Hi,
Note down the LED/beep signals given by your notebook when you press the power button. [note the battery led light/Wireless button/CapsLock button]
Mention these LED signals here.
For primary troubleshooting follow these simple solutions
>>Hard reset
- Shut down your notebook and remove the battery.
- Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
- After 10-15 seconds reinsert the battery.
- Start your notebook and check if the problem is solved.
>>Bios recovery
- Shut down your notebook.
- While notebook is turned off the press and hold [Windows Button + B].
- While pressing these keys press power button for 3 seconds.
- Release power button after 3 seconds while keep pressing [windows button + B]
- Your notebook will boot into BIOS recovery mode immediately or it will beep 8 times and will take 45 seconds to boot into BIOS recovery mode.
- Do not release [Windows button + B] Until you don't see the BIOS recovery mode on your LED screen.
- Follow on-screen instructions to recover bios.
Good luck

Hi,
If charging indicator blinking 3 times in red/white color when you press power button then it should be a battery or Adapter issue.
Try the following.
- Remove the battery.
- Plug in the charger and see if it starts.
- If it starts it should be a battery problem.
- If it does not start then there should be an adapter issue.
If your notebook isn't starting then try changing the charging adapter.
Good luck.

I've had similar problems, turned out that a power control component on the motherboard was broken. If you still have warranty then let HP do it, in my case a motherboard replacement would have set me back 400 USD, instead I took it to a local repair shop and they instead replaced the component for 80 USD.
