    you say it won't boot, can you hear the hard drive/fans running, or does it just not respond to the power button at all?

    HP's thermal design has always been pretty garbage. Replace the fans, thermal paste, and blast some compressed air in there. See if that does the trick, it did for my old Pavilion.
