@saifu123, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
Since the power button is blinking and there's no charger light, that usually points to one of these problems:

Basic Checks First:

1. Remove External Devices
   • Disconnect USB drives, external monitors, and other accessories.
2. Perform a Hard Reset (try this first)
   • If the battery is non-removable:
     • Unplug the charger.
     • Press and hold the power button for 15-30 seconds.
     • Then, plug in the charger and try turning it on.
   • If the battery is removable:
     • Remove the battery and AC adapter.
     • Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
     • Reconnect the battery and charger, then turn it on.

Check the Charger and Port

• Use a different compatible charger if available.
• Examine the DC-in port for looseness or damage.
• Check the charger’s LED (if present). If it doesn’t light up on any laptop, the charger may be dead.

If Still Not Working: Try These

1. BIOS Recovery Attempt
   • Turn off the laptop.
   • Press and hold the Windows + B keys, then press and hold the Power button for 2-3 seconds.
   • Release the power button but keep holding Windows + B for 10-15 seconds.
   • If BIOS recovery works, you’ll hear beeps or see a screen light up.
2. Inspect for Short Circuits
   • If the laptop stopped working suddenly after a power outage or update, there might be a motherboard or power rail issue.

If Nothing Works...

Given that:

• No charging light shows up
• Power button blinks but no display or fan activity
• It's not responding to hard reset or BIOS recovery

Then you’re likely dealing with:

• Motherboard failure
• Faulty DC-in board or charging circuit
• RAM or other replaceable component error (depending on blink code)

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.

Hello Saifu123. I have recently had a similar issue. The issue with mine was the motherboard was water damaged and fried. I would check around the motherboard for seemingly burnt areas, but this may be a different issue. 

Have a great day!
