Try removing the hard drive before doing anything, including a BIOS reset. Many laptops have problems booting with a damaged hard drive (or drives that refuse to initialize) to eliminate a common failure point with dropped laptops. This will make it clear if you are dealing with other hardware problems because the machine will see the drive isn’t there and try and PXE boot or ask for boot media. The guide to do this can be found [guide|33878|here], although this is for the 571 rather the the 571p. It shouldn’t be an issue since pp usually indicates Performance, so it’s likely the same disassembly wise but it uses AMD/nVidia graphics instead of Intel onboard video. While the machines are likely similar, watch out for any traps because of the slight model difference in the linked guide.

If you continue having problems, either reset the BIOS with the pads @oldturkey03 talked about or remove the CMOS battery.
