I checked the charger port, it seems fine. None of the connections are loose or anything. I also looked at this before I came here. I'm assuming its the motherboard?

Edit: Also checked, im using a 90W power cable thing, it should be fine right?

yes it fine so i guess it needs a new mobo

Friend gave me a laptop because it was broken

I'm 16, sorta new to working on laptops (mostly worked on desktops my life)

 

Wouldn't turn on, opened it up.

 

Saw flashing power LED

 

Played with it

 

Got fans to spin?

 

Super quiet ticking sound when it blinks

 

Video included.

 

 

Thank you

HP LED blinking will indicate the error

 

observe the number of time the LED blinks

 

then look u for HP notebook error codes

check this

 

most suspect power supply board or the mobo has failed
