My laptop had been working completely fine, and i left it to sleep while i was out for a few hours. I came back and it would not turn on at all depsite being on charge. There were no fan noises or charger lights etc. I have tried using a different charger for this laptop and this was not the issue. It has not been dropped or had any liquid damage.

Hey there! @Ellie-Lacy,
Do you see any blinking lights on the caps lock or num lock key on the PC?
It certainly sounds like a hardware issue with the laptop. However, please try the steps recommended below and check if it helps.
Check if the pin inside the DC (Charging) port is bent or broken.
Please try the steps recommended below.
To perform a power reset on a laptop with a removable battery, use the following steps:
Turn off the computer.
Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station.
Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
With the battery and power cord unplugged, press and hold the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors.
Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the laptop, but do not connect any of the peripheral devices.
Press the Power button to turn on the computer.
If a startup menu opens, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, and then press the Enter key.
After Windows opens, reconnect each peripheral device that was disconnected, one device at a time, until all devices are reconnected.
Your laptop has been reset. After a power reset, it is a good idea to run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.
