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.

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. You can also refer to the below shown link for further support

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.

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.

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...

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:

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.

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.
View Solution.

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.

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.

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.

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!

HP Pavilion Model G4-1315DX Short DST : Failed

I have tried starting my computer numerous times and everytime it gets stuck on the windows startup screen.
I ran a quick start up test on it and everything passes besides the short DST.
This is a windows 7 version pre installed.
I have no idea what I need to do in order to get this fixed... Someone help?

You will need to purchase a new hard drive and install it. Boot with Recovery Disks to install Windows and you are back up and running. You have a 500gb hard drive and will need to get one at least that capacity in order to use Recovery Disks.
If you don't have Recovery Disks you can order for a nominal fee. Scroll down on the list of Drivers to see the option to order Recovery Media:

Run-In Test: Hard Disk Short DST: FAILED

Thanks very much!I have bought and implemented the new hard disk (https://www.alternate.de/HGST/HTS545050A7E380-500-GB-Festplatte/html/product/797154?campaign=Festplatte%2FHGST%2F797154).

Hi Everyone,
The laptop is a HP ENVY 4-1258sr Ultrabook and failed the Run-In Test.
If I start the laptop there´s this defect report:
I think the hard drive has failed or? Unfortunately the warranty has already expired. Can the data on the hard drive be rescued? I would be very grateful for help!!!

Hp 2000 2b09wm windows 8.1 stuck in recovery short DST failed?

Hello. I am trying to fix my mothers laptop HP 2000 2b09wm stuck in some type of recovery mode that is so very frustrating. The thing is that these windows machines will always end up at some point not working and the result may be like where this one is, this recovery blahblahblah or some other f12 bios repair, ect.....It doesn't matter as yes, i am venting. I feel left out. I use an Apple laptop, an 8 year old one and I never get to have these fun type of emergency out of the blue issues. My stupid computer always just works as it should and i am disappointed ny this. And Apple, they are no help. Yea i try contacting them to ask why and if the may sell some software to keep me on my toes by installing a random failure type of deal and they do. It is however 3rd party and does cost a whopping $319.99. and it is download only. But otherwise if you buy an Apple computer, that is what you get. Expect it to operate as it should. Well i am getting bored with using my laptop (the only one that does work) to access the web to go to HP's web site and thumb thru forums to find a solution as to why their machines are not working. This is rediculious! Just saying guys.........i can't hardly get pestered to randomly update..........this is ludicrous! Any way i did finaly find a solution to this problem. I went to starbucks and set up my moms laptop at a table then i left it unattened like i went to the john. It took longer than i thought but YES! some thieving a**hole finaly did grab it! AHH HAHAHA! have fun douche bag, jokes on you! Maybe he will be searching this very forum looking for a fix as to why this laptop sucks!!! Peace out b****es!!!!!!!!

Hi Searchn,
Instead of using discs, you can create a recovery solution on certain blank USB storage devices. With a USB flash drive, you do not have to swap discs and recovery the recovery process completes much faster. Using Recovery Manager to create the recovery media is the same as discs. Select Create recovery media with a USB flash drive.
On the page click on save a recovery image to a USB flash drive. It will show you a video and how to do this.
