I had a power surge and know my laptop will not turn on. I did a hard reset twice and no luck. Still won't turn on. And a white led light stays on constantly why? How can I fix this I need my computer.

If you weren't using a Surge Protector, it's very likely the power surge damaged some component on the system board, and if that happened, nothing you do is going to fix that -- and there is nothing we can do because we HERE have no way of diagnosing or repairing hardware problems.
You will need to have the PC physically examined in a service facility by folks that can run their own diagnostics to determine what is wrong with it.
--------------------
If your PC is still under the original one-year HP warranty, or if you have purchased an extended warranty from HP and this is still valid, then having HP do this is an inexpensive option for you. In that case, you should contact HP Customer Support to see about having it repaired or replaced under warranty.

NOTE: After you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to some one -- it can take a while!
If you have trouble finding a phone number, then try: 1 (650) 857-1501.
Tech Support's number is 1 (800) 474-6836.

If your PC is no longer under warranty, then it will cost you up front to have HP examine your PC. If you want to do that, you will have to contact an HP Repair or Service Center to see if they can examine the PC to determine the cause(s) of the problems, if it can be repaired, and an estimate of the repair costs.
