fans run, but won't boot up (HP Pavilion)

This PC (HP a230n) was shipped across the US to me so that my college student kids wouldn't have to share a PC...the power supply light on rear is lit, as is the power button on front. All the fans run at power up. Keyboard light flashed, but no beep, and no display on the monitor I hooked up. It is supposed to have XP on it. Should I insert the system restore disk? (The CD tray will open and shut.) I'm guessing the shipper may have given it a few knocks, and things may have broken loose, but I have the chassis open and things look secure. If anyone has experienced this type of boot problem, I would appreciate advice. Thanks in advance.
