I have an HP laptop and when I press the power button the fan spins for about 1 second and the light indicating the power is on comes on, but then nothing happens. The harddrive light never comes on, and the screen remains black.
It worked fine yesterday and now this problem. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!!!

One thing you can try is to remove the battery and just run it off of AC power...does it do the same thing ? ?
It also may be shutting down to protect itself if it's overheating...how old is the machine ? ?
