Could be the HDD or even just the boot sector itself. Basically, it's not able to read the Operating System Boot...or it got damaged somehow.

I am assuming you weren't plugged into a surge protector when you lost power. During power outages, spikes in voltage occur, so what happens is there's no mechanism to interrupt that spike by grounding, which surge protectors are designed to do. Any laptop/computer components cannot handle this voltage spike as they are delicate to certain voltage tolerances. I hate to say it, but your laptop is toast.

It sounds as if your power supply is having issues, I would recommend replacing it.  If your good with computers, you can test the power supply: 1. Open the computer tower. 2. Find the main plug which runs from the power supply to the motherboard. 3. There should be 16 wires. 4. Find the green wire, short it to the black wire with a paper clip. 5. If the computer seems to turn on, its your motherboard having issues and you will probably need a new computer.  If it does not turn on, your power supply has failed, and you need to replace it.
I hope this helps!

Could be a dirty fan, or the hard drive.

could be all manner of things, from just the graphics card, to the PSU or even the CPU, itself, I would start trying to test the graphics card (may just need reseating) and then test the PSU, then take it from there
