Acer Aspire E 15 won't boot up

I have an Acer Aspire E 15, and I shut it down the other day and it was working fine, but now when I try to turn it on, you can hear the fan start briefly then it goes off, then fan runs again briefly and goes off again, and this cycle just repeats again and again, but nothing ever comes on the screen.
I tried a reset by taking battery out and holding power button on as I found a few things to try on Google but nothing works.
Any ideas?

Is this a desktop or a laptop?

Full model number if you please.
Does it ever reach the ACER logo? If it does, when it cycles back to a blank screen, press and hold the Alt key and whilst pressing and holding it down, press the F10 key(repeatedly if necessary). If you see a "Please wait.." message under the ACER logo, you have done it right.
That opens a screen wherein you can choose your keyboard layout(UK likely) and then on to options to recover your device.

Did your google search list this link?
This Youtuber seems to have a good following. 7 separate videos all dealing with Acer laptop startup issues.
Wonder whether it’s connected to roll out of latest Windows 10 feature update 2004?
