do any drives spin up? check to see if there's any power coming from the power supply or if it's fan is on. it sounds more like a power supply problem, the board would have to be very dead not to turn on the power supply, though it's possible. xlr8yourmac.com may have the pinout for the power supply, in which case you can try to hot wire it to turn it on, that's the next thing i'd try to see if the power supply or logic board were the problem (or problems).
