Hi @Sakeeb-Nazar1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Beeping sounds when turning on an HP laptop usually indicate a hardware issue, and the pattern of the beeps (number and length) can help identify the problem. Here's how to troubleshoot it:

What You Can Do

1. Count the Beeps

  • Listen carefully and note the number and pattern (e.g., 3 long beeps, pause, repeat).
  • This helps identify the exact issue.


2. Basic Reset

  • Turn off the laptop.
  • Unplug the power adapter and remove the battery (if removable).
  • Hold the power button for 15 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power and try turning it on again.


3. Check RAM (if beep code points to memory)

  • If you're comfortable opening the laptop:
    • Remove and reseat the RAM modules.
    • Try booting with one RAM stick at a time (if there are two).


4. External Monitor Test (if graphics issue)

  • Connect the laptop to an external monitor to check if the display is the issue.

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
