The computer won't turn on. I press the button and nothing happens. It's dead.

Yeah...that's what I was thinking.

If they determine that it is a hard drive issue, you can pick up a new hard drive, they are pretty inexpensive, and then have the same computer shop transfer over everything from the old drive if possible.
Whoops! noice = noise
You assume correctly! I still have not backed up a single thing.
