[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

HP Pavilion 14 inch. Two years old.

On/Off button lights up very briefly before going out......then SFA.

Battery taken out and replaced (put back in) still nothing.

[dave the builder]

how far was it thrown and did it hit anything hard ? 
have you checked the power output of the charger with a volt meter ?

You and your laptops

You and your laptops 

Don't let me keep you. You have a whippet to walk and the ironing to finish when you return.😊

Battery was 80% charged and then it won't start. I suppose it could be a fault with the on/off switch itself.

Plugged into the mains still nothing.

I hate this f*ucking tablet.😡

Have you tried sweet talk? Tell it her them you love them?

[dave the builder]

the switch would be a momentary push ,not a permanent on or off ,and by  the "On/Off button lights up very briefly before going out" you have proved it to work 
laptop or tablet ?
re-seating the Ram dimms may help ,it's recently been apart to fit a SSD

Yes. Removed and replaced both battery and (what I believe to be the SSD)

I'm tempted to say 'f*uck it and buy a new one'

A more expensive one might be better. I bought a Dell for my lad last year, £750 well spent.

If it's 2 years old, it's still under warranty. Don't let the supplier of hp tell you otherwise.

The sales of goods act states, an item must be for for purpose and last a reasonable amount of time. 2 years is not responsible for such an item.

Ok, now for suggestions. Remove the battery, don't plug it in, hold the power button down for 10 seconds. Connect to the PSU, then try the power with no battery present.

There are some specific reset methods, but without the exact model number, if be guessing.
