No this is not a blessing. I'm a field mechanic and I use the computer all the time for stuff like parts and wiring diagrams.
Also the company owns the computer not me.
Sounds like it's a display problem more than anything.
Does it beep when it tires to boot?
Can you hear the HDD winding up and trying to boot?

I was going to suggest trying to boot from a bootable CD (Windows XP, Norton, etc...) and see if that works.
That would narrow it down to either the HDD being friend or unreadable or if it's purely a display problem.
