Laptop doesn't boot. Light on power button blinks. I can hear fans starting 1-2 seconds and then stop. repeats after app. 10 seconds.
Opened back cover, disconnected battery. Repositioned RAM module, Power "drain" for 30 seconds. Reconnected everything.
Tried BIOS recovery via the Windows + B button - didn't work
Tried BIOS recovery via USB Flash drive didn't work, although fans started to run on higher speed for around 10 seconds and then switched off after having constantly pressed Win + B for app. 40 seconds.
Now I am out of options. Please help as this is my daughters laptop she needs for her study. Laptop is out of warranty, but only 3 years old
type: HP Pavilion 15 - bc553nd.

Hi,
I had same issue with my HP Pavilion 15 CC178cl Core i7 8th Gen. Unfortunately, the laptop was out of warranty and nearest HP Customer Support Shop was thousands of KM away from my home.
I went to my nearest laptop repairing center and they replaced the RAM in my laptop and now its working perfectly fine. However, I would recommend clearing Fan of your laptop before going to repair center because repairing can be sometime expensive.
Cheers
