Mickey has some bad news this time. If your splash screen appears, then your Power On Button, power cord, internal power supply, CPU, BIOS chip, monitor cable, and monitor are working. But they usually do.
The most common cause of failure in a laptop is the hard drive, and if the splash screen comes on normally, and then disappears, your hard drive has probably failed. Depending on your model, the BIOS chip might be able to give you some suggestions about getting into Safe Mode. If you can, immediately run your anti-virus program. But the most likely cause is that your hard drive is failing but isn't dead yet. My advice? Back up everything you can.
It appears that there is a 1/3 chance that your problem is with the software, and a 2/3 chance that it is the hard drive (or some other hardware) itself. If you can borrow a legal copy of your operating system, put it into the DVD drive and reboot: MAYBE a repair menú will appear, and MAYBE it will let you solve your problem.
