I have a HP laptop.
That won't turn on. If i plug it in charging indicator first glows white & then it turns orange. But no matter how many times i press power button it won't turn on. I tried almost every suggestion on the internet related to the topic like removing bettery and pressing power button for 30sec or 1min, but it wont work.
.
And i think it is related to BIOS in some way because last time i was trying to boot off of a usb drive that didn't boot properly so i power forced it off. After that it never switched on.
.
Btw some people might assume that it just doesn't showthe screen but it doesn't power on at all because its power button is a led indicator that doesn't glow when i try to power it on.
