Matt can’t get his laptop to start up, there’s just the sound of the fan and nothing else. If you are sure you can’t hear anything but the fan then perhaps your hard drive has died. There are normally light ont he front of a laptop to indicate activity in various hardware components one of which should be for the hard drive (they should have symbols on them). If this light is red or not on then perhaps that would be further proof of a failed hard drive.
It could also be a dodgy power supply or corrupted operating system or boot procedure so maybe try reinstalling your system.

som good advice, in this situation it is normally down to a failed hard drive.
