System specs
Are there any power lights at all? If so, can you hear the hard drive spinning?
If the CD drive will not open, open it by inserting a fine probe into the little hole on the fascia: insert your system recovery CD and reboot. If it boots you maybe have a hard drive failure, if nothing then the most likely problem is the power controller.

alphadank420, if your laptop has mini-PCI slot, then you need mini-PCI POST card to diagnose the problem.
