Power light comes on but nothing appears on monitor

So when I press the power button on my Compaq Presaria 5000, the light on the power button comes on, plus the light next to it with a little cylinder picture comes on. The lights on the keyboard flash on briefly, but then stay off. The fan on the power supply and the fan over the heatsink both start up, but nothing appears on the monitor. And the computer doesn't make all the normal sounds it makes when its booting up.

Also, I don't think this is the cause of the problem cause it occured after the problem started, but I just want to mention that when I took the cover off the computer the heatsink fell off the motherboard and is now sitting on the floor of the computer.

I've tried putting in a new lithium battery in but that didn't help. Any help gratefully appreciated

Mostly your heatsink damaged your motherboaard. check caps lock LED and Number Lock LED are working after switching on. If not ur motherboard or processor get damaged and u had mentioned what happened. Ur heatsink shorts some circuit in  your motherboard

My compaq presario V6000 is stop working out of blue..Don't know why..the power cable is connected but hit the power button,nothing happens..any solution ??

Disconnect all cables from the computer. Press and hold down the power button for about 20 seconds. Reconnect only the power cable and try to turn on the computer on pressing the power button If it turns on then good otherwise, switch the power cable of the computer with the power cable of the monitor as they are the same cable as the power cable could be bad but this rarely happens. Open the computer and see if you see any light on the motherboard, if you do then the power supply is bad. If you dont then both power supply and the motherboard could be bad.

Compaq presario 5000 startup problem

Firstly the keyboard does blink, but do you hear 2 beeps one then another a few seconds later, if not memory or graphics fault. Are you able to start in safe mode(press F8 when pc is booting up)when menu comes up highlight 'Start windows with last known good configuration' then press enter and it should re boot. The graphics card(if it's not onboard)may need to be removed and re seated, also the memory. Also check hard disk drive ide and power cable.
