Question:
I am experiencing HP Envy error code 0X00829C98 HW_WATCHDOG C. What is this error, and how can I troubleshoot it?
Answer:
To answer your question, HP Envy error code 0X00829C98 HW_WATCHDOG C is poorly documented, and its definition is unclear. But this error is usually associated with a hardware problem that causes the printer's internal watchdog function, which checks on itself to prevent it from going nuts, to activate.
Non-Conventional Fix:
Strangely, there is an unusual and functional way to work around this particular error. You can solve the problem by dropping the printer from a distance of about one meter (or three feet) onto a level surface, which will reset its internal hardware. This unconventional approach has been reported to work consistently for this error. Don't place the printer on a carpeted or padded surface, lest you damage the cosmetic. This "shock reset" probably resolved or reset the internal components causing the fault.
Proceed with Caution:
Although widely cited as practical, this method must be considered with caution. [For natural light], ensure the printer is turned off and unplugged from any current [before trying this]. Call HP support or find a professional technician to help if you're uncomfortable trying it.
Printer issues can be quite the hassle—simply because the problem is always hands-on. As a result, we cannot troubleshoot, recommend, or assist in any repairs remotely. We have an in-person evaluation and repair service through our local diagnostic facility (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service), and the demand is quite high, so we run on a first-come-first-serve basis. So we may not be able to get your printer to deliver it for weeks." The way our services have been directed towards either repairing a printer or certain parts of it and how to approach it. However, we must admit that we don't offer the freshest rates. So, we strongly suggest that you turn to self-help using online articles. To start exploring, you can visit both YouTube and our home page on our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies) and then search for specific videos by clicking the search icon next to "About" on the right side of the menu bar. Every day, I get many questions like: "Are there videos on [some topic]?" After nearly a decade of making videos, it's difficult to remember every single one. So, the search function on YouTube would probably work best. YouTube may also recommend related videos from other channels that can help you.
