Of course you have to open the machine.

I went to turn it on, and no response, no LCD indications, no lights, nothing.  I have very limited electronics skills but a decent sense of adventure, any suggestions for things to try?  (I've already tried the obvious different outlets/power cords).  I haven't taken it apart yet at all.
