Are you seeing anything on the screen at all, or is it totally dark? If
it is dark you may want to try hooking it up to an external monitor to
see if you have a display problem.
If the HD doesn't really do anything, there may be a problem there. One
way to check the overall health of the system is to create a boot CD
(look up "Linux live CD" on Google) and boot up with that. Using that
you can test all other parts of the system to determine whether the HD
is the main failure point.
I'm sure others will have more ideas too...

cd drive searching and nothing more happens until I power it down. The
light with an angled Z in a circle is on too, cannot figure out what
that is to indicate either.
The light for the hard drive comes on for less than three (3) seconds
before going out (is that what might be the issue??). I try to listen
for it to cycle as in a boot up.
My system is a T61 6465-63U.
TIA for your thoughts and input.
