Hi @Richard50991,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding HP Laptop 14-cf2111wm not starting!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

Perform a Hard Reset:

1. Turn off the computer by holding down the power button for at least 15 seconds.
2. Unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery (if removable).
3. Press and hold the power button for another 15 seconds to drain residual power from the capacitors.
4. Reinsert the battery (if applicable) and reconnect the AC adapter.
5. Try turning on the computer.

Check the Power Supply:

1. Make sure the AC power adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and the power outlet.
2. Verify the power adapter's LED indicator (if available) is lit.
3. If the adapter's LED isn't lit, try a different power outlet.
4. If you can, test with another power adapter that you know works.

Test the Power Button:

• Press the power button multiple times or hold it down for several seconds to see if the laptop responds.

Inspect for Physical Damage:

• Ensure the power adapter, cable, and laptop charging port don't have visible damage.

Remove External Devices:

• Disconnect any external devices such as USB drives, peripherals, and memory cards as they might be causing interference.

Check Battery Connections:

1. If the battery is removable, take it out and reinsert it properly.
2. Ensure the battery contacts are clean and free of debris.

Check for LED Indicators:

• Look for any LED indicators on the laptop when the power button is pressed. If none are lit, it could indicate a power issue.

Reset BIOS Settings:

1. If the laptop starts briefly but doesn't stay on, try accessing the BIOS settings.
2. During startup, press Esc or F10 to enter BIOS.
3. Reset BIOS settings to default values.

Check for Internal Faults:

• If the laptop shows signs of starting (such as fan noise or LED lights) but doesn't fully turn on, there could be a fault with internal components.
• It might be necessary to contact a professional technician.

I hope this helps.
