Last thing you can try is an external monitor, which should differentiate between a screen failure (the external monitor should show an image) and a mainboard failure (if the external monitor shows no image, the mainboard is toast).

Unplug the system, remove the base cover and disconnect the main battery from the system board.  Hold the power button for 30 sec.

Reassemble and try again.

This may be an issue with the windows update. The reason I say that is I have two laptops of this same model dell inspiron 157g bought same time. First one had same problem with not turning on but power supply was fine and I tried battery and all but no use. Now after couple of weeks the second laptop also has the exact same problem. When I press the keyboard the lights do come on but no luck with trying to boot it.
