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 

My on/off button remains illuminated until I switch it off.

From HP support:

Turn off the computer.
Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station.
Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices, such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Press and hold the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain residual electrical charge from the capacitors that protect the memory.
Put the battery back into its compartment and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook, but do not connect any of the peripheral devices.
Press the Power button to turn on the computer.
On the Options screen, select Continue to open Windows 10.
If a startup menu opens, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, and then press the Enter.
Reconnect each of the peripheral devices.

Thanks....but I have already tried this before posting here.

You might get some sensible answers if you posted your thread in the right section M'Lud.

We don't mention that kind of thing when our more senior members do it. It confuses them even more and they forget what they were posting about.

You speak from personal experience, I presume.

Surely you have a 1974 Marina to get back on the road in order to tempt the local Darzett farm girls.

Ah if only M'Lud... 

Anyway taking the piss out of you is much more fun!

You'll need the desirable 1.8TC coupe if you want a wet dick.

It worked well in 1986 M'lud, but I think the girls have moved on now.

1986?

It's only 35 years Tig.......they will look much the same.

The mighty Marina will improve with age like a fine wine.

The girls will become fat and unloved with a fanny as dry as sandpaper.

The mighty Marina became bake bean tins in 1987...    and I can't disagree about the girls!

Has it been apart, and fingered, without precautions?

If so, lesson learnt.  Also, never buy consumer oriented laptops, such as HP Pavilion or Dell Inspiron or anything Acer. IE, if PC World sell it, you don't want it. They are designed to last the warranty period only.


Laptops, due to high demand lately, coupled with component shortages, are horrifically expensive currently.


Back to the issue, its unclear from your description above, did you try to start it with the battery out?
