NO pc TOLD SCEO16438182 (THIS MEANS ZERO, TO GOOGLE OR SUPPORT PAGES)
SORRY' I am doing desktops not laptops ever, that is why I AM HERE.
I can not carbon 14 date your PC and is first i my book
as old PCs 5-7 years old need a new RTC coin cell battery of the BIOS NVRAM data is lost called BIOS configs.
I can not see your screen errors so any answer by me is like 10% accurate working dead blind.
Your PC is not dead nor screen dead
so is BIOS errors are first, all post errors must not be ignored ever. run HP diagnostic, varies by year PC made.
start with a real desktop unplugged from Ac WALL JACK
Even let the poor thing sit for 1 hour to discharge all caps inside the PC
then remove all USB devices, as they can short too and overload vbus or worse inside any PC . keep keyboard there.
and boot it using power button now.
then hammer ESC key , and go to bios page make sure no errors there and time and date are not way off.
if are off ,the RTC coin cell is dead. and that is a SHOW STOPPER MAX.
never seen windows ever use the word configs in 4 decades only BIOS but sure I can not see your screens fail.
1981 to 2021;. 4 decades now wow I'm old.
