My battery was dying, so I changed it and now the computer won't turn on. I've tried a hard reboot. I've tried disconnecting the battery and plugging the power adapter. I've even tried plugging the old battery again. Nothing works. I get an orange led, which should mean that the battery is charging, but no sign of life.

I've taken the computer to a repair center, where they told me the problem was with the new battery, but I don't know if this makes sense, as in that case the computer should turn on with the power adapter connected and the battery disconnected.

@kandimba Have you attempted to connect the device to an alternate power cord or adapter?

Or check with another wall outlet, excluding any surge protectors to check if it works?

 

While you respond to that, here's  the best way to resolve the issue, using the HP Guided Troubleshooter:

If the above doesn't help or the steps are insufficient, check the below steps:

Let's start with a hard reset of your notebook computer before you try any other troubleshooting steps.

 

Reasons for a hard reset

A hard reset has the following effects:

  • Clears the memory.

  • Reestablishes the connection between the BIOS and the hardware

The following conditions can be helped by the hard reset:

  • Windows stop responding.

  • The display suddenly goes blank.

  • The computer does not wake from sleep or hibernate modes.

  • Software applications freeze or fail to respond.

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I don't have another charger. I have tried another power outlet.

I've tried your suggestions for a hard reset and it did nothing. The computer still won't turn on.

I just wanted to make sure if the motherboard is still working or not.
