I'm having laptop problems. It overheated and shut down (which isn't uncommon when I'm playing a game, it's a shaming cooling system) but now won't switch back on. I press the power button once and then it plays a short beep and shuts down without the screen coming on.

I tried removing the battery and holding the power down for a minute like suggested online but that didn't do anything. Apparently it could be a RAM issue, I remove one of the RAM sticks and instead of beeping it stays on for a bit longer and then shuts down. No idea what's wrong with it but I don't want to have to pay someone to check.

Any of you guys know what's wrong?
I sent this to the proper people, will get back with an answer (hopefully).
