3 blinks indicates bad memory.
HP Notebook PCs - Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps | HP®*Support
Try re-seating the memory, if you have two memory sticks, try just on in each slot, if it boots up try running memtest on each stick in each slot separately and then test in opposite slots/memory
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
Run the test for several hours and if there's any errors, it'll need to be replaced. If you only have one stick of memory and the pc refuses to boot, get another stick of memory and try that
