One of 2 things
no OS
dead HDD
This laptop/netbook(they are the same thing to me really) have a recovery partition, press ESC and select "system recovery", and try this
If that is no help, replace the HDD in it, and get a copy of windows 7 home premium 32 bit, you need it, the key is for starter, not home premium
here is a drive(I picked a 160GB, there are other sizes on this drive too)
http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Scorpio-Cache-Notebook/dp/B000RH3W9M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1334261868&sr=8-3
here is windows 7 home premium
http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Premium-32bit-System-Builder/dp/B004Q0T10A/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1334261946&sr=8-4
Ubuntu Linux is also good for netbooks
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
you also need a external DVD drive
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SE-208AB-TSBS-External-DVD-Writer/dp/B005KQ0S8S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1334317890&sr=8-2
trust me, you don't need the support,if you do, pay per incident(i tell people to buy the builder's when they get rid of XP or Vista)
Here is the HDD guide if it's the HDD at fault
[guide|4023]
If that fails, there are some resets and little tips I find work at times with HP laptops
Remove the battery and press the power button on the unit to drain excess power from the netbook, and this may solve it, but this is not necessary most likely, i am including this in case
All else fails, motherboard is going bad, I found a cheap working one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Compaq-Mini-110-System-Motherboard-579568-001-Tested-/251035864111?pt=Motherboards&hash=item3a72e74c2f
note you will need to reload windows after a motherboard swap, the OS "marries" the motherboard, and the key is no good after
If you cannot find a motherboard cheaper then this, buy it, otherwise this thing may just be worth a visit to eBay for parts, just pull the HDD
