HP Omen 15-ax280nd: Why won't my hp omen laptop not turn on?

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 08:15:44 -0700

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.

HP Omen 15-ax280nd: USB port on one side not working -RESOLVED

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 23:36:01 -0700

I have a hp omen 15 ce00x and I took off the back cover and disconnected the battery and screws holding down the fans i lost one of these screws in the case i couldn't shake it out but after I took the fan out entirely it came out. After this I reassembled the laptop and now 2 out of my 3 ports aren't working I have tried uninstalling the devises and restarting and scanning for hardware and checking for blockage and none of this has worked. It is connected to my motherboard by a white film which goes underneath the fan housing. I have no clue on what the fix might be if anyone could help thank you very much.

My Omen 15, the sound was disabled. Eventually the (actual hp help file) directed me to a 3rd party URL. A Rootkit was installed. Can i clean/sanitize possibly Reformat from a Clean System?

Thanks.

HP Omen 15-ax280nd: Screen not displaying despite backlight being active.

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 22:27:51 -0700

So I've had my laptop for a while now and today has been the first time this has happened, which is rather worrying for me.

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?

HP Omen 15-ax280nd: HP OMEN 15-ax008ns turning off immediately

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 11:45:42 -0700

I got a HP Omen 15-ax008ns that turns on for 1 second and then turns off again. The power button lights up really quick and you can hear the HDD click once or twice and then it turns off. The fans do not spin at all.

I got the laptop for free and Im trying to restore it. Charger is new and the battery and the power connector cable have been tested and work correctly. I’ve bought new RAM and tried multiple HDD, and still it just ‘‘turns on’’ real quick and then off again.

I’ve inspected the motherboard and I can’t find anything suspicious or burned chips anywhere, so now I’m stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
