Sounds like a dead PSU, CPU or board. Start with the PSU. Take it in to a tech shop and have them test it or get a multimeter.

Take it all apart, put it back together again. Make sure all connections are connected.

Reset the CMOS! <--Try this first, it could be that simple.

Sorry I should have given more info
the HD light turns on, I get "operating" lights no spin up sound. The media center built in the sound bar gets lights.
I googled seems very common over heating issues, plus Nvidia GPU issues along with dead motherboards............Oh Joy!

They use very cheap PSU's. It sounds like a PSU issue to me. Google will alsom show PSU dead. Your asking for advise and now your telling us what the problem is...... Try the PSU 1st. There is no way for us to diagnose the problem unless we have the computer in our hands Jaggerwild. If it doesn't boot, you will have to take it in.

Remove the battery on the mobo for a few minutes. There might be a jumper on the board... Not sure with it being an HP and all.

Good luck!

@DrDEATH
i got a brand new PSU for it, it does heat up fast. Im gonna remove the battery, disconnect power and hold the power ON button for five minutes see if that helps.

Thanks keep um coming!!!

DrDeath, its a friends lappy thats out of warranty. Im trying to let you know what Ive tried.
OK
sorry as its hard to communicate from a one inch crack phone display, and I know things get missed in translation.
So I did the hard reset with the battery removed and googled some more. Same result with a hard reset, but after googling I found it is giving me an error code with the LED lights then it shuts down. Also these have issues with mainboards, PSU, and GPU'S.
My error code is a one blink, as I cant find any info on the net im gonna call customer support(that should be fun). I will try opening it up and checking all connections as Erocker
