Hi.
This sounds like your bios has gotten "stuck".
This procedure may or may not work, but it has worked for other hp/compaq computers in the past.
First, if you are connected with an ethernet cable disconnect it from the computer.
Next, disconnect the power cord, so that there is no power at all going into your pc.
Now, while it is unplugged, press and hold the power button, and hold it for at LEAST 45 seconds, this causes the capacitors to discharge their loads, and returns the motherboard to a "ready" state.
Make sure that you hold it for at least 45 seconds, as it takes that long for a full discharge to occur.
Now, after that, reconnect the power cord.
Now try to turn on your computer.
If all goes as planned, then your computer should now boot up for you.
If it does boot up, then you can reconnect the ethernet cable.
If it doesn't boot, then either your hard drive, power supply, or drive controller portion of the motherboard has failed.
If that is the case, then I guess you will have to get replacement parts, and put in new for old.
I hope it's not the hard drive, because that would mean all your data would be lost.
Hopefully, this does work though.
After all, it is an official cold reset of the motherboard for HP computers.
I know the steps by heart, that's why it's so easy for me to tell you how to do it.
Good luck to you, and hopefully you'll be up and running in a matter of minutes!
