Hi @Nikki195,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Perform a Hard Reset:

  • Disconnect the AC adapter.
  • Remove any peripheral devices (like USB drives).
  • Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds to reset the system.
  • Reconnect the AC adapter (do not connect peripherals yet) and turn on the laptop.

Check the Display:

  • Connect your laptop to an external monitor using an HDMI or VGA cable, depending on available ports, to determine if the issue is with the display or the system itself.
  • Press the F4 key several times to toggle through various display modes to check if the external monitor displays your laptop screen.

Boot into Safe Mode:

  • Turn off the laptop.
  • Turn it on and continually press the F8 key until you see the “Advanced Boot Options” screen.
  • Choose “Safe Mode” and press Enter.
  • In Safe Mode, you can check and update your display drivers.

BIOS Recovery:

  • Press the power button and immediately start tapping the F10 key to access the BIOS.
  • If the BIOS screen appears, your hardware may be fine, and the issue may be software-related. If not, it could indicate a hardware issue.

Reset BIOS Defaults:

  • Access the BIOS by pressing F10 on startup.
  • Reset to factory settings, save changes, and exit.

I hope this helps.
