I left my laptop in hibernate mode for almost half a day, so that I could easily start what I've been doing. When I returned, I discovered that the battery ran out of charge, I plugged it and waited for a bit but when I pressed the power button, the computer has this beeping sound 1 long followed by 3 short beeps.<br><br>I would like to know what the problem is and if it can be fixed and how.<br><br>thank you for you time!!<br>p.s.<br>i'm kinda close to freaking out about this

OK. So this is that moment when you feel it's a condition where contacting HP would make things easy.
But if the diagnosis is board failure, please be informed of cost of replacing with new one vs just going for a new laptop for yourself.
Hope my posts helped you,

Hi purplethumb
I'll try helping you in this,
According to the beep,
1 Long and 3 Short beeps may indicate a memory failure, or that a memory module has become loose. Try re-seating your memory and see if that helps.
It can also indicate a faulty power supply - battery
Try this:
First do a hard reset:
Follow the steps given in this document -
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01684768
Then,
Test for hardware failure both HDD & memory sticks, of any failures found - HDD/RAM has to be replaced:
Follow steps given here-
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01443317
If beep still there:
remove CMOS/RTC battery (small silver watch-battery used for proper functioning of time/date in laptop) after opening up back cover ---
Here's the user manual for the steps: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295820.pdf
reinsert cell after an hour or so.
power on after connecting the AC adapter
reset bios to default, follow is document to get help regarding the steps : http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07110
Thanks,

Did hardware test fail or pass?
Did you try reseating the memory stick?
You could try reseating hard drive following the procedures in the manual & do the testing again.
If it's not worked, might be better to contact HP in your region.
