I was using my laptop ok last night. I closed the lid as I was going for a shower, came back, opened it up...Nothing! Pressed all the usual. return. space, mouse key, anything to get the log in screen to come on. Lots of whirring that felt like the DVD drive, bottom right corner, but nothing else. The small light near the opening catch was glowing dimly but the 'apple' at the back on the lid was unlit. I pressed the off button, could here the computer power off. I press it on and it clicks and I get the whirring and rather louder than normal noises from what I think is the DVD drive, after 30 seconds as normal the disk drive powers down all goes quiet and the lights are as described above. No flicker at all from the screen, no opening 'noise' through the speakers, just nothing. I have turned it on and off many times. Taken the battery out. I then thought maybe it's booting up but the screen has gone, so I connected it to my projector, still nothing at all.

Any ideas from the resident guru's? Mayday!
