@DarriusG, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Blinking LED on HP Laptop! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

When your HP laptop isn't turning on, but you see a blinking LED when charging, it might indicate a hardware issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to diagnose and possibly resolve the issue:

1. Check the Power Adapter and Battery

• Ensure that your power adapter is connected properly and is functioning. Try using a different power adapter if available.
• Remove the battery (if it's removable) and try turning on the laptop with just the power adapter.

2. Perform a Hard Reset

• Unplug the power adapter and remove the battery.
• Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds to drain any residual charge.
• Reinsert the battery and reconnect the power adapter, then try turning on the laptop.

3. Inspect for LED Blinking Codes

• Count the number of blinks. Certain blink patterns can indicate specific issues. Refer to the HP support site or your laptop's manual to understand what the blinking code means.
  • Example: Two quick blinks followed by a pause might indicate a CPU error.

4. Disconnect External Devices

• Remove all external devices connected to the laptop (e.g., USB drives, external monitors).
• Try powering on the laptop to see if it resolves the issue.

5. Verify Component Connections

• If comfortable and your laptop’s warranty allows, open the laptop’s rear panel.
• Ensure that all internal components (RAM, SSD/HDD) are securely connected.  

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
