Hello there
I have a laptop HP 620 is not lit up at all just the charger's LED flashes eight times, that's all.
Sometimes the power button light is also lit up but only for a second and turns off.
Screen and the cooling fan will not turn on at all.
If anyone knows what to say to the 8 flashes, or can give me a link to the guide tell what the flashes say
Thank you very much
(Sorry for the harsh language ..) :-).

Your description "almost" matches the description that is meant to tell you what is wrong.
Take a look and see if you can decipher what your notebook is trying to tell you:
HP Notebook PCs - Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code
The Power Reset, also known as a Forced or Hard Reset is one of the first options mentioned in the Help Guide.
===================================================================
The Hard Reset:
This method works for a variety of Driver connection and ‘stuck’ program issues.
- Shut down the computer
- Disconnect all external devices - everything.
- Remove (disconnect / unplug) the AC power
- If the notebook contains a removable Battery, remove it
- Press and hold power button for at least 30 seconds
- Reinstall the battery,
- Reconnect the AC power cord
- Power on - Log in
Reference:
Notebooks- Forced Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues- Sealed Non-Removable Battery
OR
Notebooks - Use Hard Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues - Removable Battery
===================================================================
Good Luck!
