When I press my power button on my laptop (Packard Bell EasyNote TJ61) the power LED comes on Blue and the fans start for about 5 seconds, then goes silent and the screen doesnt change from black. When plugging the charger in it beeps and the power light comes on Red.

Anyone know whats going?

Tried the battery pull for 10mins, tried booting with the charger only, tried holding the power button down for 30seconds etc. But Nothing

Any suggestions?
 
A little update - I plugged in the charger this morning after trying a few more fixes and when I plug in the charger the laptop beeps. This is the first time i've connected the charger since it happened, it also beeps if I remove it.

The laptop is clearly running because when I press the sound led touch pad it lights up, the disk drive opens up, and the power light remains on. But if I hold down the power button for a long spell it doesnt switch off?

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions on how I can check it? I am pretty good with fixing most laptops and problems etc. But not too sure on how to check the motherboard on a laptop
 
If you tried swapping out RAM and it's still doing the same thing, then it's a motherboard.
 
Someone suggested making sure the magnets aren't jammed next to the hinge as this is like sleep mode when the lid is closed.

Could that be it?
If so, how do I check / fix that?
