Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hi, my laptop was on low battery and the screen the turned black when I plugged in the charger. Now it won't seem to startup at all. The screen remains black after turning it off and on. I've tried removing the battery and unplugging everything for a hard reset but no lock. Have also tried pressing window button + B key while powering on. So far nothing has worked. Caps lock light blinks twice once the laptop is on. Any help would be tremendous thanks

Hi @DavidJ30,

 

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

 

As I understand the computer is not booting into the windows anymore,

 

To provide an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

 

What is the sequence of the blinks? (Example: 3 blinks and then pause 3 blinks again, in a loop)

 

As I understand the caps lock light blinks twice in a row, which indicates to be an issue with the Bios corruption.

 

Please click on the below links once you identify the blink code and resolve the issue:

Thank you for the lengthy and helpful response. However, I took the laptop to a pc repair location where I was informed that the repair wasn't worth the cost and had to buy a refurbished laptop and extract my files to a hard drive usb. Motherboard failure due to what I belive to be BIOS corruption destroyed the pc and resulted in me having to purchase a replacement.
