Let me know if you would like help with any of that :)

Q: What if the test says the hard drive is not installed or not available?
A: If the diagnostic scan cannot detect the HDD (hard drive), that means its either bad or loose. I would first try 'reseating' the HDD as seen here in this updated video: youtu.be/lWlTQDAxpio. Try the scan again. If it still says that its not installed, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. You can see examples of HDDs or SSDs you can purchase here in this Storage List: amzn.to/430vkEz.

Q: What if changing the settings in BIOS didn't help and the scan passes everything?
A: If changing the settings in BIOS did not help, and the diagnostic scan showed all components to be healthy, then its most likely an issue with your operating system. Can you find any Restore or Repair options in BIOS? Or perhaps an option to Uninstall Last Update? If not, your last resort would be to reinstall the Operating System.

Q: The test says the battery is almost dead. Is that my issue?
A: If the test says your battery is dying, I would definitely replace it asap. However, that's most likely not the cause of your boot loop. To make sure, remove the battery and try to turn the computer on with only the power adapter plugged in. What happens then?
