I had a DLink AP do exactly that after a power flick during a storm.
The WLAN LEDs (802.11a/bg) (and power, IIRC) stopped illuminating, but
everything else was still lit.  Reset didn't work on it either.
I thought it was toast, but was able to fix it.  The firmware simply
became corrupted during the power flicker.  When I hooked it up to a
computer directly, it gave me a page saying that firmware was
corrupted and an option to update the firmware.

Are you setting up a static IP on your laptop before you connect it?
Set up something like IP 192.168.0.100 , Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 ,
and then try connecting to it at 192.168.0.1
If it is just corrupted firmware, you should get a page saying that
the firmware is corrupted and also a means to upload new firmware from
your laptop.

Try connecting the laptop to both the WAN and one (all, if need be)
LAN ports.  I forget which I had to use.  (I think it was actually one
of the LAN ports that I did have success with.)

If that doesn't work, then it is probably toast...
