When you plug a charger to the light and press power it will not even respond at all
This is ProBook know them and elitebooks well, they are my favorite, as for 2 things, last for ever, and rugged.
and HP documents on this are FABULOUS GRADE and DEEP
202 page service manual at hp.com for your PC.
a 2009 PC.
is the FAN DEAD inside>? I BET yES. (This is first thing to know)
that charger is really just a raw DC power pack
120vac (usa) to 19vdc raw DC power.
the charging magic (a chip) is inside the PC. a key fact to know.
forget silly/ lame LED lights. they get confused at drop of hat. ok?
1`: remove the big battery off bottom of PC, (easy no?)
2: run on the 19v battery pack alone, even forever is allowed. hint.
3: does PC run ok now? yes/no......
4: yes, then the RTC coin cell battery is dead, non go 10 years sorry, not going to happen ever, if marginal it FAILS NEXT., ok.
5: new RTC battery, AC only we next go in to bios. page 96 in the manual covers this.
6: does bios work now? power on and hit esc , over and over
page 116 in the service manual covers how to reach BIOS.
ESC then F10 (hammered at power on act)
if the fan is dead BIOS will be too most times.
if he fan is packed in lint as all are this old then the PC overheats.
all do that, this old. everyone not parked for 10 years as a hanger queen.
that is just 1/2 the story fixing ANY laptop really.
we can go to phase II , next , testing the HDD,
or cleaning out the junk here. LINT
see that radiator, oops. big trouble that.

Maryar,
The tray may have got stuck. It happens. What you can do is look for a small hole on the face of the drive, either on the tray front or just below it. Insert a paper pin through it. The pin will press a lever which will open the tray. If you do it a few times the tray may get unstuck finally. Hopefully.
SOURCE: Hp probook 4510s power button blinking won't start
maybe out of power and the dc jack is broken take the battery out and if the light dose not flash then go chance its the dc jack.
if with out battery still blinks then there's a short on mother board and or video card is bad. but some times taking out that battery will reset the m/b and get it to work if you are lucky
SOURCE: I press the on switch on my probook 4510s it
I'm inclined to think that there is an issue with the motherboard, however, you can try removing the hard drive and rebooting to see if that is causing the problem, then removing one ram module and seeing if that helps, both should be easily acessible.
Failing that, I'm afraid that a strip down and cleaning of the heatsink and checking for obvious damage is the only way, look for blown or bulging capacitors as a first indicator

When you plug in the power cord is there any lights
whatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of the
power cord?
When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,
lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear the
DvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for a
second or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, but
the screen is not showing for some reason.
Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with the
laptop and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issue
when you hear beeps or blinking lights continuous. Most times the problem
is with the memory or Video Card. Count the Blinking Lights or Beeps and take
note of their pattern (1 Long or 1 Long followed by 2 Short).
Maybe your power cord is bad if you don't get anything to happen whatsoever
when you press the power button. And if that's true maybe you was
operating off the battery the last time you had it on and since the power cord
is bad, it was not charging the battery so the battery is drained and the power
cord is bad.
Maybe you have a Static Charge Buildup. Remove the Power Cord, Remove the
Battery, then Press and Hold the power button for 30
seconds. After 30 seconds plug the power cord back in (leave the battery
out) and hit the power button to see if it boots. If it does, you can put
the battery back in and let it charge.
Maybe your DC Power Jack which is where the power cord plugs
into the computer is bad. Take an ink pen and push the tip inside the
jack and see if the little pin wiggles, if so the jack is bad. You'll have to
take the laptop apart to fix it. Most times it is soldered onto the
motherboard, so you will have to desolder the old and solder a new one.
Maybe your memory is bad or the memory slot is bad.
Remove the Power Cord, Remove the Battery, Remove
the cover that houses the memory on the bottom of the laptop then remove
one of the
memory chips. Set the chip aside then try rebooting the computer.
If it boots, then you know the memory chip you set aside is bad so mark
an x on
it with an ink pen. If it fails to boot then move the chip to the next
memory slot and try rebooting. If it fails take the chip out and set it
aside, then put the other chip in and try booting it in both slots. If
it
boots, just to verify that the chip set aside is bad, mark an x on it
and put
it into the open memory chip slot and try booting.
When
you boot up to the log in screen type in administrator as user to log
in if you cant log in
during
the boot up process you will see on the screen for a short amount of time press
a certain key to enter set up press and
hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS scroll down to set user
password or supervisor password you can change or remove your password from
there
also
The
most common way that we know on how to reset or clear the BIOS password is to
physically remove the power from the computer by disconnecting the power plug
and then removing the Cmos battery for 30 minutes from the motherboard. Another
way is to reset the clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard itself. Both of the 2
methods mentioned works because most motherboards use a battery to sustain the
BIOS/CMOS settings for the motherboards PROM chip. So by cutting off cmos the
battery power, the BIOS/CMOS settings will be erased. Hope this helps you
