Sick laptop question

My wife's HP Pavilon z13000 refuses to load. When the 'on' button is pushed,
the hard drive spins fora few seconds then stops. The ROM bios screen does not appear and the POST test does not complete (no beeps at all). I tried getting to the ROM bios by pushing F10; tried booting from a bood disk, etc and nada. It is (was) running XP Home.
I would think in may be a power supply problem?

Any suggestions for a repair? Is it best to call HP and send it for a factory repair, or is there a better placeto contact? It was fairly expensive a few years ago (1800) and could serve as an extra at home.
