If the hard drive is bad, it will not go into target disk mode.
there need to be a valid hard drive
however when you boot up it should show the icon(folder with a  
question mark) that tell you it is looking for the system folder. If  
it does not find one you should get a different icon thats denotes no  
valid system disk was found (broken folder) I think? might be  
different these days
Since you are notare not not getting to that point at all. I suspect a  
serious hardware issue.
Either mother board or processor related.
