Please be more specific about the PB damages (hinges OK ?) and what's happening when you push the power button. Any activity ? Do you hear the boot chime ? Do you hear the hard drive spinning ? Check if you see a faint image of the desktop if the machine boots.

I also tried connecting to a external monitor and it didn't work.

That's bad news. No external video signal could be related to a logic board damage. Well try all the usual troubleshooting stuff like the pram reset, PMU reset, boot from the installation disk, etc. Any damage to the PB case ?
