QUESTION: when i tried to switch it on,nothing happened..no lights,no fans.it's just like a 'dead' laptop..

Answer
There could be several reasons for this. If you can borrow that other person's battery and try it just on battery, that might help too. Maybe it's just the power jack on the back of the laptop.

It's also possible that the motherboard or processor just died, but I sure hope not.
