It looks like a possible motherboard failure based on the symptoms you have stated.
Try this step - turn off the system - press and hold the fn key and power button to turn it on. It should initiate the diags. Wait for about 2 minutes - the system should start beeping. If you see any display - make a note of any errors you might encounter. If there is no display - count the number of beeps in a cycle. Based on this - we could isolate the exact fault with the machine.
If you could send the service tag and your contact details in a private conversation - we can generate a quote of the repair cost in Pounds - as the system was purchased in UK.
I tried starting the machine with fn + Power button a few times and left it running for ~ 5 minutes each time but there was no display and there were no beeps at all.
I will PM my service tag & contact details shortly.
