You'll have too provide a bit more information before it will be possiblle to help.

e.g. Is the power supply / battery working?
Does the PRAM batery working?
Have you tried switching it on with the Power Supply plugged in?
Have you added any new hardware to it recently?
Was it working fine last tme it was switched on?

Well, if you've already tried removing PSU and battery for a couple of minutes (to ensure it's really turned off), there's not much else to do, other than finding a good repair shop. :-(

What do you mean by light? It has an LED on the top of the screen but that will not come on when the machine is switched on.

Try holding the reset button at the back in for 10 seconds.
