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

ESCon boot - check for BIOS updates

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].
