System Diagnostics
Then, it takes a LONGGGG time to even get me to the right screen to do the test ( I have to restart the computer to be able to renavigate to the screen) and it says Hard Disk test failed. What do I do now? Do I have to put in a new hard drive? Where do I buy my specific new hard drive? I really need some help.
This question was solved.

Do you know where I could buy one? I've looked online but I can't find one specifically for my model.

  • My hard drive blew so I needed a new one, and I lost all my itunes music. I went back and restored the music I had purchased, but it only lets me listen to 30 seconds or less of a song? Any suggestions??

    How do I get the music back I paid for...not just 30 seconds?

    HP uses different brands to fit the need for the SATA hard disk, so there is no specific brand that I can state. Why don't you use the hard disk test that is present in the BIOS?

  • So I had photshop cs5 installed on my pc...i had to get my hard drive replaced! I have the serial number and everything, but I need to know how to download it. I really don't wanna have to pay for the program over again.

    So I had photshop cs5 installed on my pc...i had to get my hard drive replaced! I have the serial number and everything, but I need to know how to download it. I really don't wanna have to pay for the program over again.

    If you registered your product, you should be able to find the download and serial number from your Adobe account.
    https://www.adobe.com/account.html
    Otherwise:
    Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant or Manager) | ProDesignTools
    You might still have to contact Customer Support to reset your Activations, unless you managed to deactivate the original installation.

  • My hard drive died, so I need a new serial number to reinstall Lightroom.

    Hello,
    My hard drive died, so I need a new serial number to reinstall Lightroom. How do I go about having another serial number emailed to me?
    Thanks!

    if you have your serial number then all you need to do is download the Lightroom installer and install the program. Use your existing serial number. If you don't have your serial number, but registered Lightroom with Adobe then you can login to your Adobe account and get the serial number.

  • HT1420 How can I deauthorize a non-existant system. My hard drive died so I bought a new one, reinstalled the OS and iTunes but iTunes seems to think this is a new computer.

    How can I deauthorize a non-existant system. My hard drive died so I bought a new one, reinstalled the OS and iTunes but iTunes seems to think this is a new computer.

    Try deauthorizing the computer even if you haven't authorized it. If you've already authorized it, deauthorize it twice and then authorize it again.

  • Macbook pro Hard drive replacement issue, won't read new drive.

    I have a Macbook pro Core 2 Duo. The 2nd generation Macbook pro. I am trying to install a 640GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue hard drive. I have formatted the new drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with the GUID table though an external USB enclosure. I have installed OSX from the CD's onto this new drive and can boot from it externally. When I install it internally and try to boot I get a gray screen with a stop sign (circle with a line through it). If I boot from the install CD and use disk utility the compter sees the drive as 4.6TB and can't format it.
    Why would this drive work in an external enclosure but not internally?
    I can boot from the drive so it should be good.
    My original HDD works in the computer so the connections should all be good.
    I am confused. Any help that can be offered would be appreciated.

    Is the 640GB WD approved as an internal drive for your MBP? If it is, then the clean, formatted drive with no OSX should be installed in the MBP. Then start up (holding the "Option" key) from the OSX installation disc and install OSX. After a successful installation, the MBP will restart. Then run Software Update to get the latest version of OSX.

  • My iphone 4 doesn´t connect thorugh Wi-Fi, apple replaced my phone for a new one and it has the same problem. I have an ipod and it doesn´t have this problem. Does any one know what to do?? Thanks

    My iphone 4 doesn´t connect through Wi-Fi, Apple replaced my phone for a new one, but the new one  has the same problem. I have an ipod third generation and it doesn´t have this problem. Having compared both working at the same time, the iphone alsways lags behind or doesn´t even connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. Does any one know what to do?? Thanks

    Have you ever checked to see if there is an update for your router? If yes, then power off router. Then on iPhone go into settings and do a reset network settings. Power router back on, and try connecting phone to router.

  • Hard drive replacement:  what is needed to reload all Adobe applications on new drive

    Question:  in the olden days, we needed to deactive applications before re-loading on a new device ... what do we need to do now with the subscription plans and/or the non-subscription apps such as DW?
    Windows 7x64
    replacing primary hard drive
    Installed Adobe applications:
    Dreamweaver CS5
    Photoshop CC
    Photoshop CC 2014
    Bridge CCx64
    Lighroom 5.5
    Adobe Creative Cloud
    Adobe DNG Converter

    You'll have to install from scratch, from the original media.
    In the case of different versions of one and the same application, be very sure to install the older versions first.  Otherwise the installer for the older version will not work if it finds a newer version installed,
    If the drive is going into the same machine, you "shouldn't" have to deactivate, but with the hapless installer team one never knows.
    If necessary, you can always deactivate after the fact.
    If you have Photoshop CC2014, you have no need and no use for the DNG Converter.

  • Can I use my old MAC MINI as a hard drive, or do I need to transfer all the data to a new Mini?

    I would like to get the new MAC MINI, but I was wondering whether I could somehow just keep my old mac mini as a storage drive and continue to use its DVD drive since the new mini doesn't have one.  Has anyone out there done this?  If not, what is the best way to transfer data from one mini to another?

  • My old PC died but hard drive is still functional. Purchased new PC and downloaded latest iTunes but attempts to transfer folder with songs from old hard disk to new computer failed. Only 20 of approx 300 songs transferred ??

    My old PC died but the hard drive is still functional and accessible using a USB extraction device. I purchased a new PC and downloaded the latest iTunes but attempts to transfer the iTunes folder with songs from the old hard drive to my new computer failed. Only 20 of approx 300 songs transferred. All other non music file transfers (WORD, EXCEL, etc) from the old hard drive to the new computer were successful. Is this a file type issue? Any thoughts??  THANKS!

  • HT3974 Hard drive under warranty - Apple need old HD back

    We have just had a company laptop repaired under warranty due to a faulty harddrive amongst other issues.
    I was told the hard drive has been replaced, however Apple need the old HD back. Unless of course you pay for the new hard drive.
    Due to our companys policies and ISO's we need documentation of the disposal of this hard drive and to ensure it complies with the data protection act.
    My questions been, do Apple have any documentation which I can be sent to support us that the hard drive has been correctly disposed and all data removed.
    Alternatively is there anywhere to get this hard drive back, without paying for a new one.
    Thanks for you time,

    Depending where you live in the world, there might be local laws that help you.
    My understanding is that normall procedure is that the faulty component goes back to Apple, who have their own internal channels for disposal. Are you dealing with Apple directly or a service provider? In the case of a service provider, they will need (99% of the time) to return the faulty drive to Apple in order to get paid for their work.
    The drive will pass through quite a few hands. If you have concerns about unauthorised access to the data, then I would just pay the money and get the drive back. In fact, if there are real concerns or requirements, it's probably best that the drive never leaves your custody.
    Your best bet is to talk directly to Apple. If you say the right things to the right person, you will likely get a satisfactory outcome.

  • Just bought a 5s to replace the 4s. My daughter in Bali Indonesia needs a new phone. How can I get the 4s unlocked so I can send it to her for her use over there ?

    Just bought a 5s to replace the 4s. My daughter lives in Bali, Indonesia. Needs a new phone and I would like to send it to her, rather than any other option. I was told it had to be unlocked to use internationally. What do I do, to make this possible. ?

    Contact the wireless provider to which the iPhone is locked to ask
    if they provide unlocking and if you qualify. Apple does not unlock
    iPhones; only wireless carriers can unlock iPhones locked to their
    respective networks.
