Make sure the hard drive cable is plugged in good and the power button is as well. then unplug the power cord from the supply and take the cmos battery out. before you plug it back in hold the power button in for about 30 seconds. Put the cmos battery back in make sure all of your ram is seated well as well as video and wireless cards. Plug the cord back in and give a shot Might just need a hard boot.

SOURCE: Fan is running, power button with blue light is off, cpu won't boot up
Your cpu might have died. As the computer is starting tap F8 and choose last known good configuration to see if you can get it started.
SOURCE: We experienced a power outage today, our Gateway
It could be the monitor died or the monitor cable is loose at one of the ends ( check both ends are connected and tight ).
try another monitor or if you have a newer TV with a vga monitor connector try your TV. (you will need to change the TV input to computer or to VGA )
SOURCE: Computer will not boot. The CPU fan runs wide open
most likely a video card problem / motherboard problem or memory problem
i would suggest start with the easiest and the cost effective one.
take out ram, power on, power off, install ram.
reboot.
When
you plug in the power cord is there any lights whatsoever on the computer?
When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,
lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear the
DvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for a
second or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, but
the screen is not showing for some reason.
Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with the computer
and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issue when you
hear beeps or blinking lights continuous. Most times the problem is with
the memory or Video Card. Count the Blinking Lights or Beeps and take note of
their pattern (1 Long or 1 Long followed by 2 Short).
Maybe your power cord is bad if you don't get anything to happen whatsoever
when you press the power button.
Maybe
you have a Static Charge Buildup. Remove the Power Cord, then Press and
Hold the power button for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds plug the power
cord back in and hit the power button to see if it boots.
Maybe
your memory is bad or the memory slot is bad.
Remove
the Power Cord, Open the Case and remove one of the memory chips. Set the
chip aside then try rebooting the computer. If it boots, then you know
the memory chip you set aside is bad so mark an x on it with an ink pen.
If it fails to boot then move the chip to the next memory slot and try
rebooting. If it fails take the chip out and set it aside, then put the
other chip in and try booting it in both slots. If it boots, just to
verify that the chip set aside is bad, mark an x on it and put it into the open
memory chip slot and try booting.
Maybe
your power supply is bad. Sometimes there is enough power to make the
power light or some other lights come on but not enough power to make the fan
turn on or hard drive spin.
When
you plug in the power cord is there any lights whatsoever on the laptop, where
the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of the power cord?
