    do you have the ability to connect it to an external monitor or television?

    if so, try that and report back.

    no lights in the front? Holding downt he power for a long time does nothing?

    what Macbook? if it has a removable battery, try removing it and just using AC power.

    Beyond that, you'll probably have to have a tech take a look at it.... if there is no signs of life at all.. not the faintest noise, front sleep light ever making any light... etc... then there is probably something dead in it. Most likely though it is NOT your hard drive, which means you shouldn't have any lost data at this point.
