If your not getting power at all the main fuse on the mother board could be blown. Have you tried plugging it into the wall charger to see if it will turn on? That would eliminate the dock connector shorted out. Or Maybe a bum battery. I got a bum one from eBay and seller wouldn't contact me back. The fuse is a small and rectangular shaped, green in color below the vibrating motor.

Before throwing time and money at this I think you should be systematic. Clean out the USB port.....1. Try a hard reset(power+home for 10sec), 2.check battery has a charge greater than 2.2mA or it will not charge, (if the battery is ok it should power the phone on regardless of charging)3. Test fuses near vibrate connection 4.replace dock connector. Jumping straight to replace fuses without testing anything or doing easily cheap things first may miss the problem.

I agree. I was meaning more a visual inspection of the fuse. If you have a nice enough friend to let you use their phone to try switching parts with theirs, that would be the cheapest way. I was lucky enough to have that.
