HP Pavillion suddenly died and won't start

[Flartibart]

Computer suddenly died for no reason at all, and now it wont start. Nothing happens when I press the start button. The only life signs comes from the tiny lamp next to the charger, it blinks three times when I press the start button. Nothing else happens. I have already tried the hard reset tricks like taking out the battery, pressing the start button for 60 seconds, it didnt help. 

What to do? It has worked without and problems until now...I dont know if I have chosen the correct board since I don't really know whats causing the problem...
