Hi @Luxky
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.
A black screen with no visible damage but with the laptop still making processing sounds suggests a display issue. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:
1. Perform a Hard Reset
- Turn off the laptop.
- Disconnect all external devices (USB drives, docking stations, etc.).
- Unplug the power adapter.
- Press and hold the power button for 15-30 seconds to drain residual power.
- Reconnect the power adapter and turn the laptop on.
2. Check Display Brightness
- Some HP laptops allow brightness adjustments via function keys.
- Try pressing Fn + F3 or Fn + F4 to increase brightness.
3. Connect to an External Monitor
- Plug in an external monitor via HDMI or USB-C.
- If the external display works, the issue may be with the laptop’s screen or internal connections.
4. Try a Key Command to Refresh the Display
- Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to see if the Task Manager appears.
- If it does, restart the laptop from there.
5. Perform a BIOS Recovery
- Turn off the laptop.
- Press and hold Windows + B, then press the power button while holding the keys.
- Keep holding until you hear beeping or see the BIOS recovery screen.
6. Re-seat the RAM (if comfortable doing so)
- Power off the laptop.
- Open the back panel and remove the RAM sticks.
- Reinsert them securely and restart the laptop.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, the problem may be hardware-related, such as a faulty display or GPU. Let me know if you need further assistance!
