I haven't worked to much with notebooks. Aside from going in and reconnecting and reseating everything you can ( if it's under warranty I wouldn't mess with it) I don't know what to suggest. When you have parts to swap around it's easier to troubleshoot and find the failed component
On the other hand.
From this site:

Here's another laptop problem we're seeing lately: The thing won't power up! When you press the power button, nothing happens… TRY THIS before calling for repairs: REMOVE THE BATTERY, then try powering up. For some goofy reason, Power Management can get confused (especially if the laptop is never run on battery power), and prevent the machine from booting. Removing the main power battery (check your manual if you don't know how) can, in some instances, "reset" Power Management and allow the machine to power up again.
Good luck |

Have you tried disconnecting the drives to see if there's any activity? |
