Acer 5610z will no longer boot after doing Windows updates

I have Windows Vista in Acer 5610z.  After uploading 12 Windows updates and shutting down it will no longer boot.  Green power light comes on and I hear the fan blowing for about 20 seconds and then silence.  Monitor is blank.  I have tried F8, F5&6, F10, F11, F12 with and without FN, or ALT.  I have removed battery, disengaged power cord, rebooted, etc.  i.e., I have done all the standard procedures.

 

Need somebody with special knowledge.  Can't get to Safe mode, or anything else.

 

Thanks

    glovepro,

     

    If the display stays blank when you press the power button and nothing appears, have you tried connecting an external monitor to see if anything displays?

     

    Does the power light stay lit or does it shut off?

     

    If you get an external display, and if you can get into the BIOS, do you have F12 enabled in the BIOS; I believe it is disabled by default.

     

    If you get an external display you can try to get into safe mode that way, possibly running a system restore to before the problem started.
