Laptop help

[Sandvich]

Ok so, my computer overheated as  usual, but this time it won't turn back on.
My guess is something broke inside it, bu when I turn it on, the lights come on and everything, but nothing happens, the screen doesnt turn on and capslock and something else just blinks.

Everything but the screen works, and it doesnt get anything further than that.

IS this a hardware issue?

My laptop does the same.
I just hit it a few times.. pound on it.  It's an old laptop, but meh, it's gonna break soon.

Ok, I'll try this when no intelligent suggestions come up/work.

We spent over 100 dollars trying to fix it, btw.
Three different repair guys.

I was just getting my head out of my ass.

On Topic: Have you considered removing the laptop cover to see if the graphics card is a problem?

[Talent74]

DOUBLE POST:

If the graphics card IS the problem, them try getting a new one, or buying one.

My laptop does that from time to time, try this:
1. take the battery out and unplug it
2. hold down power for 20-30 seconds
3. ???
4. profit

(and you know, reassemble the thing, I just wanted to stay within 4 steps for the whole 1... 2... 3??? 4. profit thing)
