I was typing a letter on Word and I left the laptop for a few minutes. When I returned, the laptop went to sleep mode. I hit the return button a few times and the space bar. When the laptop woke up the screen was black with white font.

Hello @Jeanniet1
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Is it OK now ?
If it's still the same, just press and hold the power-on button and hold it for 5-6 seconds until it powers off completely. Wait a second and try to turn it back on . Is it OK eventually ?
