Hello imlapd. If you don't even see words on the screen when you first turn it on (the BIOS puts things on the screen before it boots to Windows), then there are 2 possible causes. First, the video output or something else on the motherboard is bad. Second, the LCD display (the laptop screen) has failed. The cost to fix either one of these will be close to what the laptop cost brand new if not more. The good news is, if your HP Mini is less than a year old or you got an extended warranty, HP will fix it for free. You just have to call their customer service.

Why all these clueless suggestions? I came here looking for help, but it appears I'll be solving my own problem and lend a hand. First attach something bootable via USB like you already know. Change boot order and boot from some kind of XP install disk. That's where I'm at right now. I'm now in the recovery console which gives me a command line. I had JUST READ somewhere the comand line commands to restore the boot manager that we just compressed.
Hold on....OK ! Problem fixed.
Step by step:
1)Get external CD reader and plug into USB
2)Boot Mini hit F10 or F12, whatever it says to change boot order
3)Reboot and you'll see you now have option to change boot order on bootup.
4)Boot to some kind of XP start disk(stupid me never even looked at HP's recovery disk yet - I didn't want to go there!)
5)Let the startup program run til it stops asking you to select an option, and hit R for recovery console
6)You'll want option 1 for c:/windows and type your password when asked
6)type fixboot then enter
7)It will happily inform you that your boot record is repaired
There may be some warnings or statements in between. You're desperate - agree to whatever they say! ;-)
8)reboot
9)Don't worry, be happy
If you can't stand that you now have that message booting up every time and it looks weird, RIGHT click my computer, properties, advanced, startup and recovery settings, and edit ....change default operating system from ** to Microsoft Windows XPHome etc."
click edit and for good measure delete where it has WINDOWS="" as an operating system. Don't mess with this if you're not sure.
10)Now be happy!

Mini PCs, aka Netbooks often use solid state memory, which breaks down after a time, and can become unusable, especially if you're not shutting down properly. It tends to last just fine, if you power up and down normally, but after, say, over a year of use, flashdrives and other solid state memory cores will corrupt or lose data. You may have to have the information on the disk recovered.
I checked and your Netbook comes with either an 8, 16, or 32 GB solid-state drive, or a hard-disc drive ranging from 60 to 160 GB. Hard discs can also be temperamental if they get banged around a lot. It's a hard decision, because solid state can handle abuse, but degrades, while the magnetic discs degrade slower, but can't handle too many bumps. Your best bet is to contact the manufacturer, and see if they can find the problem. It may simply be a problem with windows. Your machine may run Windows XP or Mi, the latter of which is based on Linux.
DON'T take the battery out. Only take the battery out, if you're using the machine while plugged in, unless the battery needs charging. Leaving the battery in all the time can shorten the life of the battery. The machine needs to always have a power supply, especially for the solid state memory to not degrade.
My honest solution is to give it some time to start up: however long it needs, but if it takes more than an hour, it's not really an easily fixable solution, and will require manufacturer action, or replacement.
