Hey guys,
My laptop (HP ProBook 4540S, originally with SUSE 11) is driving me nuts. I installed Ubuntu a few years ago and always got the updates. Since 16.10 I can't upgrade anymore and it shows an error "not all updates can be installed". But even a partial upgrade won't work.
Plus, when I shut down the laptop turns itself off after shutting down and after a few seconds turns itself on again. I can only click the power button to turn it off at that moment to keep it turned off.
Sometimes, when I start the laptop, it just doesn't start properly: the CAPS lock key blinks and the ventilation is going like crazy. Then I can't use the power button but I have to remove the battery to turn it off.
Does anyone know what to do? I'm guessing this is a bigger issue and I would love to bring my device somewhere to have it checked. Is there something like that in the area of Zurich, Switzerland?
Cheers and I highly appreciate all feedback!

Ah, and another thing: at one point my laptop inverted the scrolling direction of my mouse pad. Can I revert that?
