Blue characters on the keyboard when I type

It is a combination of key known as "Function" (Fn, for short). You have to press it and hold while pressing other keys showing the blue letters on it. The most common use is to make a virtual Numerical Keypad on laptops, so you can perform calculations. To be back to normal mode, you need to press FN+F8 (or the key with the Calculator icon).

My screen does not turn on

Remove all power (adapter power Cord and Battery (for laptops))
Hold down the ON button for 30secs (dispersing internal voltage)
Plug the power cord in only (ie leave battery out, for the moment)
Turn on

Check your power adapter. Plug it in to a known good power receptacle. See if the power adapter has any lights that light up to make sure it is getting power.
Take the battery out of the laptop and just only plug in the power adapter.
Do any lights on the laptop light up when you power it on? Does it beep?Does it make a sound? Is where you plug your power adapter to your laptop loose or broken?

if no sound or light the its either power adapter , dc jack or cable, or system board .

Please note, it is also a good measure to re seat the memory.
You may need to locate your disassembly guide

How do I restore factory settings

The simplest way is to fully re-format the Hard Drive. Boot to any Windows installation CD or DVD, and when the option comes up, choose to install a new copy of Windows, and follow delete existing partitions and re-format HD options. For extra security, don't select "fast format". End this dummy installation after this formatting procedure. The most secure method for data deletion however is a bit more physical. Remove the hard drive and smash it with a hammer! You'll know the drive is well and truly trashed when you can here bits clanging around in the drive casing when you shake it.
