Hello , I got a power issue poblem .
My Omen cooling fan were extremly loud. So I open lid for cleanig fans from collected dust.
That procedure done alredy many times at this and many other laptops. Thus no newbie in that subject.
After cleaning I try to check how it did improve. When I pressed POWER button it blinks once and did not stand up. Looks strange becuse battery was 3/4 of its power . I connected the power adapter . Same situation .
Laptop was open , battery disconected and discharged few times. After conecting battery , try to start . Then I ddi observe that white light indicator at power supply port blinked 3 times . Remove battery and try only with power adapter . While power pressed , every time light at port goes off like was no power, and reapeer after second.. Adapter is working - checked . RAM , battery , and few other taken out discharded. Still same . After conecting all with battery try to start - 3 times orange blinks indicating empty battery. I did conected power suplly - Port showing all time white . I diconected power adapter and connected again - this time was orange like loading battery. After 30 min still orange and no rection after pressing start button which all time blinks only once when I did try. Adpater was diconected and cnnected again. This time showing again only white light . NOW its like try to start per around 1, 8 second but then is LIKE power cut ,port goes off per second but not starting no fans spiining or else all time.
I tried to use :
holding power button per 30 sec - no reaction - when try to start per second is like power drop
combination of WINDOWS + B + power to get to BIOS - not working
discharging and starting with and without battery and only by power supply
RAM is good - got spare and check - same situation , SSD disks same ... power adapter mesured got good values .
its wierd while just before opening it was working good , life of battery was good . I just open it ....alredy have same situation in past once with Hp Omen 17" but after few hours of those steps I managed to work it up , by one of solutions - I do not even remeber what I have done., because up to tay I fixed plenty of laptops not only Hp for friends.
Now I do think that there was maybe a shortcut done by spinnig fans - driven by air - but it never occured trough years.
If anyone got any idea how to work it up - then feel free to gave any suggestions or solution. Because bad luck goes with pairs I decide to bring back multimeter and mesure power section - does it goes trough it ...one of wires stuck under box with tools and I broke one wire ...so ...Im counting now for specialists here , before I buy a new one....( soldering it will gave not real data ) Im not english native so forgive me please for all language mistakes.

Hi @Julia3678,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like you've already tried a lot of troubleshooting steps. Let's systematically address potential issues that could cause the symptoms you're experiencing with your HP Omen 15.
Power Reset:
- Disconnect all external devices and power sources, including the battery and AC adapter.
- Hold down the power button for at least 30 seconds to drain any residual power.
- Reconnect the AC adapter (leave the battery out) and try to power on the laptop.
Battery and AC Adapter Check:
- Ensure the AC adapter is functioning properly by testing it with another compatible device, or use a known-good adapter to test your laptop.
- With the battery removed, try to power the laptop using only the AC adapter. If it powers on, the issue might be with the battery.
- Reconnect the battery and check if the charging indicator light behaves consistently (orange when charging, white when fully charged).
CMOS Battery Reset:
- Locate and remove the CMOS battery on the motherboard for a few minutes to reset the BIOS settings. This can sometimes resolve power issues.
- Reinsert the CMOS battery, reassemble the laptop, and try to power it on again.
Inspect Internal Components:
- Double-check all internal connections to ensure nothing was accidentally disconnected or is loose.
- Look for any signs of physical damage, burnt components, or debris that might have caused a short circuit.
Check Power Button:
- Verify that the power button is functioning correctly and not stuck or damaged.
BIOS Recovery:
- Some HP laptops have a BIOS recovery feature. Try the following:
- Power off the laptop.
- Hold down the "Windows" + "B" keys simultaneously, then press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds.
- Release the power button while continuing to hold the "Windows" + "B" keys until the BIOS recovery screen appears.
Remove and Reinstall Components:
- Remove the RAM and try booting with each module individually in different slots.
- Remove the SSD/HDD and attempt to boot into BIOS to rule out storage device issues.
Check for Short Circuits:
- Inspect the motherboard for any signs of short circuits, especially around the fan area where you were working.
- If you suspect a short, use a multimeter to check continuity on power circuits.
External Monitor Test:
- Connect the laptop to an external monitor to check if the display is functioning.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it could indicate a deeper hardware fault, possibly with the motherboard itself.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
