@5CD3148NWN, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand how frustrating it can be when your laptop won’t power on. Let’s try a few steps to isolate and resolve the issue.
Perform a Hard Reset (Power Drain)
This helps clear any residual electrical charge that might be preventing the laptop from starting.
- Disconnect the AC adapter and remove any external devices (USB drives, peripherals).
- Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
- Reconnect the charger (without pressing the power button yet).
- Now, press the power button once and check if the laptop turns on.
Check the AC Adapter and Charging Port
- Ensure the charger is working. If possible, test with a known working HP adapter.
- Inspect the charging port for any dust, damage, or looseness.
- When you plug in the charger, the charging LED should stay solid. If it blinks and turns off when pressing the power button, it could indicate a hardware fault.
Try a BIOS Recovery (if applicable)
Sometimes the BIOS may become corrupted and prevent startup.
- Turn off the laptop.
- Press and hold the Windows + B keys, then press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds.
- Release the power button but continue holding Windows + B for another 10 seconds.
- If the BIOS recovery screen appears, follow the on-screen instructions.
If the issue persists, please visit the nearest HP authorized service center, the service team will check and assist you.
