No, unless you are ready to pay almost as much as the notebook is currently worth to a technician to replace the systemboard. I would not be so eager to do that.
If you plug in the power adapter and the power led comes on and you cannot start the notebook then it is likely that the issue is a problem with the systemboard. That was why a hard reset was suggested.
It is not normally cost effective to replace the systemboard out of your own pocket. Once the notebook is outside of the warranty period, the cost of a replacement systemboard plus the installation and configuration cost will be higher than that of a replacement notebook, unless you happen to be skilled enough to do it yourself.
It is time to consider which notebook would be a suitable replacement for the one that has just failed.
You can access and recover the data on the notebook's hard disk by placing it in an external hard disk enclosure. Connect it to another notebook or desktop PC and use Windows Explorer to copy files from it to the oether PC.

Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button
Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
