have you checked the polarity of your power unit?some are positive to centre pin,some are negative to centre pin

Are you in the Americas and using an European adaptor?
Is the adaptor a multi-voltage model?
Set the adaptor to the correct voltage: 120 / 240.

The power switch may be defective or broken.
Replace the power switch.

Does it work with the battery?
If yes, it's possible that you have a problem with the power connector of the computer. It can be fixed, but it's delicate work.

If it don't power up with a fully charged battery or when using the adaptor, it can be some fatal problem with the motherboard.
CAN'T be fixed! You need a new motherboard or a new computer.

Please, don't double post.
