Hi! @bri_is2, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!
I understand light on caps lock are blinking on your PC.
Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?
How many times does the light on the caps lock is blinking?
Have you tried checking with a different adapter?
Please try the steps recommended below.
To perform a hard reset on a computer with a removable battery, use the following steps:
Turn off the computer.
Disconnect 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.
Press and hold down the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors that protect the memory.
Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook computer, 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, then press the Enter key.
After reconnecting each of the peripheral devices, run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.
Refer this article to further troubleshoot computer does not start and emits a LED or beep codes.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Have a great day ahead! 🙂
