Sounds like dead PSU.

I say what I see. If you find my words offensive, then you find my reality offensive.

hi, if it under warranty then return it or at least contact HP for troubleshooting help .

try removing the battery and just use the power plug.
dose it sound like its boot ,just not showing anything on the screen ,if so hook it to a regular computer monitor

HP is CRAP!!! I had this problem. Had the MB fixed by a shop in Miami. After all updates uploaded the problem came back. HP waited to offer a free fix AFTER the warrantee on these machines expired. So now they want $400 for the repair. I am convinced the bug is being intentionally uploaded during one of HP's "updates". HP deserves to be sued, count me in.
