Compaq laptop won't start, the power light is on

[viper13]

I have a Presario X1050, the laptop just froze on me all of a sudden, the screen went a little weird on me with waves going from one side to the other of the screen. I shut it down imm. but then it never started again. Now when I turn it on, the power light comes up, I hear the hard disk running for a second or two then it comes to a still. The power light and fan stays on but nothing comes up.

I would really appreciate any advice.

Thank you.

Turns out the Video cards warp in these after time and we found a place to get them repaired.. ikenfixit.com Friendly people and quick service.. Cards cost 235.00 for a 32Meg onboard video memory I believe..
