Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

Do you see any LED activity on the external power adapter or the Laptop itself? Check power adapter connection to the device and the AC outlet. Verify the ac power cord is securely connected to the power adapter.

 

Do you see anything on screen?

 

Regards

The opening page (scenic) and it lists the date and time is the only thing that appears. Can not go to anything else. Took the battery out and this did not help.

Hi Angmarie,

 

That screen is the lock screen. I thought your PC was not responding at startup.

 

Tap on the keyboard or click the mouse.

 

Tapping the keyboard should get you to the login screen.

 

Regards
