HP Notebook doesn’t power on at all tried all the suggested tricks.  Can’t use paper clip: there isn’t an area that would allow that, and also does not use a battery please help.

Please provide thew model number. I'm sure there is a battery its likely just internal. Try this procedure for doing a hard reset with an internal battery laptop:

 

  1. Turn off the computer.

  2. Disconnect the AC adapter.

  3. Remove any discs from the disc drive.

  4. Remove memory cards from the card reader slot.

  5. Disconnect all nonessential peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, external hard drives, and USB flash drives.

  6. With the AC adapter unplugged, press and hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds.

  7. Reconnect the AC adapter, and then turn on the computer.

It may be the AC adapter. If its bad the laptop would have run on battery until it was fully depleted and now has no power available at all. Does a light come on next to the socket if you plug in the AC adapter?
