It would help to know what operating system you have. Is the screen black? Do you get a startup Chime? Have you tried a pram or smc reset? https://support.apple.com/kb/ph18761?locale=en_US https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295 Have you tried toggling the F2 button? If you OS is above 10.6.8, try Command-Option-P-R keys at startup to go into recovery. There you can run disk utilities or reinstall.
