Hi @anuragsahani 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this—it sounds like a boot failure or hardware issue, especially with the Caps Lock blinking

 

Here are some steps to troubleshoot:

 

1. Perform a Hard Reset

  • Turn off the laptop.
  • Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery (if removable).
  • Hold the power button for 30 seconds to drain residual power.
  • Reconnect the battery and power adapter, then try booting again.

2. Identify the Blink Code

  • HP laptops use Caps Lock blinking patterns to indicate hardware failures.
  • Count the number of blinks and check HP’s blink code guide here.

3. Try BIOS Recovery

  • Press Win + B or Fn + B while powering on the laptop.
  • If the BIOS recovery screen appears, follow the instructions.

4. Reseat RAM & Storage

  • If comfortable, remove and reinsert the RAM and SSD/HDD.
  • Loose connections can cause boot failures.

5. Connect to an External Display

  • Plug in an external monitor via HDMI or VGA.
  • If the display works, the issue might be with the laptop’s screen.
