    If its under a warranty, send it to whoever you have the contract arranged with. Before you do that, there are some things you can try, like using a vacuum to clear out the fans and inlets. If its a P4 chances are it'll collect alot of dust.

    The 6100 series is a pretty old model - 4 years old. I'd check on the fans and make sure there isn't any dust clogging the cooling system as bc135 said. However, based on your diagnostic that the notebook won't turn on, it sounds like a fautly MOBO or power supply adapter (input).
