Hi
my laptop is hp omen 16
I5 13800
GPU 4050
for some reason, i removed the battery and after that, I put it on again
now i want to turn on my laptop...when i press the power button, powers light is on and the caps lock light starts to blink (3 long, 3 short)
i try it again by holding the (b or v and win key) on my keyboard and pressing power, in this time caps look light doesn't on...just the powers light is on and after a while, there is no change
I'm so sad what happened and what should i do??
i turned it off and after 30 minutes turned on again after 40 seconds finally, I saw my bios is raised up and Windows get started

Hi @michaelart,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It seems like your HP Omen 16 is exhibiting a specific blink code when you try to power it on. The 3 long, 3 short blink code on the Caps Lock LED typically indicates a memory issue. This could be caused by a variety of factors, including a loose memory module or a failure in the memory module itself.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue.
Re-seat the Memory Modules:
- Turn off the laptop and disconnect the power adapter.
- Remove the back cover to access the memory modules.
- Carefully re-seat the memory modules by removing them and then placing them back in their slots securely.
Try with One Memory Module:
- If your laptop has multiple memory modules, try using just one at a time. This can help identify if one of the modules is faulty.
Check for Loose Connections:
- Make sure all other internal connections, such as hard drive and other peripherals, are securely connected.
Perform a Hard Reset:
- Turn off the laptop.
- Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
- Hold down the power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual power.
- Reconnect the battery and power adapter, then try turning on the laptop.
Update BIOS:
- If you manage to boot into Windows, consider updating the BIOS to the latest version provided by HP. This can often resolve compatibility issues.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
