HP not powering on.

[apcnoob]

This is not the same laptop I mentioned in the previous post.

So I was using an HP-15-d005TUA and i abruptly took out the power cord accidently.

Then after I tried to power it on this sequence of flashes came up on the keyboard with nothing on the screen.

3 short Network LED flashes with ~3 second intervals between them.

1 short Caps Lock LED flash on the 3rd Network LED Flash

then a continuous Network LED illuminates while the caps lock LED long flashed with ~2 second intervals between them.

Hi @apcnoob,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

It seems like your HP laptop is experiencing a hardware issue related to the power or motherboard. The sequence of flashes you described is a diagnostic LED error code, which indicates a problem with your system. Here's how to interpret the lights.

• 3 short Network LED flashes: This typically indicates a system board failure, possibly related to the motherboard or RAM.
• 1 short Caps Lock LED flash on the 3rd Network LED Flash: This might be an indication of a memory issue or failure.
• Continuous Network LED with Caps Lock flashing at ~2-second intervals: This usually points to a critical error in the motherboard or system board, which could require professional repair.

Steps to Try:

Perform a Hard Reset:

• Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery (if possible).
• Hold down the power button for 15-20 seconds to drain any residual power.
• Reconnect the power adapter (without the battery) and try turning on the laptop again.

Reseat the RAM:

• If you're comfortable doing so, reseat the RAM modules (remove and reinstall them). This can sometimes resolve issues related to memory or motherboard errors.

Check for any Loose Connections:

• Ensure that no internal components were displaced when you accidentally removed the power cord.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
