I'm assuming you've verified the outlet and that the cord is in good shape. My first guess is a defective cord. If it won't turn on at all, no lights, nothing, odds are the internal power supply or internal fuse has blown. You won't be able to fix this unless you can work on electronics so I recommend taking it to a service shop.
