  • Notebook caught in infinite loop, then gives a Hard Drive Short DST check error in Bios

    My laptop shut off unexpectedly last week. It got caught in an infinite loop when trying to restart. I was able to access bios and run a system check. I received Failure ID Q0821A-7017lt-xd7wwk-60xx03. I cannot get the computer to start. Please advise.

    1. This is a hardware issue and the Hard Drive is faulty
    2. You cannot recover this failure ID unless you replace the Hard drive
    Detailed Explanation:
    Whenever you get a message stating that the Short DST Check error with 24 Digit Failure ID "Q0821A-7017LT-XD7WWK-60XX03" that indicates that the Hard Disk Drive requires a replacement to resolve the 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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, 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!

  • Several questions regarding an upgrade or replacemen​t hard drive. Short dst failure error.

    HP Pavilion DV6z-2100
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Short-DST failure error
    1) I'm wondering if I can upgrade my hard drive to a 1TB and/or a 10,000rpm instead of the 500GB 7200rpm.  Would there be any problems for either upgrade? What effect will the rpm's have (5400/7200/10000) and how do I decide which is best for me? Can I change from HDD to SDD?  Can I change brands?  What size (in inches or cm) must the new hard drive be?  (See hard drive info below.)
    2) I believe I can access (and open) all my files on the failing 500GB HDD.  I want to install a second OS (Ubuntu) on my new hard drive, and I think the best way to do it would be to put Ubuntu on another partition. How would I go about copying my files to the new hard drive without losing any data and keeping my Win7 license?  How would/should I partition the new hard drive?  I can boot Ubuntu via a flash drive--can I make a Win7 recovery disk if Win7 won't boot?
    3) How urgent is getting my files off the short-dst error hard drive?
    Hard drive product number:
    575476-001
    Here's what's listed for hard drives on page 53 of the service and maintenance guide (PDF file):

    (Apparently PDF file links  can't be shortened by bit.ly.)

    The following statement is copied from the  Maintenence & Service guide for the HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment notebook. for your notebook.
    "Supports all Serial ATA (SATA) 9.5-mm, 6.35-cm (2.50-inch) hard drives". 
    Any first generation SATA 9.5-mm, 6.35-cm (2.50-inch) hard drive should work without issue. I do recommend that you use the Tune-Up utility in the HP Support Assistant to update your BIOS.

  • H D Short DST Check

    My husband purchased a HP model # 15-g019wm  (Windows 8.1) for me in March of this year. One day it froze on me and when I rebooted the notebook- I got the following message: " Your PC could not start properly-A requied device isn't connected or can't be accessed."  Error code:0Xc0000185. Then it gave me a choice to try again or hit F8 for start up settings or Esc for UEFI Firmware settings.
    I was able to get into the System Diag. and the H D Smart check passed. But what it failed on was the H D Short DST Check
    I got a failure ID:9G9k71-72Q77G-XD7V61-60SL03.
    I have not made any changes to the notebook since I got it.
    If someone could please help me. I would like to get this fixed.
    I've tried getting thru to HP, but most of the time I am on hold for at least a half hour, before I give up.
    Thank You
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    You're welcome
    I don't work for HP, but I would have thought that any HP Service centre should be able to replace the HDD ( sometimes the replacement drive is shipped directly to you along with instructions on fitting ), however the representative you contact should be able to sort this out for you - post back if you run into any problems regarding this.

  • CQ62-220US Laptop PC with Short DST Failed and hard drive replacement availability...

    I posted this on the lockup/freeze forum and got absolutely no response so I am hoping I might get a little advice on this forum.
    Got the following error...
    FailureID  M4W4GF-55G5S1-XD003G-60T003
    ProductID  WQ850UA#ABA
    Short DST Failed
    ...and cant get it to boot up any more. From other similar posts I have read they all seem to indicate I
    need a new hard drive but when looking at the HP replacement part numbers for this I got...
    Part 599055-001 is no longer supplied. Please order the replacement, 603783-001
    ...and then I got...
    The following part(s) you entered were not found or not orderable:
    603783-001 (Part 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.

  • 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. 

  • HP Pavilion - Short DST Error

    Recently my laptop has failed to boot up after the BIOS screen after i had ran the windows hard drive defrag. This was the last operation ran on the system before the fail.
    After using the system diagnostic tets available i was able to get the error saying it had a Short DST failure.
    The error code i got was: q4n6wc-5ls7a1-xd015g-60x303. After searching for this error however i have not been able to find any results.
    my hard drive product id: LX272EA#ABU
    Any advice on what this error means and how to recover my data from the hard drive if needed?

    Hi Ben,
    The 24 character error code for the Disk Self Test ( DST ) would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced - only HP has the software to decode any further details from the error, suffice to say, it's always a failure and sufficient for HP to replace the HDD if the machine is still under warranty.
    If 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 out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.
    Regarding retrieving the existing data on your HDD, if it's vital to get it, you would be best to seek the services of a company that specialises in data retrieval, however this will be expensive.
    Otherwise, here are a couple of options you could try.
    1.  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.

    2.  Another option would be to remove the HDD, place it in an external caddy - an example is on the link below - connect this to another PC and see if you can access your files.
