Have you tried any of these steps?

Mac doesn't boot

Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on

A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac​

How long did you wait? The blue screen is a normal part of the boot process. You need to give it time to complete.

Never took so long

first time I can specifically remember the blue screen justing sitting there....
Not sure at least a minute or so. Sure I should have just walked out to the kitchen etc and gave it more time.
Had not taken so long before. Just saying
thanks
