@Looc25, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
The blinking power light on your HP laptop suggests the computer is in the Sleep state, a power-saving mode where the display and other unnecessary components are off. However, if the laptop is not turning on properly, there may be a few actions you can take to resolve the issue:
Check Power Source:
- Ensure the AC adapter is connected properly to both the laptop and the power outlet.
- Verify the outlet is working by connecting another device.
Battery Check:
- If using the battery, check if it's charged or try removing and reinserting it.
- Consider connecting the laptop directly to the power source without the battery to check the issue.
Perform a Hard Reset:
- Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery (if removable).
- Press and hold the power button for about 10-15 seconds.
- Reconnect the battery and power adapter, then attempt to turn on the laptop.
Check Peripheral Devices:
- Disconnect any external devices (such as USBs or external monitors) that might interfere with the boot process.
I hope this helps.
