Back up further.
Before the screen does anything.
You press the power button and what is the first thing that happens?
How long after you pressed it did that happen?
What I'm trying to get at is when you first turn on a computer it does something called a POST (Power On Self Test). That is where the beeps and/or lights that people are asking you about are going to happen. Other than sometimes the fans spinning up for a second, this is the very first thing that should happen, and if it isn't happening then you can watch the screen and hot the keyboard until the cows come home, nothing will help.
