The HP Pavilon notebook does not turn on, the charger light is on, if I press the power button, the light turns on, but it does not make any noise, nor does the screen turn on.

Hi @Cecibarlett ,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be glad to help you!
It sounds incredibly frustrating to have your laptop show signs of power but not fully turn on. Let's figure out what could be causing this together—I know how important it is to get it working again.
CAUTION: If your computer does not turn on, wait at least 5 minutes before troubleshooting the computer. Your computer might be installing an update for Windows or the BIOS or detecting new hardware. During this update process, you can expect the screen to be blank for several minutes. It might damage the computer if this process is interrupted. Do not turn off or unplug the computer during the update process.
Remove discs and devices and perform a hard reset
To determine whether you need to contact HP or troubleshoot startup issues, perform a hard reset.
Note: A hard reset does not affect data saved on your computer.
- Turn off the computer.
- Disconnect the AC adapter.
- Remove any discs from the disc drive.
- Remove memory cards from the card reader slot.
- Disconnect all nonessential devices such as printers, scanners, external hard drives, and USB flash drives.
Note: Do not disconnect your mouse, keyboard, or monitor.
- With the AC adapter unplugged, press and hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds.
Reconnect the AC adapter, and then turn on the computer.
Note: Be sure that you use the AC adapter that was shipped with the computer.
