By "will not activate" do you mean does absolutely nothing or will not boot?
I have had both and managed to resolve as follows:
If the former, and you haven't used it recently, it could be that the battery is totally flat. Try plugging it into the mains and leaving it so for half an hour. Eventually my charging light started blinking and I was up and running.
If the latter, it could be the CMOS battery that has died. Usually quite easy to replace, but check doing so with your model on YouTube first to see if you can tackle it.
Good luck. These things are very frustrating!
