It could be, but there are different varieties of "refused to start up". Does the: 1) power come on (lights light up, drives spin) 2) machine make the bonging chord 3) screen light up (grey screen) 4) mouse cursor appear (little arrow appears in top left corner) 5) Attempt to find a System Disk (either flashing disk icon in screen center or starts booting the OS)? If it gets further than that, let us know. Knowing which of those five steps it failed at gives a much narrower idea of where the problem lies.
