Yes it did.Does the power light on your monitor flash too like its in standby mode but not coming on?\

This is pretty much one of the replies I had from the IT guy at work.Try removing the power cable from the computer and press and hold the power button for 30+ secs to try and drain residual power from the system. See if it boots up after that.
If the above doesn't work you may have a hardware issue. If there is an error during POST then you would normally get some beeps from the system to indicate something has failed or there's a configuration issue.
If you have a dedicated graphics card installed you could try removing that and trying the on-board graphics if they are available.
Most TV's will have either (or a combination) of DVI, VGA and HDMI. So you could plug your computer into the telly to prove your GFX card outputs that way.Will see if I can source a monitor. I can borrow a lead from work but taking the monitor out of the office won't go unnoticed
