hi,

i have an hp laptop running vista home premium. Well my girl hit the
power button to put it into hibernation, she said it didnt do anything.
Then she went to the start menu and put it into hibernate from there.
Well, now the pc will not power on, it is showing no signs of power
whatsoever. The onlt sign of power to the machine is the little light
around the AC input jac is lit up when its plugged in. PLEASE help so
much info on it.

Thanks in Advance

Unplug the computer and try plugging it back in again after a few minutes.
You should never use the power button to try and put a computer into
hibernation or sleep mode you use the start button to select the shutdown
mode.
If appears that the computer was shutoff by using the on/off button and may
not be able to recover from the unscheduled shutdown.
Try an F8 safe mode boot if a normal mode boot does not work.

That is easy. Unplug the power jack and remove the battery. Wait for two
seconds. Then put the battery back in and it will do fine. Happens to
everybody sooner or later.

Says who? Using the power button to suspend, hibernate, or shutdown a
computer is perfectly acceptable behavior. That's why there are setting
which let you set what the power button does.

First guess is a bad power supply or motherboard.

By power button I mean the on/off power button/switch on the front of the
computer and not the Icon on the startup menu.

Interesting on any of my computers if I push and hold the power button on
the front of the computer for about 5 seconds it completely shuts down and
therefore completely interrupts any running process and the next time I
boot I get an F8 dialog stating that my computer shutdown abnormally.
From your comment apparently there is a way using to use the button on the
front of the computer to emulate selecting the shutdown choice menu
available from the start menu. which I am not aware of.
