I have an HP OmniBook XE3 that just won't boot. I Can't give you specific
specs on the system because each time it powers up, all I get is one long beep,
with no video.
I tried 1. removing battery and powering with power only.
2. powering with battery only
3. reseating memory
4. removing battery, memory, power cord and hold down power button 30 seconds.
All I get is one long beep with no video.
Somebody, anybody please help.

from the results of googling this problem, bad keyboard or keyboard cable seem likely.
If you want to try repairing/replacing components, here's a good link on how to open it up:
