Hi, i own HP pavilion gaming 15-cx0000. It was working fine. Then I had to go somewhere and I turned it off. Once I came back I turned on then some smoke went out of from the wents. So I immediately turned it off. Now when I turn it on everything boots up, but then fans stop and Caps lock starts to blink : 5 long blinks 3 short.

Could be a problem with the power & charging board or a damaged motherboard. The fact that is is sending out a code indicates the motherboard may be good.
