Is there _any_ sign of life about it - any lights on (on the motherboard
if a desktop, or the telltales if a laptop)?

If there's any sign of life, then you can save wear and tear on your
power connector by holding the power button in for several seconds -
this will usually force it to shut down altogether - then a brief press
to start it as normal.

I don't know what the cause of your problem is, but saving wear and tear
on the power connector is worth doing - they're a right pain to replace
when they wear out on a laptop, and on a desktop they're at least in an
awkward-to-get-at position round the back.
