Our HP laptop will not turn on except by touching the Media
button light which opens HP Quick Play. On that screen you can
click on the Windows "flag" logo but instead of opening Window
XP, you go into Windows hibernation. No escape, Fn, F8 or any of
those combined with esc will work.

So you might say we're stuck in a loop between HP Quick Play and
Windows hibernation and don't know how we got there!
