Hello,

 

When I go to turn on my laptop the power button lights up and the caps lock starts to blink 3 long blinks then 5 faster blinks.  The screen is black.

It doesn't sound good. As you can see from the chart here, the blink pattern indicates CPU or systemboard failure.I would try the hard reset/power reset mentioned at the beginning of the document:

Same thing happens on my Pvillion x360 M1 today (black screen with 3.5 caps lock blinking). What seems to fix mine is when I unplugged all the cables from the motherboard including CMOS battery connection, wait about 2 mins, put everything back in and reboot. First time it reboots, I got BIOS checksum error message but then the laptop correct itself and restart again without any issue afterwards.
