Hey there! @MiaAnt, Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Forums!
I understand you have display issues with your laptop.
Don't worry I'll try to help you out.
Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?
Does the issue persist in BIOS?
As you mentioned you see three purple dots on the screen of your laptop.
If the issue does not persist in BIOS try updating the graphics driver and BIOS on your PC.
First Uninstall the graphics driver from device manager and install the latest graphics drivers and BIOS from the links below.
Update the graphics driver using this link.
Also, update the BIOS using this link.
You can try updating the drivers on your PC using HP support assistant.
Refer this article to know more information about using HP support assistant.

If the issue still persists in BIOS. It is certainly a hardware issue with the display on your laptop, please contact HP support for service options.

Hello Mr Robot, I updates the Graphics Driver and nothing happened. the same problem persisted. I have not made any change in my software or hardware on my laptop. I can see the dots all the time as long as there is a dark background.
