A black screen on your HP laptop can be frustrating, especially when you’re unsure what’s causing the issue. This common problem can result from hardware malfunctions, software conflicts, or even something as simple as a loose connection. Below are practical troubleshooting tips to help you identify and resolve the issue.
1. Check the Power Supply and Battery
Start by ensuring the laptop is receiving power. Plug in the charger and look for the charging light indicator. If the light doesn’t come on, try a different power outlet or charger. If your laptop battery is removable, take it out, hold the power button for 15-20 seconds to drain residual power, then plug in the charger without the battery and try turning it on.

2. Perform a Hard Reset
A hard reset can clear temporary configurations that may be causing the black screen. To do this:
-
Turn off the laptop.
-
Disconnect all peripherals (USB drives, printers, external monitors, etc.).
-
Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds.
-
Reconnect the power cable (and battery, if applicable), then power it on.
3. Check the Display Brightness and External Displays
Sometimes, the issue is simply a dimmed screen. Try adjusting the brightness using the function keys (usually F2 or F3). If you're using an external monitor or the display was previously set to it, press the F4 key (or the key with the monitor icon) to toggle between screen outputs.
4. Boot into Safe Mode
If the screen remains black but the laptop powers on (you can hear fans or drive activity), try booting into Safe Mode:
-
Turn the laptop off.
-
Turn it back on and immediately start pressing the F8 or Shift + F8 key repeatedly.
-
If successful, select Safe Mode with Networking.
This mode loads only essential drivers and can help determine if a recent software update or driver is causing the issue.

5. Reset the BIOS
A corrupted BIOS can also result in a black screen. To reset the BIOS:
-
Power off the laptop.
-
Press and hold Windows + B keys simultaneously, then press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds.
-
Release all keys and wait for the BIOS recovery screen to appear.
6. Update or Reinstall Graphics Drivers
If you suspect the issue is with the display adapter, try updating or reinstalling the graphics driver from Device Manager in Safe Mode. Right-click the display adapter, choose Uninstall, and then restart the laptop. Windows will reinstall the driver automatically.
7. Perform a System Restore
If the black screen began after a recent update or installation, performing a system restore can revert your system to a working state. Access System Restore through the Windows Recovery Environment (press F11 during startup) and follow the prompts.

8. Seek Professional Help
If none of the above steps work, it may be a hardware issue—such as a faulty screen, motherboard, or RAM. In this case, it’s best to contact HP support or visit a certified technician.
Final Thoughts
A black screen doesn’t always mean your HP laptop is beyond repair. With methodical troubleshooting, you can often resolve the issue yourself. Start with the simplest solutions and gradually move toward more advanced fixes. If in doubt, professional assistance is your safest bet.
