HP ProBook 650 G2
Hello, I have a problem With my Laptop. It has basically no sign of life. The weird thing is that it shows that it is charging. (Orange light)
Nothing happends when I try to turn it on. I can't just pull out the battery either without dismantling the Whole computer

A lame question - is there still warranty for this laptop? How old is it? It would be reasonable to bring it back to the shop where you've bought it.
How did it start happening? This could happen when the battery is drained. Otherwise the laptop must start even if the battery is dead and the laptop is connected to the power cable.

To be honest I have no idea what triggered the happening. I lied when I said it was my computer, it's not. I just got it in my lap by a coworker. "It wont turn on, fix it" But now that it is turned on, do you know if I cant prevent this from happening again?
Sounds like your colleague had let the Probook go into sleep mode and it became unresponsive to mouse/keyboard. You holding the power button restarted it.
You could look at changing the power settings or see if there's a different graphics driver or depending on how often this is happening just get them to go with your fix which should work reliably (but loses any open work). If they are using an external screen or docking station this can contribute to the problem but if redocked an external display should "wake" the OS.
If Win 10 might be worth looking for updated drivers either from HP or Intel for the chipset.

It stopped charging at 16%.
Turn it off. Wait for 1-2 minutes then try to turn it again on. Will the issue reproduce?
If not then it was hybernation mode which one can turn off.
