and sometimes you just gotta work with what you've got.
does it power up when hooked up to AC? perhaps the battery is dead?

Zone:
Nope.  push button, machine stays dead.  No response at all.

Ingo Monk:
Could also try removing the battery, then plugging in AC and powering it up.  If the battery has a short it could cause the laptop to not work.

Zone:
I'll try that, thanks.  The battery has always been a piece of crap.

Ruski:
do any of the power indicator lights work? normally there's some keyboard lights (typically by the power button) that let you know when it's plugged in to a power source. if those aren't lighting up, the power supply is most likely dead, deranged batteries not withstanding. that changes from model to model and brand to brand, so it's not a perfect test.
if you posted some stats on it, I could track down a couple of more thorough things to look for, as well as get you a price list for replacement parts.
