🔴 Fixed! HP Elitebook 850 G5 Notebook - Won't Power on? Whatch this and Get It Fixed Now!

Laptop won't power on. Fixed. HP LAPTOP!
1) The laptop arrived at the office from somebody in the field and as you can see, it would not turn on.
2) I unassembled the bottom panel and began looking around for any loose connectors because I did notice the laptop had been dropped in the top left corner near the power button.
3) After checking all connections I decided to remove the power and disconnect the battery then I reapplied power with the AC adapter. Immediately noticed juice going to all areas of the laptop, the fan kicked on and finally, the laptop turned on.
4) I turned the laptop off, removed AC adapter and plugged the battery back in, at this time I was able to successfully turn the laptop and everything started working like it was supposed to.

I can't say thank you enough, I had this trouble with my work laptop and I would had to travel 400km to go back to my workplace to fix this problem, thankfully your video saved the day! .

[@gircini2272]

100.000 Thanks!!! I had this problem during all this week. As a teacher in homeschooling i am so reliefed that my loved elitebook is now working again. Thanks thanks thanks!

[@theIpatix]

I did not expect that, but I had a similar problem on my G3 and unplugging and replugging the battery actually worked. Thanks!

[@peterboyle6229]

That worked for me, saved me a lot of hassle. Thanks very much.

[@RichardMChamp]

Thanks...this video made my day!!!!

[@Eh-ot4vz]

I owe you numerous beers sir. My brand new work laptop worked perfectly for 3 days then just wouldn't turn on. Unplugging the bettery turned the trick! (Hope I don't have to do this every 3 days, those little screws are fiddly...)

[@kaydenmesser4026]

Any advise on how to get them up I got the whole top row and the out side middle but I can’t get the middle or the bottom corners

[@Taylorsluver13]

I tried this on my boyfriend's work computer that had the same issue and it worked!! Thank you for the video, it helped a lot.

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

Glad it helped!

[@kittuadityavar]

[@ArturWbg]

I just have a new HP Elitebook laptop, surprisingly not able to turn on. The problem seems the same as you said -- it's the battery -- I removed the panel, disconnected the battery connector, plugged in cable charger, it can turn on but displayed something like "it needed battery to continue to power on" on display. It's a good sign. Then I have to connect it while the power is on. I know it's not recommended, but the problem will be same if doing so unplugged. It seems that the computer needs a little power from the battery even with the power cord, which means if the battery is pretty pretty dead, the computer is dead, even the power cord can't even charge it. All in all, it indicates that it's a design detect. Thank you for the video.

[@asherbroadbent9959]

This worked spot on for me.

[@chabanemahrez1991]

Thanks bro it worked perfectly

[@wbafc1231]

That à million. Great. Works like à dream and saved me a 600 km trek to work 👍

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

Great to hear!

[@JohnMcCarthy100]

Thanks! Some extra pointers not clear on the video- after fully loosening not really removing the 8 screws the shell is a challenge to pop up - I started at a corner near the hinge and gradually worked my way around - also the battery connection slides back - not up - note the little side tabs. Its ALIVE!

[@richardinmontreal396]

I use a credit card to pry it open, I start with a thinner card and then slip in a thicker card.

[@samuelissenmann2383]

This helped me a lot On a G6. Thank you !

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

Great to hear!

[@samhightech6519]

thanks mate 🙌

[@primalx1091]

Real man of genius 👏

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

Thank you, hope it helped you.

[@richardinmontreal396]

Just want to add that I have the same HP Elitebook 840G5. Disconnecting the internal battery (plus the CMOS too to be sure) worked, but I had to hold the power button for 1 minute to force a hard reset. Connecting everything worked and it appeared to be fixed. While I could power off and power on the laptop and the battery appeared to discharge and recharge normally, if I left of powered off overnight, the next day it wouldn't power up and I'd have to start the procedure all over again. After extensive tests (ram, SSD, A/C adapter, etc.), the problem seems to be the battery itself. If I leave the internal battery disconnected, CMOS and A/C connected, I can power on/off normally and everything works. It must be something weird in the battery itself.

