The screen on my son's hp touchsmart notebook is black, I have powered off, then the hp logo appears for a few seconds then nothing.

IF you get a lit boot logo, the basics of the internal GPU/screen are working.

Are there any BIOS/Setup keys displayed w/ the logo?

If there are, go into Setup/Bios and see if the HDD is detected or if anything shows failure.
