So this laptops hard drive led flashes in a pattern, 1 long then 6 short, its an hp mini and i don't know if its a diagnostic code or if its something weird but the laptop won't boot into the BIOS or the display won't even turn on, the fan and HDD won't turn on too. What does it mean! Its an HP MINI 1033 CL, thanks.

Sounds like a motherboard issue. It won't pay to fix this older netbook.

I would simply take it apart, and make sure that the RAM was fully seated, and the HDD was still connected. If this does not help, than it is a goner, and look for something new.
