my laptop is not turning on, light next to the charging pod is orange,not blinking, while the charger is in, after holding a power button the laptop makes kind of a click sound and the light next to the power sign goes white, but there is no other signs of turning on such as sound of a fan or error message. I tried all methods AI assistant suggested, for example hard reset or pressing windows+B method.

@ana514, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Power Issues for HP Laptops!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
It seems your HP laptop is experiencing power-up issues. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:
Step 1: Perform a Hard Reset
- Turn off your computer and unplug the power adapter.
- Remove the battery if it's detachable.
- Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge.
- Reinsert the battery and plug in the power adapter.
- Press the power button to turn on your laptop.
Step 2: Check the Power Adapter and Connections
- Ensure that the power adapter is securely connected to the laptop and to a working electrical outlet.
- Inspect the power cable for any signs of damage. If you have a spare adapter, try using it to rule out a faulty adapter.
Step 3: Use the BIOS Recovery Tool
If your laptop still does not turn on, you can attempt to recover the BIOS:
- Turn off the computer.
- Press and hold the Windows + B keys, then press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds, and release the power button while continuing to hold the Windows + B keys. This can attempt a BIOS recovery.
Step 4: Remove All External Devices
- Disconnect all external devices (printers, USB drives, etc.) from the laptop.
- Try turning on the laptop again.
Hope this helps!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
