Having power and screen issues with my daughters notebook

R73B · ‎12-11-2022

Product name is Pavilion x360 14 inch convertible notebook and # 1F4W6UAHABA

Power light just blinks on and off, no fan noise and black screen. I've contacted HP and of course the warranty has expired, so I turned to YouTube and I still can't seem to get it working. Please help!!

If it is a double blink it is likely to mean that the BIOS ROM file is corrupt.

Try restoring the BIOS from an off state.

Connect the power adapter

Hold down the Windows key and the B key at the same time
While holding the two keys down, press the power button once
Keep holding the keys down and wait for at least a minut to see if there is an onscreen message that says Recovering the BIOS.

At that point you can release the keys and wait until the BIOS restoration is complete.

You could also download the BIOS file from the driversa dnsoftweare download section of the support portal from your notebook.

You will need a USB flash drive of between 4-32GB to make a recovery flash drive that you can boot to to recover the BIOS.

I would have provided a link to the support portal, but I am unable to identify your notebook with the 1F4W6UAHABA you provided as identification.

How about providing the product name in your next repoly to your thread.
