I have a hp 840 elite book. It's refurbished, couldn't tell you what year it is, ( the laptop I mean) but I got it in 2019. I have replaced the battery twice, the first time because it wasn't charging and retaining the charge, the second time being I couldn't take the charger off the laptop or it wouldn't stay on. My charging habits probably didn't help ( removing the charger when it wasn't completely charged, leaving it to charge over night, short charging, ect ect).
Recently however, I can't turn it on period. I can't get a loading screen to see if I need to charge it or see what's wrong eternally. The little lights on the edges of the keyboard flash blue and orange, not settling on one color, my caps lock light won't turn off no matter how many times I press the button, the sound and wireless buttons flash and I can't turn those off, my and are on high and turn off then on and the power button glows like it's trying to turn on but then stops. Then tries again an stops.
I have taken out the battery, plugged in my computer to charge, nothing. Took out the memory, nothing. Took out the hardware. Nothing. Googled the problem, seems like people have had this issue before, same symptoms with the same hp elite book. Problem was with the power supply, aka new charger. Went out, got one for 40 bucks, made sure it was the one I needed and plugged it into my computer. Worked for a bit, the flickering stopped long enough I thought everything was solved and attempted to turn my computer again only for it to flicker and not turn on.
I am so lost. What should I do?
