Hi @Joner123,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If your HP laptop won't turn on but the fans are spinning fast, it could indicate a hardware issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help diagnose and possibly resolve the problem.

Power Reset:

• Shut down the laptop and unplug it from any power source.
• Remove the battery (if removable).
• Hold down the power button for about 30 seconds to drain any residual power.
• Reconnect the battery and plug in the charger, then try powering it on again.

Check for External Displays:

• Ensure the screen is not set to an external monitor. Press Windows key + P (if you can access the system) or check your laptop's display settings via function keys (such as F4 or F5, depending on your model) to toggle between display modes.

Perform a Hard Reset (if you haven't already):

• If the laptop doesn't respond, perform a hard reset by unplugging the charger and removing the battery, then holding the power button down for 15 seconds. Reconnect the charger and try turning it on again.

Listen for Beeps or Error Codes:

• If there are any beeping sounds or lights flashing in a specific pattern, this could indicate a hardware failure, such as a RAM issue or motherboard failure. Refer to your laptop's user manual for specific beep codes.

Try an External Monitor:

• Connect your laptop to an external monitor to see if it outputs the display. If the external monitor works, then the issue is likely with the laptop's screen or related hardware.

Check the RAM:

• If you feel comfortable opening your laptop, check the RAM. Reseat or swap RAM sticks to ensure they are seated properly. Faulty RAM can sometimes cause the laptop to power on without displaying anything.

BIOS Recovery:

• Some HP laptops allow you to reset or recover the BIOS using a key combination. For example, pressing Windows + B while turning on the laptop can trigger a BIOS recovery process (check your specific model for details).

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
