    When you plug your power Adapter in, does any lights come on indicating that it recognizes the power / charging the battery? If not, most likely you have a dead power adapter and your battery is dead (it can't get charged) (hence you can't turn on your laptop)
    If you do, then there is most likely a hardware issue and you need to contact IBM or where you purchased the laptop -

    I have the same problem.

    Will not power-up. No lights come on indicating that it recognizes the power. Swapped power adapters with a guy here at work with the same model - no power. Swapped batter pack - no power.

    Anyone with a solution?

    so the battery light on the front doesnt turn orange or green or flash? Have you called tech support? You need to get an RMA! I dont think you have an FRU solvable problem.
