When powering up the Spectre X360, there is no display, and the caps lock light indicates a long blink followed by three short blinks. Could this be a display issue or a motherboard issue?

Hi @MoeezRehman,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The pattern of blinks on the caps lock light you're describing— one long blink followed by three short blinks— is a diagnostic code that HP laptops, such as the Spectre X360, use to indicate specific hardware issues. Typically, these blink codes are meant to help identify problems with the computer's hardware components without needing to fully boot up the system.

  • Perform a power reset (or hard reset) of your notebook to clear information from the computer memory without erasing personal data.
  • Turn off the computer.
  • Disconnect the AC adapter.
  • Remove any discs from the disc drive.
  • Remove memory cards from the card reader slot.
  • Disconnect all nonessential peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, external hard drives, and USB flash drives.
  • With the AC adapter unplugged, press and hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds.
  • Reconnect the AC adapter, and then turn on the computer.
