Laptop not turning on but HDD light on for a few seconds

[HelpMeNoMercy]

My HP laptop won't turn on, when I press the power button nothing happens on the screen or cap lock button, however, the HDD light turns on briefly. I have tried to do a reset (pressing and holding the power button without battery) but had no result. I also noticed that the fans do not turn on. The laptop was working fine one the morning, but the next it wouldn't turn on. Please help if you can.

Thanks.

Welcome to the HP support community.

Have you attempted to connect the device to an alternate power cord or adapter?

Or check with another wall outlet, excluding any surge protectors to check if it works?

Let's start with a hard reset of your notebook computer before you try any other troubleshooting steps.

Reasons for a hard reset

A hard reset has the following effects:

• Clears the memory.

• Reestablishes the connection between the BIOS and the hardware

The following conditions can be helped by the hard reset:

• Windows stop responding.

• The display suddenly goes blank.

• The computer does not wake from sleep or hibernate modes.

• Software applications freeze or fail to respond.

Yeah, I've tried to plug into another AC adaptor, changed the outlet where I was plugged in, and performed a hard reset to no avail. What boggles my mind is that was perfectly fine on day and the next it wouldn't turn on. Hope you can help
