    Started my laptop and got hit with a locked computer. Says Windows Defender Security Center . A error number and a number that is supposedly a legit Window call number. Am I being scammed?

    This is likely to be one of those where, as I don't know what you've already tried, I'll have spent time suggesting what you have tried.

    That's why I asked for a clear list of what you have tried.

    Do you see this when you toggle caps lock?

    My hp laptop wont turn on

    This is a frequent problem am sure as you have already seen from online searches.

    Flea power is usually the culprit here, basically its residual power that remains on the computer even after thecomputer has been shutdown. You can drain the flea power with the steps the other answers have suggested.

    • Disconnecting the battery and adapter
    • Press the hardpress the power button for 30 seconds
    • This should clear the flea power

    If this doesnt work, read this article its about
    a dell inspiron
    but the same applies for you hp. It has some detailed step by step instructions
