a broken hard drive won't stop the pc from switching on, the most it will do is stop the operating system from loading.
if you are getting no *power* whatsoever when you hit the power button it'll either be a dead motherboard or a dead power supply unit - possibly caused by a power surge coming into the unit.

I had this problem with my computer.. The good thing about Dell is, free tech support! We were able to point out the problem in a little under 2 hours over the phone.
Anyways, It's most likely a dead power supply.
