Firmware

HP does not provide update files for Linux. Download a file for Windows and using offline USB storage update does not work.

To update BIOS:

connect laptop to a LAN
enter bios by pressing ESC on boot
check for BIOS updates
follow instructions for upgrading or roll back

Tablet mode

This laptop has a sensor built in to detect if it is in tablet mode.

When in tablet mode, the keyboard is disabled. Auto rotation with iio-sensor-proxy does not work at the moment.

Fingerprint Reader

This laptop has a fingerprint reader.

The fingerprint device is supported by fprintd. The firmware needs to be upgraded via fwupd.

Currently, fwupd 1.6.x is buggy and does not let you update your device correctly. Downgrade to fwupd 1.5.x to install the correct firmware.

Common problems

Fn lock, Fn+Shift

Fn lock and Fn+Shift+key combinations do not work with BIOS firmware 1.05.00 and 1.04.02. Roll back to BIOS 1.03.00 version to fix.

Touchpad unresponsive

Touchpad stops working with BIOS 1.03.00 sometimes. Reboot or restart hid to fix:

# rmmod i2c_hid_acpi
# rmmod i2c_hid
# modprobe i2c_hid_acpi
# modprobe i2c_hid

This can be executed at boot for a quick fix, e.g. via a systemd service.

Auto-rotation

Auto-rotation does not work [1].
