Hi @johnnytack,

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums.

As I understand the computer is powering on, however, doesn't have a display on the screen anymore,

Don't worry as I have a few steps to help you get through this concern,

Please attempt the below steps:

Let's start by performing a Hard reset on the notebook: A power reset (or hard restart) clears all information from the computer's memory without erasing any personal data. Performing a power reset might fix conditions such as Windows not responding, a blank display, software freezing, keyboard stops responding, or other external devices locking up.

Connecting an external monitor to test the display

Attempt a Bios Recovery

Run the system diagnostics test as well as extensive test on the Hard drive and Memory from F2 (Please remember to capture the failure ID for further assistance).
