Hello there,
I've been facing this issue since 2 years now, seems like a simple problem but mine is really weird, I didn't get any query regarding my issue hence I decided to post it myself. Please read my post completely and please help me resolve this issue.
When I leave the laptop (HP Pavilion 15-cc1xx, win 10 64 bit, Intel core i5-8250U) idle, the screen turns off to save power & doesn't respond to any inputs even external connected USB mouse light turns off (I saw that when this happens the HDD LED turns off I suppose the HDD is not waking). After screen turn off it is suppose to go to sleep but the power LED and fans are continuously on until I hard reboot using power button.
Here is the weird part--- This only happens if my laptop is plugged in and doesn't occur while on battery. The power options screen is shared below
I've tried doing almost all troubleshooting like updating drivers, BIOS, and sfc scan and also reset but all in vain.
Sometimes, this also happens when I put it to sleep, but this sleep issue occurs very rarely cannot predict when it happens I've to hold my breath when I press sleep and wait until the power LED starts blinking for confirmation or else I've to again hard reboot only to loose unsaved data. Although this sleep issue happens very very rarely.
I think the issue is only with HDD since the HDD LED stops blinking when this happens ***.***When it is blinking then I'm sure that the screen will turn on as I've seen it for myself many times.
Here is the picture of power and HDD LED I was talking about,

Yes I know this. This is where I downloaded my current useless BIOS but I want to know the file name of my previous BIOS version F.33
I'm sure HP will release another Bios version soon
The first time you were flashing your bios did you save the previous bios? If not, then it won't work for you.
No I didn't save it and I've tried this method it didn't work. Who knew this was gonna be so problematic. Next time I'll ensure that I'll back up.
But, I seriously doubt that the BIOS setup(of version F.33) I have is compatible with my PC. It might be that the HP employee has given me wrong BIOS. HP doesn't give old BIOS in its website but I have the link of old HP BIOS page and I don't know how to find mine-->ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq
If you know any website that keeps track of HP setup releases for all HP laptops then please share.
