Hi @Roovani,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
I understand your HP PC shows a power light on, the screen stays off, and the Caps Lock key blinks. This is a diagnostic code indicating a hardware issue. The number of blinks is crucial to identifying the problem.
Step 1: Count the Blinks
Watch the Caps Lock LED carefully and count how many times it blinks in a repeating pattern. This will help pinpoint the issue.
Step 2: Perform a Hard Reset
- Turn off the PC and unplug it.
- Remove the battery (if removable).
- Press and hold the Power button for 15 seconds.
- Reconnect the power and try turning it on.
Step 3: Try BIOS Recovery (if 2 blinks)
If it's a BIOS corruption issue:
- Download the BIOS recovery file from HP’s support site using another PC.
- Create a recovery USB stick.
- Insert it into the affected PC.
- Press and hold Windows + B, then press the Power button.
- Release the Power button, but keep holding Windows + B until the BIOS recovery screen appears.
I hope this helps.
Take care, and have an amazing day!
