Replaced the battery of my 2019 bought new Omen 15-dc1007na as cells badly swollen but puzzled the battery screws from new just sit in holes and do not screw in, they are 2 mm screw thread length and 1.6 mm thread OD by micrometer.

Are they an M size, if so what is the spec required as the range differ by only 0.2 mm. The back plate screws look to be 2 mm OD.

Thanks
David

It's not that it just won't turn on, the charging light (the little LED near the power plug in HP laptops) doesn't even light up. I've tried a new AC-IN plug and that didn't make a difference.

I have a 200W HP-brand power adapter, which gives out the appropriate juice.

What else, down the line, could've failed and how do I test it?

My laptop screen was working just fine as I was online, but in the middle of my game it's suddenly cut out and gone to a black screen. The back light for the screen still is working and the laptop itself seems to be running fine, but aside from that it's just a blank screen which doesn't even display my mouse.

I've tried most of the software things I can think of like a hard reset, but it hasn't sorted things out and I don't know why this is happening. Could it be a hardware thing?

I did try to boot off a usb flash drive with Ubuntu on it and it actually shut down even after some mild usage but i can't tell if it's consistent or not.

All my drivers are up to date including Bios. I dont know if this is a hardware issue or windows issue because other than not shutting down properly, the laptop works and performs well. It is also worth mentioning that this issue arrises after the machine has done some sort of load. For example, when i open the laptop just for watching youtube, there's a high chance it will shut down normally (though it happened to also not completely shut down even after doing menial task on it for the duration of runtime), but when i try to play a game the laptop gets hot and loud and if i try to shut it down it will fail most of the time.

my specs are:
-Intel Core I5 8300H
-Nvidia RTX 2060
-16gb of RAM (i added a mismatched frequency 8gb stick but my problem was already present way before this 'upgrade')

This is what I tried:

• Cleansed and reapplied the paste on CPU and GPU
• Removed RAM modules, switched their positions, tried one by one
• Disconnected the screen ribbon cable and reconnected it
• Tried a lot of arcane shortcuts such as powering up while pressing Win + B, Win + V, ESC, F2, F10
• Removed the Wifi card, the SSD and HDD
• Removed the battery, pressed the power button for 60 seconds
• Removed the battery, pressed the power button for 60 seconds and let the laptop sit like that for a couple of hours

I tried all of these things at least twice. Nothing worked. This is the behavior I'm seeing:

1- Without SSD/HDD

It turns on (no screen), and does nothing until I turn it off

2- With SSD/HDD

I turn it on, it immediately turns off. Then it turns on by itself for about 6-10 seconds, then off. Finally, it turns on and remains on until I turn it off. When this happens, I can see the HDD led blinking as if there's activity happening at random intervals, much like when Windows is loading. Fans also spin at regular intervals.

I'd like to know if this is officially dead or there's something else I can try. I should mention there's no CMOS battery and the CPU and GPU are embedded, also the CPU doesn't have an integrated GPU. And yes, I know I might have f****d it up because I didn't remove the battery. However, it's also a long shot that this would've unequivocally fried the mobo. So it'd be great to explore all possibilities.

At first it was working fine, i usually played heavy games on it, i faced no issue.

I turned it on some morning (about 2 years ago) and it just booted normally and after sometime the screen started flickering and it shutdown. It wasn't overheated or spilled with water or anything, it just suddenly stopped.

I've tried many guides by replacing the ram, removing the battery, changing the hard drive everything

Keeping in mind

1) It's power supply is perfect

2) It's ram was new

3) Hard drive was working correctly

The thing is if I try to start it the power light turns on and stays on but the screen remains blank, I don't hear the fans spinning and the keyboard doesn't light up.

I'm suspecting that it's a power issue as the motherboard doesn't receive power but at one side the usb port is working but on the main side where there are 2 usb ports, hdmi, and power port is not working (power port does receive power)

This has been ging on for a few days and I haven't really taken it anywhere for repairing because the people in my country are not very skilled and it's just a big risk.

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.
