HP a622n won't power up?

The light on the power button blinks, as does the light on the back of the power supply, but nothing else happens. Is this a power supply problem or is it more likely I have a different problem?

Addtional details: About two weeks ago, lightning surge through my cable system fried my cable modem, two TVs, and a VCR. I wasn't able to configure my new cable modem for the Ethernet connection and had to use the USB port.

Update:

Aside from the blinking light, there's no sound or activity at all.
