My HP laptop isn’t working well.
It needs to be pressed repeatedly—about 30 minutes of continuous pressing (1–3 minutes each time)—before it finally turns on. Once it starts, I can use it for a while, but then the screen goes dark and blinks. After that, no keys respond, so I have to shut it down by holding the power button. When I try to restart, it doesn’t work at all. Sometimes it powers back up after a few days if I keep pressing the button. Recently, when I lifted the laptop slightly while using it, the screen went black again and blinked. Now it won’t turn on, even after holding the power button for about 5 minutes. What might be wrong and how can I fix it?

Hello there! Could you share the model and SKU of your HP laptop? How long has it been in use? Did the battery ever need replacing during its time with you?

Take off the laptop from the wall, take apart the device, remove the internal battery, press and keep the power button pressed for 30 seconds, then attempt to restart the laptop using just the power brick.

Hello thanks !!!
I visited a laptop repair shop. The staff advised me not to hold it close to the air holes or the hand placement, as this thin laptop is causing the issue!!!
