Laptop has an Intel core i5 and NVIDIA geoforce. I forgot to charge my laptop and it turned off on its on and when I tried charing it to turn it on again, the fan started running (this never happened) and my laptop wont turn on even if i try. The light that appears when its charging is not showing and i am wondering why this is happenong even if the laptop isn't heated up.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
-
Examine the adapter and power cord for physical damage
-
Test the power from the AC wall outlet to the notebook connector
-
Start the computer using the battery only
-
Check that the lid switch moves freely
-
When you have completed the troubleshooting steps, there should be power available to the computer. When you press the power button, the LEDs should glow, and you should hear the sounds of the fan and the hard drive spinning.
-
If the battery does not accept the charge or the notebook does not turn on without the AC adapter, contact HP to order a replacement battery.
-
If the LEDs do not glow, and there are no other indicators of power being available to the computer, contact HP for technical assistance in troubleshooting a potential problem with the AC power connection or the system board.
-
If the LEDs blink, or the computer beeps, but it does not start, go to HP Notebook PCs - Troubleshooting LED Blink Codes or Beep Codes During Startup or Boot.
-
If the LEDs glow but the computer does not start on either battery or AC power, go to Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.

Hello, I tried trouble shooting by holding the power button for 30 seconds without the battery and the AC adapter plugged in. It still wont turn on when I plug the AC adapter and battery again. Nothing still happens.
I cant pin point the problem because the laptop really has no power to begin with when all this happened. I cant charge the laptop either.
