I have been using my laptop all day until 4pm. I took a break when i left the library. Got home and went back to study at 7pm. Now my laptop will not start. I have tried several attempts to press the power button for 30 secs and release and nothing happens. The laptop is completely silent. The power button goes off after the long power press and when i try restarting it, it starts blinking again. Laptop doesnt to start or do anything.
I think i have Windows 10 on it. I am out of warranty as i bought the laptop Feb 2018 and its been great with no issue since then. Please help as i do not know what else to do.
Thank you,
Levi

Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that your notebook is not turning on, I am glad to assist you.
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.
Keep me posted.
If this helps, please mark the public post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.
