Open the case and look on the motherboard to see if any capacitors are bulging or even leaking electrolyte. There was a generation of HP motherboards that were plagued with this problem (Bad Caps) and no boot is a common symptom. See this site for more information:

If you see any caps that are bulging or leaking, probably the motherboard has gone bad. If so you will have to contact HP for replacement as the OEM version of Windows may not boot on a new motherboard as it recognizes a new machine. The recovery program probably will not run either.
