Depends upon what you mean by it not turning on, there are various causes.
Is the power button pressed and nothing happens? Disconnect all other devices, then a SMC and NVRAM reset.
Is there a white screen and nearly nothing? A hosed EFI firmware.
Is there a grey screen and a loading bar that gets stuck? Either a failed firmware update or corrupted drive/OS X.
Is there a grey screen with a spinning wheel? Bad third party or Apple at boot kext file.
Are you loading but not able to log in? Possible corrupt third party software designed to startup upon login.
