@Daniel1519, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding a persistent orange blinking light!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
I understand you are experiencing an issue with your HP laptop where there is a persistent orange blinking light, and performing a power drain results in the caps lock light flashing briefly before returning to the orange blinking. This likely indicates a problem with the battery or the charging mechanism. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Troubleshooting Steps
Check Battery and Charger:
- Remove the battery (if possible) and disconnect the charger.
- Inspect the battery and charger for any visible damage or irregularities.
Power Drain:
- Disconnect the charger and remove the battery.
- Press and hold the power button for about 15-20 seconds to drain residual power.
- Reconnect only the charger without the battery and try powering on.
Battery Reinstallation:
- If the laptop powered on after connecting only the charger, power it off again.
- Reinstall the battery and check if the issue persists.
Check for Loose Connections:
- Verify that all connections are secure, including the power adapter connection to the laptop.
Test with Different Charger:
- If possible, test with another compatible charger to rule out issues with the current charger.
Inspect Charging Port:
- Check the laptop's charging port for any signs of damage or debris.
Hope this helps!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
