Hi Demonpig,
You can try the steps for no boot mentioned in the link.
https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln292599/resolve-no-power-no-post-no-boot-or-no-video-issues-with-your-dell-computer?lang=en.
However, check if the system has power do you get fan rotating sound or PSU powering on sound?
Depending on the symptoms you can try no power, post or boot troubleshooting.
