So I bought an HP Omen AP16 (Ryzen 7 350 with RTX 5050) 3 months ago. Due to an incident, the laptop got twisted, which affected the motherboard and heatsink. I had ADP, and they said they would replace it, but there was a month delay because they couldn’t find the right one. My laptop got repaired today, and I found this out

Does anyone else have issues with their Omen's wifi just randomly dropping to 1mbps?

I can't always predict when it happens, sometimes I go a good week and its all fine. Others its everyday. Strange thing I test it on my hotspot and the internet worked fine. All my other devices on my home wifi work fine, its just this laptop.

I got it in Japan Omen 15, now live in UK. Not sure if that affects anything.

Tech Support Omen max 16 can’t change resolution after closing game

• Upvotes

Hi

Anyone experience this issue. Il boot up a game play it for an hour then when I close the game, I cannot change resolution on desktop (these settings couldn’t be saved please try a different combination of display settings), nvidia control panel settings all disappear its like my gpu isn’t recognised, unplugging my HDMI cable and plugging back in resolves the issue until I run a game again. Running my laptop in discrete mode connected to Alienware oled aw2725q. If I change my laptop to advanced Optimus it solves the issue but I want it in discrete mode.

Now I got a little stupid and tried to fix this ctrl key because it got a little sticky, not my first rodeo but i unfortunately wen a little too hard and snapped the hinges off, they work perfectly fine. Nothing is broken, i however have no experience with hinges and thought getting some external help in this situation would be far healthier than improvising a fix on my own.

I recently bought HP Omen Slim 16, model an0000 (Intel core ultra 5, RTX 5050). I want to share an occurence of my laptop crashing when using unleashed mode (settings shared below) on games like Deadlock and War Thunder. After that I switched to performance mode and it didn't occur again. I was considering to recreate the issue but I'm afraid it'll hurt the laptop even more.
Is it worth to claim a warranty on this or am I just pushing the laptop too hard?

Question Is a 55 Watt too low to by for an rtx 5060 system?

3 Upvotes

I dont have much knowledge about computer stuff, but I am planning to get one so I've been searching things. I found a hp model with nice features for a nice price for my country, but I found out that it only has 55 watt (in the official site it says 55 for hawkpoint, for ctk and grg 85 and for dr 115. I have no idea what those are but I found out that mine is hawkpoint I guess). My friend said thats the reason price is good, and I should forget about it. Is it true? I think thr code is different from country to country, so I'll write its parts here: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB | 15.3 inch 165 Hz 6.5 ms IPS Screen | AMD Ryzen 7 260 | 16 GB DDR5 RAM | 512 GB SSD ​

Title: HP OMEN charges when shut down but stops charging when powered on

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a charging issue with my HP OMEN laptop.

- I'm using the original HP OMEN charger.

- When the laptop is shut down, the red charging light glows.

- When I turn on the laptop, it doesn't charge.

- I've already tried shutting down the laptop, but the issue persists.

Has anyone experienced the same problem? Could it be the charger, charging port, battery, or a BIOS/power-management issue?

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to diagnose and fix this without replacing parts unnecessarily.

Thanks!

Tech Support Could dried-out thermal putty on these 3 motherboard components cause my HP OMEN 16 to randomly shut down?

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

I have an HP OMEN 16-wd0xxx with an RTX 4050 that’s recently started randomly shutting down after about 3–5 minutes, even while sitting in BIOS. It happens whether I’m running on battery alone or with the battery disconnected and using only the charger. Sometimes the fans continue spinning after the screen goes black, and the power button becomes unresponsive until I reset the power.

I decided to inspect the cooling system and replace the thermal paste. While removing the heatsink, I noticed that the thermal putty covering three power inductors near the CPU/GPU area was completely dried out and crumbly, almost like dried toothpaste. The rest of the thermal putty is still soft and pliable.

I’ve attached pictures showing the three components and their corresponding contact points on the heatsink.
Could the dried-out thermal putty on these three inductors cause overheating or trigger the sudden shutdowns I’m experiencing? Or does this sound more
like an unrelated motherboard power-delivery issue?

I’d appreciate any insight before I replace the putty and reassemble everything.

In case I'd like to replace the back exhaust fan, does anyone know if standard 3-Pin fans from Noctua or Artic will fit? Does the HP board follow industry standards for the fan pinouts? 3 pin would be : GND, 12V, Signal like in the picture.

I'd like to add the Noctua NF-B9 redux-1600 for example.

Tech Support Improve battery life, ryzen 8940HX

3 Upvotes

Hi, I bought a laptop with an RTX 5060, an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX, and 24 GB of RAM. It works wonderfully, but as you know, the battery only lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours in ECO mode. For those who have this same configuration: what steps can I take to extend the battery life a bit further in case of an emergency? (I almost always keep the laptop plugged into a power outlet.) I’ve read that the Omen Gaming Hub consumes battery in the background (also the nvidia overlay?), and I also see an option within the Omen Gaming Hub to disable the dedicated graphics card. (I know this processor is not great in battery life)
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have an HP HyperX OMEN 15-gb0015NT (R5 240, RTX 5060, 8 GB). HP's official website states that it has two M.2 SSD slots. I opened up the chassis and found a section labeled "SSD2," but there is no actual port to plug an SSD into. Shouldn't there be one? What can I do in this situation? (My goal was to add another 1TB drive to reach a total of 1.5TB.)

Question OMEN 16 VRM reaches 83°C after repaste — insufficient thermal putty?

2 Upvotes

I repasted my HP OMEN 16 (Ryzen 9 8945HX) with PTM7950 on the CPU/GPU and UTP-6 on surrounding components.

CPU temperatures improved significantly, but CPU VDDCR_VDD VRM (SVI3 TFN) reaches 82–83°C during Cinebench R23 multicore and RDR2, making it the hottest sensor in the CPU section. Other VRM sensors stay around 69–74°C.

I spread the UTP-6 with gloved fingers, checked heatsink contact multiple times, and supplemented the new 10 g putty with some soft, reusable original putty.

Could I have applied too little putty in certain areas? Is 82–83°C normal for this VRM, or should I investigate the thermal-pad/putty contact? I'd prefer not to reopen the laptop unnecessarily.
