Last two days I am not able to start my Mac. Every time I try to turn on it, I just get blue screen. Not a word! I am afraid that its broken! Almost sure that is hardware. Have you ever had such problem? What have you done to solve it?

It could be hardware issue, you are right. But before you perform hardware diagnostics, I think you should do the following:
First try to hold shift while you turning on your computer and until you see green apple on your desktop, after that type safe mode (booting safe mode could be take some time). When you get there, if you do (if you cant do probably hardware), to start normal just reboot computer. There is just one more trick: Hold ctrl+s while you turning it, you should get black screen with white letters (command prompt). Enter following command:
fsck fy; then press eneter.
If there everything is ok, youll get message that problems werent found. Type
reboot; press enter and you should normal start it.