[@umarmumtazminhas5660]

Thankyou

[@unknown.artist.track3]

thank you

[@OutlawJJ80]

TYVM. I almost bought a new battery.

[@richardinmontreal396]

You still might need a new battery, see my recent comment (Oct 18/21)

[@kt_drul]

Problem is, are we gonna have to keep doing this?

[@amakambonu4722]

It worked . Thanks .

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

You're welcome!

[@ENTrop3]

thanks mate!

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

You're welcome!

[@marosmotycak710]

Also helped me, when I without AC Power (battery must be charge) hold long (1-2minutes) button power. After Hard reset and waitting/ 2 restart and then start HP protective start normally to Windows 10.

[@bestactionmovies5061]

[@BcubeFX]

Hello Bro it's a great work you doing. Well I need your help with something pls, pls can you help me snap a clear picture of the BIOS Chip and the resistors beside it on your HP ELITEBOOK 850 G5 because I'm having some problems with mine and I need the BIOS diagram or picture to use and compare with mine. Thanks a lot and I will await your response.

[@BcubeFX]

My WhatsApp Number is 08077695169

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

I cannot, I no longer have this laptop around!

[@MichaelOkey-v1y]

Mine isn’t showing any light at all

[@amelanso]

have an elitbook 840g2 - power button on fritz - machine will not run unless you keep pressure on the power button (let go it shuts down, keep pressure it runs as normal) - I assume button board is bad. you think replace board is proper fix?

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

I cant answer that specifically, but things do break, and if you can, try replacing the board I suppose to see if ti works. Hope it's not too expensive.

[@iamagi]

I have no indication of power at all, also my battery has expanded. I have a multimeter but the skills

[@ianprobert7498]

Tried everything in your video.. but no results :/... continues flashing when I plug it in but only illuminates the orange light where the charging port is.. again flashing... any suggestions

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

What happened?

[@codenamegamer3750]

you could also press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, that should reset it.

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

Tried that, even tried holding it for 30 seconds to a minute

[@abrahammaloba1476]

thanks alot

[@benking2078]

Cat spilled water over the keyboard and laptop immediatly turned off. Since then, the same issue like here. Cant power on. When pluged in, blinking a few times red and white, caps lock a long white blink, and then the same orange led lights up. But, i have no Battery inside. Any ideas? I hope its not shorten...

[@richardinmontreal396]

I had this happen to clients a few times. I opened the case, disconnected the battery (and CMOS) took out the SSD to recover the data and left it to dry up for 4 months (I got busy). Then I connected everything and it powered up. I will have to change the battery (see my Oct 18/21 comment).

[@MajorNoumanGaming]

When i pluged in charger or connect battery in HP elitebook 840 g5 only caplock and wifi button blink and it don’t turn on what should i do plz help

[@double8tz]

Hold power button for a min, fixed a problem for me

[@ragingpahadi]

Thanks . But why it happens ? What is root cause of it

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

Not sure what the root cause is, I have a feeling the bios needs to be updated, I wish i had a better answer, but I've only seen this once

[@ragingpahadi]

@@OffTrekIncorporated Same here ! i faced it one time and your video saved me few bucks :D

[@LewisPhot]

@@OffTrekIncorporated working in a hospital with these everywhere i see it almost daily on multiple HP models, holding the power button for 30 seconds also sorts it! latest bios and everything just HP being HP

[@caridepp27]

Mine won't even show it's charging! I have a lightening cable that connects it to a router, and 2 different chargers. No indication light at all and it won't turn on

[@OffTrekIncorporated]

sometimes when a battery is 100% dead or shorted out on the inside of the battery, the charger sometimes wont work, have you tried other chargers as well?

[@WaqarAhmed-00]

​@@OffTrekIncorporatedbro I have same laptop. not changing now I use 1 hour ago. Its okay but I put in charging in 1 hour ago the not on my laptop or not showing light? what problem will happened

[@bohs2000]

Case opened, plugged in, bare hands... seems, like a bad idea..

[@kapurjangthapa2012]

Thank you so much, it worked. :):)
