Are you getting nothing at all, or is the light flashing but not steady? 
Flashing indicates that it is receiving GPS data, but the GPS doesn't 
have a fix. No light at all indicates no GPS data.

Don't worry about a laptop - just plug the GPS into the serial port of 
any computer and see if it's sending data, as a first step. You'll need 
to make sure that the GPS has power, if that's provided over the serial 
connector.
