Brain dead is right. Since the lights aren't coming on, it might be memory, 
or CPU, or mainboard. So try to locate the memory, remove and reinstall it. 
If you have two modules, put only one in. Try again. Still dead? Swap to the 
other memory module. Still dead? Take it to a shop - even I try to avoid 
getting into the guts of a laptop.
