I ran Avast boot scan and now my computer won't turn on?

Last night i went to bed, but before I did I decided to run a boot scan with avast. I woke up the today and now the laptop won't turn on. Its not the display, the power button does not work. The outlet is ok, the charging light is on. I'm at a loss as to what to do when it simply won't turn on. Please help me. It's a Lenovo Ideapad running window 8 if that helps.

Have you tried holding the power button down for 5 seconds or so? Might be stuck in sleep mode.

Did you ever figure out a solution?
