HP EliteBook i5 8th Gen won’t turn on, USB-C charging not recognized,
Hello, I have an HP EliteBook i5 8th Gen (model 850 G5) and I’m facing a problem:
- The laptop suddenly shut down after normal use and now it won’t turn on at all.
- USB-C charging LED does not light up at all when plugged in.
- When I press and hold the power button for 20–30 seconds (Power Reset), I see intermittent white and yellow LED blinking, then nothing happens.
- I have confirmed that the charger is 100% working and original.
- I have tried cleaning the USB-C port gently and left it on the charger for 10–15 minutes, but still no response.
Has anyone faced the same issue? Could it be the USB-C port, the battery, or the motherboard/power circuitry? Any advice on what to try before taking it for professional repair would be greatly appr
eciated!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
