HP laptop doesnt turn on.

Hi I am facing issue with my HP laptop. The laptop doesn't power on. When I press the power button the light blinks and goes off immediately without turning on the laptop. I tried reseating the Ram, Keyboard and hard reset. But unable to figure it out. Can you help me with this issue please?

NOTE: Yes, I know some batteries are not so easy to get to, on some devices. However, it should be removable/replaceable. Unless it is under warranty, then you should contact the manufacturer first.


Try the following and see if it will turn on...

1. Unplug your charger cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds.
4. Now plug back in the power/charger cord.
5. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop. You may also want to try charging it when the device is off, rather than on. If it works then, the cord is probably the issue.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.

Well it’s not a battery problem. I managed to fix it! It was dust inside which was blocking the fan. I cleaned the area and checked by powering it. It worked and the display comes too. Thank you for the reply and your attempt to help me.

Well glad you got it sorted. Better that than something that could be a large cost.
