I need a little more information. Is the computer completely dead like no Spash screen. What kind of laptop is it?

As willie42 said, more info would be great. Does the computer make any noise? Are there any lights flashing? Is the laptop plugged in?

One thing that may have happened is that your laptop ran out of battery and went into hibernation and now cannot wake up, either because it need to be plugged in, or because there is a problem.

1. Unplug laptop from electricity socket.
2. Remove laptop's battery
3. Replace battery, plug laptop back in
4. Turn on computer
