Computer won't turn on

I went to use it one day and it just won't go on,(nothing happens, at all) I cleaned out the dust the best I could, but I'm afraid that irreparable damage has already been done. Is there anything I could still try before I go get it checked out by a professional? (most likely have to have something replaced)

Does it turn on at all? Lights indicating powering up? Does it light up then turn off? Does the computer sound as if it turned on yet it shows a black screen? Please provide greater details so we are able to help you.

Does the power button have a blinking amber light or a solid amber light?  What model do you have?

Blinking amber light = bad power supply

Solid amber light = bad systemboard.

No, nothing at all happens. No sound, no light, nothing at all. I have a Dimension 3000,  XP desktop.  Thank you so far for trying to help.

What is the reading of the power button LED, solid green, blinking green, solid amber, blinking amber?

Check the sequence of the diagnostic lights on the back panel of the case.
