Earlier today my screen went black and I dont know how to fix it. The laptop is on the blue light is on which means the laptop is on. The caps lock light also flashes when I press it.
I can't take off the battery so I just left it on until the battery dies and then I'll charge it and see if something happens. It's been staying for 4 hours and the battery is not giving up. Please help me fix it.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
Let's try these steps -
Hard Reset:
1) Shutdown the computer.
2) Unplug all the Adapter and peripherals connected.
3) Remove the Battery. ( not for Built-in Battery computer )
4) Press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds.
5) Plug-in the Adapter and put the Battery back into the computer if it's a (removable battery)
6) Try to turn on the computer and check, If the blank screen issue is resolved, continue next step
Set BIOS default and restart:
- Restart your notebook.
- During startup, press F10 repeatedly until the BIOS menu is displayed.
- Once the BIOS menu is displayed, press F9 to restore factory defaults.
- Select Yes to confirm.
- Press F10 to save changes and exit.
- Select Yes to confirm.
- The computer restarts using the default settings.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
