Compaq V2508WM Problems

Here is the link to this notebook's specs if needed:

From what I'm told, this notebook has been dropped more than once. It would be nice to be able to fix it for my niece for college.
It no longer boots up. When the power button is pushed, it's light comes on. The CAPS lock button light blinks steadily and the scroll/num lock button blinks steadily also. The dvd-rom cd-rw does a continuous cycling and light blinks steady on it too. Thats it! It will not boot to the BIOS or anything else. There is no logo screen. I think I already know the answer but I wanted to try to fix this.
Any ideas?
TIA

I think you are going to learn what the inside of a laptop looks like.............

Thank you for responding GLC.
I was considering taking it apart but I would like to have a manual for that. I did remove as much as I could including the memory to see what I could of the mobo. I was looking for cracks in it. I thought the drops on the ground killed the HDD but I still should be able to get to the BIOS.
Anyway, I'm going to hand it back to her and tell her to get another. It is a shame though because it has built-in wireless, burner, 60gig HDD etc.

I'll leave this one alone.
