Computer won't start up, power light comes on but there is no sound, screen seems to do nothing. It is a Tiny A440 laptop, and was wondering why this suddenly would not start. I didn't load any new programs or change anything, just didn't start.

Would've advised you to change/ check BIOS battery if you had a desktop -- Since you got a laptop, I'd advise you to send it out to professionals to handle it :)
PCs dont usually start if BIOS battery is drained (well, the same thing happend around 10-12 times with me :) )
Also check the power adapter/battery pack for damages
Hope this helps
