Hi @TheodorGeology ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand your HP Omen laptop shows power issues like this—charging light on but screen remains blank—it often points to a hardware problem. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:
 

Perform a Hard Reset:

• Disconnect the charger and any peripherals (like USBs or external drives).
• Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds.
• Reconnect the charger (without any other peripherals), and try powering on the laptop again.

Check for Battery and Charger Issues:

• Ensure you’re using the original charger, as third-party chargers can sometimes cause compatibility issues.
• Try powering on the laptop with just the charger connected and without the battery if it’s removable. If it powers on, the battery might need to be replaced.

Attempt a BIOS Recovery:

• Turn off the laptop.
• Press and hold the Windows + B keys (or Windows + V on some models), and then press and hold the Power button for 2-3 seconds.
• Release the Power button but continue holding the Windows and B keys until the BIOS recovery screen appears (this may take several seconds).

Inspect for Loose Connections (if comfortable opening the laptop):

• If you’re comfortable, check that components like the RAM, SSD, and internal battery are securely connected, as a loose connection can prevent booting. Be cautious, as this could void any warranties if the laptop is still covered.

External Display Test:

• Connect an external monitor or TV via HDMI to rule out screen issues. Power on the laptop to see if it displays on the external screen.
