    Hi, it may have gone into hibernation.
    Take out the battery, with the battery out, hold down the power button for at least 30 seconds.
    Reinstall the battery and see if it powers on.

    Hope this helps

    No joy with that.. the "on" light is on and I can hear it is working.. could it be the screen? and if so would it be worth fixing? I think its about 6/7 yrs old

    Turn it on and then hold down the power button, don't let go until you hear it click off.

    If you have spare monitor, PC or modern TV just plug the laptop into it. If you get somthing its just the monitor (the ribbons / cables often go on older devices).
