if you leave out the ram and try it you should get a beep sound because the ram is out ,if you don't get that then it maybe serious problem like bad motherboard .what is the model of your HP
I have 3 laptops here various ages ,and none have a light next to the power jack

It's possible that your power jack is loose so it isn't making good contact with the motherboard and you aren't getting any juice. The jack in the machine could also be faulty. If it starts up and then almost immediately shuts down or if it won't start booting at all, this might be your problem. If you can hold the power cord (male) jack and move it around so it doesn't seem like a solid / tight fit, then that would be a sign.

This is apparently fairly common on at least some HP's. I have a dv9201 and I have that problem. Right now the power cord is taped into position with duct tape and that is keeping it running until I rip it apart to fix or replace the jack.

hard to say from a distance ,really should be looked at hands on by someone with experience in laptops if you want a definitive answer

If the problem is related to the Laptop power jack, here's a clue in how to replace it:

Check first the service guide for your model: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01602064.pdf

The dissasembly procedure will lead you to know hot to take out the mainboard.

After that you will need to desolder the power jack and replace it for a new one.

You can find the correct part here:
