    With battery out hold power button for 30seconds. Then restart. Any different?
    Anything on screen at all (del or F2 at start?); if nothing the prognosis is not good; could try an external monitor.

    i would try an external monitor (if available); (PS any hard disk activity light) then remove hard disk and try in a caddy (or with desktop sata port) to see state of drive/data.
