Laptop won't start but the power light blinks in intervals of about 2 seconds

[Jeth1]

After using my HP notebook last night I turned it of properly. But when I tried to turn it on this morning, it won't start, only the power light keeps blinking in intervals of about 2 seconds. I tried to remove the battery and just connected the charger, but the problem persisted. I disconnected the charger, connected it but didn't press the power button until after around 20 minutes but still still won't start, jus the power light keeps blinking but no movement from the hard drive, and the DVD won't open. Please help because I just bought this computer

@Jeth1 Have you attempted to connect the device to an alternate power cord or adapter?

Or check with another wall outlet, excluding any surge protectors to check if it works?

Alright, here's the best way to revive the laptop, using the HP Guided Troubleshooter:

Let's start with a hard reset of your notebook computer before you try any other troubleshooting steps.

Reasons for a hard reset

A hard reset has the following effects:

• Reestablishes the connection between the BIOS and the hardware

The following conditions can be helped by the hard reset:

• Windows stop responding.

• The display suddenly goes blank.

• The computer does not wake from sleep or hibernate modes.

• Software applications freeze or fail to respond.

Thanks for the assistance but unfortunately the none of the instructions worked. I have tried them all, over and over again but nothing worked. The computer can't start but the power light keeps blinking no movement from the hard drive and the writer can't open. Am now frustrated.
