Hello, 

I have an HP "Chromebook" given to me by a friend. The charging light is on, and white, but it will not turn on. The computer doesn't even try to start. I've tried the refresh and power thing but that won't work either. Please help! The PC has been dead for a while, but I don't know how long, or what it runs on. I've never seen the PC in working shape. Thank you!

Sounds like your friend gave you a brick.

I agree, but I'd like to try to fix it if it's a hardware issue and it's cheap

The only way to know is to locate the troubleshooting guide for the particular model you have.
