Give us some clues. Just saying it wont turn on is like going to the Doctor and saying I'm ill, cure me.
Does anything happen, any lights, noises, bleeps. Did it work last time you used it.
It is very rare a computer to die completely without warning and some indication of what caused it.

Could be anything from power failure, to a loose socket to a broken switch. It really is impossible to diagnose without having some further details and an idea as to what was going on before the failure.
As a rough and probably unhelpful solution, though, try unplugging everything and leaving it idle for 15 minutes. Then reconnect the power and try switching back on. It wouldn't be the first time it's worked, even if it makes little to no sense.
