    Please plug an external (PC) monitor, securely into the back of it
    And try turning it on again

    You will need to follow the above guide in more detail
    Remove battery\HardDrive\all externals
    Reseat Ram (try one card only)
    Possibly, open it up! (ie dimantle)

    To be honest im really a computer novice i have no idea hoe to reseat the ram nor dismantle it

    Many manufacturers provide guides (including pictures) that you can download (by the way, I'm repeating on every post here, what's already written in the guide)

    But with all power out
    Turn the laptop over
    You should see a couple of covers (usually with one screw, holding in the cover it self)
    Remove the covers
    Reseat the Ram (they click in and out)
    Reseat the harddrive

    Did you at least manage to remove the battery?

    If you can post a picture try to, that will help people point you to what you should open.
