My HP CQ-221TX laptop had this problem. when i turn it on, it has light for just about tenth of a second, no fan spin, power light also tenth of a second then it died.. if i try to press the power, it wont turn on at all..
 
I had a similar problem on my old Acer laptop. After gaming on it for ~3.5hrs straight, it got really hot, turned off and then didn't turn on again. I had to leave it for an hour to cool down before I could use it again. How long has it been like this?
 


It has been like this for about a week, so i don't think its overheat problem.
