Power light is blinking. Tried to reset according to HP solution center, didn't work. When TV is plugged into power, light will start blinking again. Neither power button or remote work.
SOURCE: power supply light has blinking green light
If the power box is bad, The computer will not come on. if you only get a green light, you would need to start with replaceing the power box, if you get a new one and the same thing happens, then the mother board is bad too.

hold the start button in and check the back of the case to see if the power supply fan turns while the power button is depressed. If it turns while the button is pushed, but then stops when you let off the button, then the power supply is probably bad and needs replacing.

Your power supply is bad--you will need to replace. I suggest looking at tigerdiect for a replacement.
SOURCE: hp xw6200, 6 beeps, and red power button...failed start up.
6 long beeps indicates that there is a problem with the memory, take them out, clean the contacts and the DIMM slots and reseat them.
Hopefully this will resolve the problem, if not new memory may be required
kind regards

The 'cure' for this is to replace the power supply.
Inside your power supply are Electrolytic Capacitors. These are Filters for a power supply. To simplify detailing the construction of them, let's just say they are small aluminum 'cans', with an Electrolytic paste inside.
They are used to filter the incoming AC electricity from your house, (Business, school, whatever) They are also used to filter the DC electricity, coming out of the power supply. (Your computer power supply converts AC electricity, into DC electricity)
The one's we're going to concern ourselves with here, are the Output capacitors. The one's that filter raw DC into true DC.
When a capacitor (Of this type) starts failing, it's because Electrolytic paste is developing a gas inside. (Hydrogen gas) The gas expands, breaks a seal, and begins pushing the paste out. (Oozing out)
So much paste loss, and the capacitor can still function, but at a weakened state.
These capacitors deal with the voltage power rail for a power supply. Weak capacitor? Weak voltage rail!
Your processor requires a steady, 'clean', supply of DC voltage. It operates in a very TIGHT tolerance. Too much, or too little, it turns off. Too little it doesn't turn on.
The power surge has weakened Electrolytic Capacitors inside your power supply.
Lights light up. Fans spin. It sounds like the harddrive is running. (It IS! It's just sitting there spinning. More about that to come)
ALL the lights use less than 1 watt. EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts. The harddrive just sitting there spinning, uses about 5 Watts.
When it's time for the processor to turn on, (BIOS turns it on), it can't! Processors use 55 Watts to 125 Watts. Depends on the processor make and model.
Your harddrive just is just sitting there spinning, because the processor isn't running.
Solution? Replace the power supply, be happy.
