The unit began freezes upon boot up (at half way of blue status bar), I reset HDD, now freezes with no progress at status bar. USB connection not recognized by win XP.

You need to update the toy. Connect it to your Learning Lodge Navigator. You should be prompted for an update.

I have one too love mine, its now a server.
the Z400 or z600 are even more cool,l best of the best.
so did you just find these Enterprise workstation, its not a PC.
its a work station, Ill explain it .

this WS if reset or out of the box new boots to thin net.
that means it boots from another server using the built in ethernet chip, PXE. and will not boot to hdd. by default , OOBE

learn to use BIOS, the book on this great workstation covers that.
you must turn off PXE first the set the boot order any way you wish. HDD, CD, USB drives, SD mem, and PXE (no dont)
is the coin cell RTC new and fresh, most dont last this long
and is job 1, after about 7 years old. (5 lowest)

mine can boot to linux ubuntu 16 on USB stick or CD or DVD
a fact
and mine runs windows 10 64bit fast.
I even run a p410 HP RAID card and huge array. in it no issues

here is a page that shows lots of 4500 tricks and secrets

see bios photo NIC PXE , see DO THIS.

Yes! Yes! The exact same thing is happening to my nuvi 1300 right now one month after yours. What did you figure out? Can someone help? I've also tried to do the clear the device by pushing the right hand corner of the screen while powering on and I do not get any sort of 'would you like to clear everything?' message that I'm suppose to get. I'm going to check into battery recall that I heard about, but I don't think it's for the Nuvi 1300. Someone help! A :)

Try resetting the unit and also charge it using only the wall charger overnight. Here's how to reset -it just puts everything back to factory settings - 1- Turn unit on WHILE HOLDING your thumb in the lower right corner as shown in picture. 2-Select YES PLEASE Take the time to vote me up this is my only reward for trying to help. Thanks

May be a HDD error or possibly a virus.

Have you tried accessing the bios to set boot order? It may be trying to load from the hdd before the optical/usb drive.

During the flash screen, press F2 (though it can vary by maker) and change your boot order to load the USB drive first.

Hope this helps!

you can get "live" versions .... mandarin is pretty good

REPLACE IN THIS ORDER.

IF THAT DOES NOT WORK
IT NEEDS A FORMATTER BOARD.

Actually I deleted the PCL 6 drivers which had been installed by the original HP driver CD, went to the HP website and downloaded the PCL 5e drivers instead.

I also added a USB switchbox between the PC and Printer, leaving the default setting as disconnected. Now, it boots up fine, without having the HP printer connected.

In use, I wait until just before I need to print a document, switch the USB selector to connected and obtain hardcopies of my documents.

Then, to ensure against screen lockups / freezing, I switch the USB selector back to disconnected.

It's a kludge and not what you should have to do for a $400 laser printer AIO device.

Naturally, I am completely unimpressed with HP software engineers, who have a functionality somewhat below Dilbert and his crew.

You might want to run a harddrive diagnostic test. You can find bootable iso's on the harddrive manufacturers website.
