Help! My laptop won’t turn on

[prathma1]

I have an HP laptop. I didn’t realize the battery was dying, and it shut off. When I plug in the charger, I see the red light indicating that it’s charging. But when I press the power button, it tries to start for 2 seconds and then shuts down.

What can I do? I need this for my university work.

Hi @prathma1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be glad to help you! 

I understand that you are having issues with the PC not powering on.

CAUTION:

If your computer does not turn on, wait at least 5 minutes before troubleshooting the computer. Your computer might be installing an update for Windows or the BIOS or detecting new hardware. During this update process, you can expect the screen to be blank for several minutes. It might damage the computer if this process is interrupted. Do not turn off or unplug the computer during the update process.

Remove discs and devices and perform a hard reset

To determine whether you need to contact HP or troubleshoot startup issues, perform a hard reset.

Note: A hard reset does not affect data saved on your computer.

• 
  Turn off the computer.
• Disconnect the AC adapter.
• Remove any discs from the disc drive.
• Remove memory cards from the card reader slot.
• Disconnect all nonessential devices such as printers, scanners, external hard drives, and USB flash drives.
• Note:
• Do not disconnect your mouse, keyboard, or monitor.
• With the AC adapter unplugged, press and hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds.
• Reconnect the AC adapter, and then turn on the computer.

Note: Be sure that you use the AC adapter that was shipped with the computer.
