Hi @Onofua,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your HP laptop is unable to boot, here are several steps you can take to diagnose and potentially fix the issue:

Step 1: Identify the Symptoms

Please confirm what exactly happens when you try to power it on:

• Does the HP logo appear?
• Do you see a black screen or an error message?
• Do you hear beeping sounds or see blinking lights?
• Does the fan spin, or is it completely dead?

Let me know, and I can tailor the steps better. Meanwhile, here’s a general guide:

Step 2: Basic Power Reset

1. Turn off the laptop.
2. Unplug the power adapter.
3. If the battery is removable, take it out.
4. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
5. Reconnect the power (without battery if removable) and try turning it on.

Step 3: Try BIOS or Startup Menu

• Turn on the laptop and immediately press Esc repeatedly (once per second).
• If the Startup Menu appears, press F2 for diagnostics or F10 for BIOS.
• If nothing appears, try F10 or F11 directly after powering on.

I hope this helps.

Take care, and have an amazing day!
