power light is on, black screen.I can here the fan running. Why won’t computer start and what can I do too get computer to turn on?

Hello Mark, The first thing I would try is hard resetting the laptop. To do this, you will need to hold the power button down for 5 to 10 seconds. Then turn the PC back on.

According to what I have heard, the backlight may have failed. Try shining a bright light, like a flashlight, on the screen and checking if you can see anything.
