HP 3 short Blink again and again and again and dont work

@Valerius_Burgas, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

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

The 3 short blinks repeating on an HP laptop usually indicates a hardware failure, and HP uses specific blink codes (LED blink/beep codes) to help diagnose the issue. Here's what 3 short blinks typically mean:

💡 HP 3 Short Blinks - What It Means

Depending on which LED is blinking (Caps Lock, Num Lock, Power LED, etc.), 3 short blinks (repeating) usually point to a memory (RAM) failure.

🛠️ What You Can Do to Troubleshoot

✅ 1. Power Drain / Hard Reset

• Turn off the laptop.
• Unplug the power adapter.
• If the battery is removable, take it out.
• Hold the power button for 30 seconds.
• Reconnect power (without battery if removable), and try turning it on again.

✅ 2. Reseat or Replace RAM

Open the back panel of your laptop (if accessible).

Carefully remove the RAM sticks, clean the contacts with a soft cloth, and reinsert them securely.

If there are 2 RAM sticks, try:

• Booting with one at a time in each slot.
• Swapping their positions.
