This is a long shot but is the battery still good? My HP won't run
without a battery. My Dell Latitude, or my IBM Thinkpad will work
just fine without the battery, but not my HP Presario. Remove the
battery and it won't run. So maybe if it goes bad it won't run
properly either. I would ask the question in the HP support forums.
I would disable sleep, or hibernate mode to make sure the problem
isn't related to them. Sometimes people don't realize that their
laptop isn't really OFF, it's just taking a nap and you have to use
the right keystrokes to wake it up without going through a shutdown
startup routine.
If that isn't it, and you are sure the display is OK, and it
isn't just a case of not seeing anything on the display, (you can
test this by plugging into an external display), then I would suspect
the power supply, power regulator, or something on the motherboard.
