Laptop won't boot at all

Hey guys, I recently opened up my laptop and replaced my HDD with an SSD. After I put everything back together, the laptop won’t even attempt to boot. I opened it back up to ensure that everything was connected to the motherboard properly and it all checks out. I’m not sure what happened and need some help saving my laptop. Thanks

best thing to try is download you old OS + boot loader info on a flash drive or and a portable hard drive connect them to you laptop and attempt to access your boot-loader menu on your laptop if the problem still occurs consult the manufacture WARNING YOU HAVE VOID YOU WARRANTY IF ONE WAS IN PLACE SO IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ASK THEM FOR REPAIR OPTIONS YOU MAY BE DENIED OR YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL FULL REPAIRS

"Some long shots:

Remove the battery and power on only with power from power adapter. (ooops @Jayeff already suggested it). Keep battery out.Try connecting to an external monitor and turn power on.Plug in a USB Keyboard to a USB plug and turn power on."

Hi Austin,if your computer won’t boot up at all,follow these steps,first try checking if the SSD has a operating system like windows 10 home,update your bios,and last replace the cmos battery,if it doesn’t have a OS then here is the download link to windows ten,download from another pc,use the media creation tool link- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software... And for drivers use this link https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/sel.... I hope you found this helpful. Sincerely windowsfan7,and remove battery keep charger and hold power button,before doing,remove battery and ac adapter and hold power to drain any leftover electric fluids. Try disconnecting any drives that makes your computer crash or unbootable,and last,try reverting back to the HDD,or replace the battery

"Have you tried reinstalling Windows 10 on the SSD?

Or you may try removing all external devices to see whether it will work.

Otherwise, you can boot in safe mode to check if there are any problematic apps or outdated drivers that lead to this case."
