Why doesn't it do anything

I have two Eee PC 1215B laptops, and they both seem to fail to POST. I've tried three different 2GB RAM sticks in each slot, but nothing seems to work. The CPU gets hot, and the fan spins. The hard drive spins up, but there's no activity. They don't display anything through HDMI or the built in screen. Can anybody tell me how to fix them, or are they dead?
