There is a switch on the power supply that should be set to 110/120, but some manufactures set the default to 210/220. Also is it totally dead or do you get any beep codes? Also if it's an IBM product, some models are noted for this type of behavior, try this:
1. Remove the power cord from the wall, but leave it connected to the power supply.
2. Short all three prongs of the power cord preferably with resisters but any wire will do.
3. Push the power button on the computer.
4. Remove the resisters/shorts from the power cord.
5. Plug it back into the wall and see if the computer powers on. If not repeat process.
Note: Make sure the wall jack does have power, test with a lamp. Your might be surprised.
