if you connected the laptop directly to the power source, and yet don't get any response from the laptop when you press the power button, then either your motherboard is bad or your CPU is bad. Either way, if your laptop is several years old then it would be better to get a new laptop.
If your motherboard is bad then (most probably/ of course there are other reasons) chances are that the fuse (it's a special transistor) is bad. If you don't know much about electroincs then I won't suggest you to open the laptop to solder out and solder in new power transistor.
Computer stores usually charge around 100 bucks to diagonize problem with a computer (it's seperate from fixing). However when i was at a Staples or OfficeDepot store ( I forgot which one) last time, I saw a sign which read FREE computer checkup or diagonize or something like that. So call both the stores mentioned, and let them figure out what the problem is.
If you've data you need from the dead laptop then get a hard drive enclosure. It's relatively easy to get harddrive out off of a laptop.
I hope that helps.
