This is physical Damage not related to OS per se. Aka corrupted hard drive.
No post means lots of things are "bad" If the screen gets to this via F2 Bios then you have to start there.
I would try removing data cable from hard drive and see if it POSTs with bad hard drive message.
You didn't say what Model exactly or what OS or when the warranty expired.
There are Variations on this theme. F12 CSM booting a Linux DVD can test the hardware.
Hard Drive corruption can be physical or malware or invalid driver related.
