Why won't my device turn on?

My wife has a motorola RAZR M, and last night she plugged it in to charge before bed and when she woke up this morning it does not turn on, when plugged in it does not show the light on top lit up to show that it is even charging nor will it turn on, any ideas?

Try all the usual things:

Make sure there is power at the wall socket.
Try a different charger and USB cable.
Leave it plugged up to the "new" charger for a couple of hours at least.
Hold Power and Volume down for at least 20 seconds.
Hold Power, Volume up and Volume down buttons simultaneously for 20 seconds to see if you and get into the recovery menu.
Still under warranty - get phone replaced by Verizon
Insurance - get phone replaced by Asurion
No warranty (over a year old) or no insurance - Battery is dead get it replaced by Motorola.
Buy her a new no-contract Moto X via Motorola Moto Maker ($70 discount until Feb 22)

wiredtom, let's wake your wife's device up! Press/hold the power and volume up/down button simultaneously while connected to the charger. Then, detach the charger from your device and try it again if the device still does not power on. You should get a reboot screen. Let us know if that works for you.
