Hi kealla,
The most probable cause of the problem can be detected by removing few of the components from the computer and then trying to place them back one by one. Remove the components in the following order and try to power on the computer after removing each one of the component one-by-one:
1. AC Adapter (with AC Adapter removed try to power on the computer only on battery)
2. Battery (with Battery removed keep the AC Adapter connected)
3. Optical Drive (or any other device in the Media Bay)
4. Hard Drive
5. Memory (if there are two memory modules in the machine remove both if the computer beeps, put only one at a time in each slot to identify which slot is bad)
6. Modem
7. Hinge Cover
8. Keyboard
9. Mini-Cards
10. Bluetooth
If you are able to identify the point of failure during removal (and then powering on) of any of the components listed above, you can consider it as the point of failure. If the computer still doesn't power on, the problem is with the Motherboard or some other internal components. For the latter case you will need to have your computer serviced by a technician. You will find the steps for removal of the parts listed above in the Service Manual.
Do reply with results.
