Your HP Envy won’t start or runs noticeably slower than it used to? Very often the culprit is the drive. Repair usually takes 1–3 working days.
In short: when HP Envy shows a black or blue screen, in many cases the problem turns out to be the drive, not the system. We check its speed, replace it with a new SSD if necessary, and safely transfer your data.
Our experience with HP Envy
We’ve replaced the drive in 2 HP Envy laptops. This is HP’s higher-end consumer range — a slimmer chassis than the Pavilion, where drive replacement requires precise disassembly.
Envy — drive replacement in a slimmer design
Envy, thanks to its slimmer chassis than the Pavilion, has less space inside, which requires precise disassembly when replacing the drive. Upgrading to a faster SSD is one of the most noticeable improvements in this series — the laptop speeds up significantly when starting the system and opening programs.

Symptoms of a damaged or slow drive
- Laptop won’t start — black or blue screen
- Very long system and program loading times
- System freezes or restarts for no reason
- Strange noises from inside (with older HDD drives)
We check the drive with HD Tune — below 50 MB/s is a clear sign of a problem, above 200 MB/s is normal for a healthy SSD.
