If you’re a laptop user, you must have encountered the problem where your laptop just won’t turn on. If you have an HP laptop that refuses to turn on, don’t worry, you’re not alone. This is a common issue that almost every type of laptop user has faced. Thankfully, there are a few things you can do to fix the issue.

The first step is to take the power out and remove the battery. If your laptop has a removable battery, you can easily remove it by finding the catches that release it. Wait for about 30 seconds after removing the battery, then plug it all back in and try turning it on again. If this step doesn’t work, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds, plug it back in and try again.

If you’re still having trouble, there are two more things you can try. First, try pressing and holding the Windows button along with the B button while turning the system on. This should initiate the system diagnostics. If this doesn’t work, you may have to reset the HP BIOS, which is a chip on the inside that tells the computer how to load everything. To reset it, you’ll need to locate the final battery, unplug it, leave it for 30 seconds and plug it back in.

If none of these steps work, it’s time to take your laptop to a reputable computer store. You can also search for good repair people on Google Maps, where you’ll find reviews from satisfied customers.

If you’ve tried any of these steps and they’ve worked for you, let us know in the comments. Also, feel free to share the model of your laptop to help others facing the same issue. Remember, it’s always stressful when you need your laptop the most, and it just won’t turn on. But with these troubleshooting tips, you can get your HP laptop up and running again.
