When you hit the power button do lights accross the top of the laptop come on and the fans start up? Is it like the laptop starts up but there's just no picture or power to the screen? Some of the HP machines have an overheating graphics chipset problem. If you're computer is acting how I described you may need to take it to a computer shop to have them reflow the chipset on the motherboard.
If it's not doing any of the things described above it's possible that your motherboard could be dead. I'd recommend taking it to a shop to have it diagnosed for sure. Don't go to GeekSquad, they'll empty your wallet.
