Laptop won't boot up, power light and charging light flash
Текст:
Hello, first question here.
I recently acquired a HP notebook, model number 15S-FQ2038NA. The previous owner had removed the factory ram and supplied no charger, so I fitted a new stick of compatible ram and acquired a replacement charger.
After letting it charge for about an hour, I tried firing the system up on mains power. The power indicator light on the right hand side flashes white and stays so for about three seconds, before turning off for another three. When plugged into the mains, the charging indicator light on the left hand side flashes white for a moment, then orange, then switches off over a period of about six seconds. There are no flashing lights on the keyboard.
Having followed a few tutorials, I have tried a number of power reset options, both based on those on HP's website for similar models and various YouTube videos. I also removed the battery, and even without the battery and plugged into mains power, the system does not power on and displays similar lights, which would suggest to me that the battery is fine and isn't the issue.
Does anybody happen to have any suggestions as to what to try next?

EDIT: Following numerous questions about the lights visible, I decided to capture some footage of them and add them here as GIFs since it's easier to show than it is to explain.
