HI @Involve,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP laptop’s power button or another LED indicator is blinking green, it often signifies that the system is in a state of power-saving mode, such as sleep or hibernation, or it could be indicating a hardware issue. Here’s how you can troubleshoot and address this:

1. Check Power and Battery

• Ensure Power Supply: Make sure the power adapter is properly connected and the battery is charged. Sometimes a blinking green light can indicate the battery is charging or that there’s a power issue.
• Remove and Reinsert Battery: If your laptop has a removable battery, try removing it and then reinserting it. This can sometimes resolve power-related issues.

2. Perform a Hard Reset

A hard reset can sometimes clear temporary glitches:

1. Turn Off the Laptop: Hold down the power button for about 10-15 seconds to force the laptop to turn off completely.
2. Disconnect Power Supply: Unplug the power adapter and remove the battery (if removable).
3. Press and Hold Power Button: With the power supply and battery disconnected, press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds. This discharges any residual power.
4. Reconnect and Restart: Reconnect the battery and power adapter, then try turning the laptop back on.

3. Boot into Safe Mode

If the laptop turns on but gets stuck in a loop or doesn’t boot properly:

1. Turn Off the Laptop: As mentioned earlier, hold down the power button to turn off the laptop completely.
2. Turn On and Access Boot Menu: Turn on the laptop and immediately start pressing F8, Esc, or another key (depending on the model) to access the boot menu or Advanced Boot Options.
3. Select Safe Mode: From the options, choose Safe Mode to see if you can boot into Windows with minimal drivers.

4. Check for Hardware Issues

• Inspect for Loose Components: Open the laptop (if you’re comfortable doing so) and check for any loose connections or components. Ensure that RAM and hard drive are properly seated.
• Listen for Beep Codes: If the laptop is producing beep codes, they can indicate specific hardware issues. Refer to your laptop’s manual for beep code meanings.

5. Verify BIOS/UEFI Settings

Sometimes, incorrect BIOS/UEFI settings can cause issues:

1. Access BIOS/UEFI: Turn on your laptop and press the key to enter BIOS/UEFI (usually F2, F10, DEL, or Esc).
2. Check Settings: Ensure that the settings are correct, especially related to boot order and hardware components.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
