Hi, I’m a total dunce when it comes to anything other than turning this laptop on and typing. There are no signs of power on this laptop model number 17-ca0004cy. The warranty just expired in oct 2019 so it’s not very old. Any help would be appreciated. It’s my work laptop and was working fine on Friday. I shut it down and unplugged it and stored it in a bag all weekend. I had it hooked back up last night and plugged in for about 11 hours. Today it’s

To determine the cause with hardware failures, you have to be able run diagnostics. We have no way of accessing your PC from here, so we can not do that for you. You have to do it yourself.
You do this by pressing the Esc key repeatedly when rebooting and then, when the HP Startup Menu appears, selecting Diagnostics (usually F2) and letting it run.
If it is NOT possible to run diagnostics, or if that does not work, then there is NOTHING more you can do by yourself -- and there is NOTHING we can do.
You will need to have the PC physically examined in a service facility by folks that can run their own diagnostics to determine what is wrong with it.
--------------------
Since your PC is no longer under warranty, then it will cost you up front to have HP examine your PC. If you want to do that, you will have to contact an HP Repair or Service Center to see if they can examine the PC to determine the cause(s) of the problems, if it can be repaired, and an estimate of the repair costs.
Since you live in the U.S., here is a link to the HP Service Repair Centers:

If that link does not get you a useful page, then use the main HP link:
