Is it plugged in?

1) Check the circuit breaker and make sure it hasen't blown. 2) Check your surge protector and make sure it functions. Try using a different one or plugging the computer directly in to the wall. 3) Check the power cords, make sure both ends are plugged in. 4) If the above options fail or the outlet has power and the computer is plugged in, then it's likely going to be a component inside of the computer. If you can, open the side of the computer case then look inside and tell us if you see any lights on. If you do, then the power supply is good and it may mean the motherboard or some component attached to it has gone bad.

Make sure that the power cables are properly in place, and that the power outlet/ surge protector is working properly too. If the above is taken care of, THEN press the power button, with the back of the computer facing YOU not AWAY from you as it normally would be. Look at the fan in the back of the computer as you press the power button. If the fan is not spinning, or starts to spin, then stops, then that means that you power supply (of which the fan is sitting on top of), is blown, and needs to be replaced.
